Installing the EVE University Overview: Difference between revisions

This preset is used to get yourself out of tricky situations.  

*The FC calls an order to be prepared to save your pod, a "scatter" command, or just says to get out.  

#*By placing the link in your Notepad you can then access your saved Overview Profile on the same character no matter if you have to re-install your game client, or install it on another machine, etc.

#*The overview profile links are meant to replace your current overview with the linked settings. When accessing or sharing an overview profile, it will only include the tab presets that were actually in use in the overview of the player that created the profile. If you have specific needs, such as importing more tab presets or avoiding the override of global settings, importing and exporting is the way to go.

=== Sharing your Overview Profile ===

The overview profile links are meant to replace your current overview with the linked settings. When sharing an overview profile, it will only include the tab presets that were actually in use in the overview of the player that created the profile. If you have specific needs, such as importing more tab presets or avoiding the override of global settings, [[Overview_Guide#Saving_the_Profile_to_your_computer|importing and exporting]] is the way to go.

=== The E-UNI Standard Overview Profile Import ===

See the next section to see how to set assign bracket presets.  

== Assigning the Tabs and Brackets  ==

''Note: Patch Notes for Crucible 1.5: Overview: New entries for the overview are now added immediately and do not have to wait for the next regular refresh.''

#Go to the '''Overview tabs tab''' .  

You should now have five different tabs with five different overview presets. During war, you can switch the Missions/ Mining tab to the '''PvP Travel without neutrals''' configuration. This tab can be used if you need to fight in a trade hub that has a lot of neutrals cluttering the overview. However, be warned that you cannot see neutral remote reppers if you use this tab, so it is often preferable to fight with the pvp travel tab and sort by alliance name with the arrow pointing down (or corp name if the war targets are not in an alliance).  

== Using All Brackets  ==

In very large fleet fights, it is inadvisable to have brackets turned on, as this will cause server-side lag when there are hundreds of players shooting at each other in the same system. Most nullsec corps will have instructions for their members on how to minimize lag during large encounters.  

== Using the Tag Column  ==

The Tag feature allows you to assign a number or letter to individual ships or objects in space which will be visible in the Tag column of the overview. The tag will remain assigned to the object until it is destroyed, you dock in a station, or enter a jump gate. This is useful for marking trigger ships during missions, marking trigger ships and kill order in wormhole sleeper sites, prioritizing PvP targets, marking NPC convoy ships for attack (see [http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Guide:Attacking_Convoys EVE Wiki Attacking Convoys Guide] for more details), or any other activity for which you may need to quickly identify specifics objects for a fleet. Only a fleet member in a command position can mark tags.  

== Tagging Process  ==

To tag an object, simply right-click, select "Tag" from the context menu, and you will be given a choice of numbers or letters. Pick the number or letter you wish to use and you are done.
