There are a number of useful tools available to the capsuleer. While not exhaustive, this article does cover the major, currently developed, widely used third party tools for EVE players.

All In One Tools

While the tools in this section may not do everything the other tools do, they certainly aim to be comprehensive solutions for players, and cross multiple tool categories.

Tool Name Description Platform Notes
EVE HQ EveHQ is a fully open source application designed to be an all-in-one management tool for use with EVE Online. Players can download and even create their own plug-ins to help manage various information and aspects of the game. The core application itself displays basic pilot information, skill training, and statistics. On the site, they feature plug-ins already created to help develop your character, view item stats, and even plan routes on star maps. If you prefer to create your own, they have a development forum and page where you can download the source code. Although it is not as popular as EFT or EVEMon, it is definitely a great alternative for people who prefer an all-in-one package or wish to develop and customize their own programs. Windows
