The EVE interface has several very useful basic features that can assist pilots in comparing items in game. These comparisons are instrumental to the ship fitting process and the information found here is one of the quickest ways to help decide which ships, modules and ammo to use while remaining in game.

Located at the bottom of the Variations tab of the Show Info window can be found a button labeled "Compare". Pressing this button will open a separate window that will show all of the Tech and Faction ~~varations~~ of that specific item. Filters can be selected on the left side of the window limiting the information displayed to what may be in question to the pilot for their specific needs. Selecting the "Meta Level" filter and ordering by that column (via clicking on the title cell) will arrange the items from "worst" to 'best", as increasing meta levels typically relates to an items quality. A pilot can also filter greatest to least, and vice verse, for any of the columns in the table by simply clicking the filter's name above the statistic in question. It is then possible to populate the Compare Tool with other similar items (i.e. those Blasters or Rails) and their variations by pressing the compare button on another show info window while keeping the current Compare Tool open. Only items of the same group, such as "Ammunitions & Charges" or "Ship Equipment", can be compared at the same time.

You can also drag-and-drop other appropriate/comparable items into the Compare window, and it will add them to comparison grid.

You can also start with an empty Compare Tool window, by selecting it from the pulldown at the top of the Neocom. And then drag-and-drop the set of items that you wish to compare, into it.
