=== Changing your safeties === | |||
Everyone in fleet should be familiar with how to change their settings, especially logistics pilots. Changing it is a simple matter of clicking the little dot next to your HUD-display and selecting the appropriate safety level. The default setting is enable safety (green) on a character who has never touched it and manually changing it means your new safety setting will persist until you decide to change it again. | Everyone in fleet should be familiar with how to change their settings, especially logistics pilots.

Your safeties should normally be set to '''enable safety''', which we call {{co|lightgreen|green}} safeties for short. That way you will not go suspect without getting a warning first. If need be, you could then set it to partial safety, which we call {{co|orange|yellow}} safeties for short. This would allow you to continue assisting people even if they are engaged with war targets, accidentally shot a fellow corporation member or had to go suspect | Your safeties should normally be set to '''enable safety''', which we call {{co|lightgreen|green}} safeties for short.

Legality and timers are also very important to have a good grasp on. Knowing what it means when you get the different timers is necessary so you can see when there's a potential problem. See [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Crimewatch Crimewatch] for more details on the more intricate mechanics of legal timers. | Legality and timers are also very important to have a good grasp on.
