~~EVE~~ isn’t a very system-intensive game, and people ~~often~~ have computers that can easily handle the game on max settings.

Eve isn’t a very system-intensive game, and some people have computers that can easily handle the game on max settings. If your system can handle it, you can select '''show all brackets''' in the overview options for each tab. This will let you see friendly and hostile ship brackets on the field as well as neutrals and drones. Having all brackets turned on can help you identify an on-grid fleetmate to use as a warp-in. Many players fly with all brackets turned on, and it is recommended to do so if your system can handle it. Zooming out the camera with all brackets turned on will give you a good view of what's happening on the battlefield.

~~In the past~~, ~~using~~ all brackets ~~wasn’t recommended because of~~ the ~~lag it created when large fleets were~~ on the field. ~~However, after~~ a ~~couple of years playing EVE~~, ~~I think~~ the ~~benefits of having~~ all brackets on ~~far outweigh~~ the ~~drawbacks~~.

To turn on all brackets, press '''Option + Z'''.

So why would you have all brackets on? Well, simply so you can see everything that’s going on around you. Using the overview settings I’ve detailed above, you probably won’t be able to see if someone warps off toward an asteroid belt or a moon. With all brackets on, you will.

~~Also, you’ll be able to see fleetmates in space. This is especially useful for working out where you are in relation to fleet. It can also make identifying an on-grid warp-in fleetmate easier.~~

For me, it’s gotten to the point where I’m always zoomed out with all brackets on so I can get a really good idea of what’s happening on the battlefield. I only zoom in when I need to do some fancy manual flying.
