Overview: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

In Eve Online, the overview is the only practical way to organize and view items in space. It is a customizable list of interactive items. It is one of the most important parts of Eve's interface, and will help you in PvP, missions, mining, traveling - practically every activity in Eve requires use of the overview. 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.

=== Newbies Tips ===

Hold down the '''Control''' key on your keyboard, and left click once with your mouse an item on your overview to lock it. Holding down the control key will also lock your overview in place, to prevent items from shuffling around based on the sorting order. This will help prevent you from locking the wrong targets by accident. When you are holding down the control key, all new items that appear on the overview will be added at the bottom of the list, and items that disappear from grid will be shown in a faded text. Releasing the control key will re-sort your overview automatically.

Double click an item on your overview to approach it.
