Overview: Difference between revisions

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.

The tag will remain assigned to the object until it is destroyed, you dock in a station, or enter a jump gate. This is useful for marking trigger ships during missions, marking trigger ships and kill order in wormhole sleeper sites, prioritizing PvP targets, or any other activity for which you may need to quickly identify specific objects for a fleet. Only fleet members in command positions can mark tags.  

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).  

A faster method to tag targets is to use the "tag item as" shortcut key. Note that all "tag item as" actions do not have a key bound to them by default. These shortcuts are in the "combat" section of shortcut 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. (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.  

Alternatively, you can create a tab preset that only includes bare minimum brackets and use that as the bracket preset.

Setting your own overview can be time-consuming and the overview has a large number of settings with which many players are not familiar. Details on the overview settings are found on [[Overview settings]] page.

Even if you use a pre-made overview pack, you will still need to set the overview presets for your overview tabs. You may have up to 8 active tabs of Overview presets. The presets you have active will depend on personal preference and the gameplay activities in which you participate.

Before you proceed : {{Color|wheat|It is highly recommended that you follow the guide to build your own overview pack because it will help you understand the various Overview settings, which space object falls into what category, and how the Overview in whole works.}}  

Overview packs are '''pre-built sets of overview profiles''' and, in most cases, include their own set of settings, such as bracket display and labeling. This allows players to quickly import several overview profiles at once. There are also many other features that can be included on overview packs in comparison to your basic overview; depending on each of the overview packs currently available in public, two of the common features most overview packs promote are:

There are also several other advantages of using or releasing overview packs. One aspect worth mentioning: some overview packs are designed with a number of careful considerations and standards applied. This is especially important with some corporations, big alliances, or coalitions. For instance, many of the overview packs may release "set X" profiles, which are used in important scenarios and, in turn, used by members of certain organizations; there is also the case of standardization across these profiles. While building your own overview can be good (or better on some cases), using the same overview pack across many players at once enables you to follow and issue commands or intel with the knowledge that the other person who listed or gave that intel has the same overview setup as yours.

'''''{{Co|yellow|IMPORTANT}}''''': If an overview is older than June 13th, 2023 ([https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-21-04 Patch notes]), it will be missing the new [[Dreadnoughts|Lancer Dreadnought]] from overview.  Can add manually under '''/open overview_settings''' | ''Filters'' | ''Types Shown'' | ''Ships'' | ''Lancer Dreadnought'' on all PvP tabs.
