| === Assigning the Tabs and Brackets ===
| | If you are a member of EVE University you should start with [[Installing the EVE University Overview|EVE University Overview]]. |
|
| |
|
| '' You may have up to 8 active tabs to assign Overview presets to.''
| | Even if you use a premade overview pack you will still need to set the overview presets for your overview tabs. You may have up to 8 active tabs to assign Overview presets to. What presets you have active will depend on personal preference and gameplay activities you take part in. |
| | |
| #Go to the '''Overview tabs tab''' .
| |
| #Under the '''Tab name''' column , enter the following minimum recommended five items:
| |
| #*'''PvP'''
| |
| #*'''PvP Travel'''
| |
| #*'''Situational''', '''Missions''', '''Mining''' or '''Wormhole''' ''(choose whichever one you use, and up three tabs used)''
| |
| #*'''Fleet'''
| |
| #*'''Pod Saver'''
| |
| #Under the '''Overview profile column''' , assign each tab its respective overview profile, i.e. assign '''2 - PvP Travel''' to the '''PvP Travel tab''' and so on.
| |
| #Under bracket profiles, do the same ( '''2 - PvP Travel''' to '''PvP Travel tab''' and so on), '''unless you want to set your bracket profiles to something different''' . If you have set up bracket profiles as per the previous section, assign them here (eg. assign '''6 - Wormhole B''' as a bracket profile for '''6 - Wormhole''' ).
| |
| #Click '''Apply''' at the bottom of the window.
| |
| | |
| You should now have five to eight different tabs with different overview presets, that you can switch-out as needed. 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). | |
| | |
| === PvP Travel + Blues ===
| |
| | |
| You can make a variant of the PvP Travel preset that also shows pilots in good standing to the Uni. Check '''Pilot is in your corporation''', '''Pilot is in your alliance''', '''Pilot has excellent standing''', '''Pilot has good standing'''.
| |
| | |
| This can be helpful to see what kind of friendlies are flying around. This will not show fleetmates. Fleetmates that disconnect from the game will appear on your overview while they warp off, which makes noticing them easier.
| |
| | |
| Adding blues to your overview will show criminally flagged blues, like pirates we have a non-aggression pact (NAP) with. If you show blues, you must be very careful to check icons of outlaws so that you do not shoot blue pirates.

| === PvP Travel + Planets ===
| |
| | |
| Having the planets on overview can sometimes be useful. This can let you see which planets are in d-scan range (approx 14.35 AU). Sometimes used by lowsec PvP fleets to see where the ships on d-scan could be located.

| |
| | |
| === PvP Travel + POS ===
| |
| | |
| Its sometimes good to know if there are control towers in a system, especially in wormholes, and in lowsec when trying to find enemy ships. Control Tower can be found in the Filter > Types tab in the Structures category. Control Towers are more commonly known as POS, or Starbase.
