Over the years, several tools and sites have been created by players to help develop their characters and manage information. Below is a list of various applications and websites that can be very helpful to new and veteran players.
Please note that this list is a work in progress. Feel free to add any additional tools or sites!
Applications
EVE Fitting Tool (EFT)
EFT allows users to create, experiment, and save different ship fittings without the hassle of being in game. The fittings will calculate and display various stats such as tanking abilities and damage to compare with other ships. Players can import their character information to take their skills into account with stat calculation. It will even show the skills a player lacks which is very useful for future planning. EFT is a must have for players both new and old!
EVEMon
EVEMon was created to help players with the daunting task of skill planning. Players are able to load their character information using API keys to keep track of their current skill sheet and training times. You can then develop a plan for future training and it will help optimize the plan by suggesting learning skills or attribute remapping to reduce the time needed. As a bonus, you can view ship loadouts from BattleClinic.com and build a skill plan to get you into that fit based on your character's skills. This tool is extremely useful and can even save the ship loadouts from BattleClinic to import into EFT.
EveHQ
EveHQ is a fully open source application designed to be an all-in-one management tool for use with EVE Online. Players can download and even create their own plug-ins to help manage various information and aspects of the game. The core application itself displays basic pilot information, skill training, and statistics. On the site, they feature plug-ins already created to help develop your character, view item stats, and even plan routes on star maps. If you prefer to create your own, they have a development forum and page where you can download the source code. Although it is not as popular as EFT or EVEMon , it is definitely a great alternative for people who prefer an all-in-one package or wish to develop and customize their own programs.
Websites
EVE BattleClinic
EVE BattleClinic offers tons of great information for EVE players. It features news, guides, loadouts, message boards, and even browser tools that players can use to help with character development.
EVE-Central
EVE-Central tracks market information for items throughout the various regions in EVE. Players can even pull reports and sync applications with the site to pull any market data. Bear in mind that it relies solely on player submissions and may not always be accurate.
Grismar's EVE Wiki
Grismar's EVE Wiki is a very robust website that offers a variety of different tools that can be accessed using the in game browser. It features tools such as route planning, ore price tables, and build requirements.
Enildor's Eve Ore Calculator
Enildor's Eve Ore Caulculator displays various ore pricing based on current data pulled from EVE-Central. It also allows users to change the region to reflect pricing in their area and alter refining percentages based on their own character's abilities.
Ombey's 2d EVEMaps
Ombey's 2d EVEMaps provides a downloadable PDF that displays all the different systems within each region for easier navigation & route planning. As a bonus, the different systems include notes that indicate the stations available and the number of asteroid belts within that system.
Eve commander
Eve commander is a website that allows users to keep track of character information without the need for a download. Depending on the API key you provide, it can access basic character information, training queues, or even detailed wallet information. A great alternative if you away from home and not able to use or install any programs.
Mobile Phone Apps
Capsuleer
Capsuleer is a very robust application developed recently for the Apple iPhone. It allows players to view information such as character stats, skill training, and wallet balances on the go. They even added functionality to check server status and read news headlines from the EVE Online website. Its a very useful tool for iPhone owners who wish to keep track of their characters out of game.
EVE Mobile Skill Planner
EVE Mobile Skill Planner is a character tracking application developed for phones with Java capabilities. Similar to Capsuleer, it displays character stats, skill training completion, and wallet information. It will also allow you to add skill completion times to your mobile calendar. Although not as graphically pleasing as Capsuleer, it is a great alternative for players who would like to keep track of their characters on the go.
