Use whichever method most suits your play style, however, many experienced Eve players find that using the third method is the quickest. When you have begun targeting something, you will hear a beeping sound, and a countdown timer around the object in space. Once the countdown timer has reached 0, the target has been locked, and you can fire on it, mine it, etc. | Use whichever method most suits your play style, however, many experienced Eve players find that using the third method is the quickest.

When you have locked a target, it will appear as a circular icon, by default just to the top-left of your overview. You can move the target icons anywhere on the screen by dragging the "target list anchor" icon (to the upper-right of the rightmost locked target icon). | |||
=== Multiple targets === | |||
You can lock several targets at once (up to the [[Targeting#Number_of_targets_locked|maximum defined by your skills and the ship you're flying]]), which will appear as a series of circles. Each target icon shows: | |||
* The target's shields, armor, and structure hit points (as a percentage; it's not possible to see the actual hit points in game) | |||
* The current distance between your ship and the target | |||
* If you have activated modules (e.g. weapons or [[EWAR|electronic warfare]] modules), these will show up as icons below the target. You can click these icons to deactive the module active on that particular target. | |||
If you have several targets, one will have rotating triangular icons around it. This is the "active target"; any modules you activate will be activated on that target. To change the active target, click on one of the other targets you have locked. | |||
