Felix riggs (talk | contribs) I have copied over all the text from the PDF guide as-is. There is a lot of room for improvement and beautification (like the screenshots) but this will do for now. Now it works in the IGB! |

Setting up your overview is compulsory for uni fleets. People will get angry at you if you don't have your overview set up properly. Your overview presets are your eyes in EVE. Playing the game without setting them up properly is like not wearing glasses. You don't need glasses, you say? Trust me, everyone wears glasses in EVE. Knowledge is power. Even if you think you know it all, you don't. | Setting up your overview is compulsory for uni fleets. People will get angry at you if you don't have your overview set up properly.

===What is the overview?=== | ===What is the overview?=== | ||
In EVE Online, the overview is the only practical way to organise and view stuff. It is a powerful, (almost) fully customisable list of interactive items. It is EVE’s interface, and will help you in PvP, running missions, mining, travelling - practically every activity in EVE requires use of the interface. It is vitally important that you set up your overview in a way that is not confusing, and will allow you to easily see whatever you want to see at any given time. The consequences of not setting up your overview properly could range from not being able to see a war target and subsequently getting destroyed, to firing on your own ally because he appeared as a hostile, to being destroyed by NPC pirates that didn’t even show up on your screen. | In EVE Online, the overview is the only practical way to organise and view stuff.
