Overview: Difference between revisions

Pilots should routinely review their overview set-up to make sure it's current, especially when Updates have been released. On occasion, new entities get added to the game and are placed in new overview categories and are thus invisible in all old overviews. Also, some updates and patches may bring other changes to how the Overview works.  

== Overview Shortcuts ==

You can interact with objects in the overview by right-clicking them and selecting the appropriate action. Alternatively, the object can be click-and-held in order to open the radial menu.

== Tagging ==

Note: By default, tags are not shown in the overview. If tags are going to be used it is recommended that the "tags" column be added to the overview. This is done in Overview Settings -> Columns.

=== Tagging Process  ===

The Tag option is only available while you are a member of a fleet and in a command role (i.e. FC, WC, or SC). If you are alone, you may simply form a fleet with yourself (your default role with be FC).  

== Using All Brackets  ==

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. (Brackets are the symbols (icons) you see when in space).  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 fleet mate 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.
