<h3> Organizing your screen layout </h3>

Before you even touch the ~~overlay~~ itself, however, you should organize the rest of your interface. Eve is a game of communication and numbers - your screen layout should reﬂect this.

<ol><li>Undock and ﬁnd a safe place to sit. You will be sitting out in space for around half an hour. The POS in Aldrat is a good place to do this - ask another player in corp chat if you don’t know where it is. Alternatively, do this on an alternate character on the same account. The changes will carry across to all characters on that account on the same computer. This is required for characters in E-UNI during wartime.

You can also set up the overview settings without undocking from station, if you set up a shortcut key to access the overview, as shown here:

You may need to reposition and resize the fleet window during fleet ops; sometimes you need it small and out of the way, other times you need to expand it to find pilots in the list.

</li><li>Make your overview nice and big - it is your main source of information. You could have it running from top to bottom on the right side of my screen, with Selected Item window just above it, and the Drone Bay window just below it.
