I've been messing around with my overview settings for quite a while and I tend to run into the same issue(s) over and over again. When setting "states" like War, Terrible, Bad, and Neutral it seems to only work part of the time. For example a whole system can be only Alliance members but yet the Local shows Neutral and when I click the portraits the true standings show up on their profile but not on local. What gets me is that they are "Blue", show neutral in local chat, but when I am on grid with them they do not show up on the overview. I am totally confused and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Oh another thing my drones show up neutral as well but when I open my Drone overview they don't show on the Overview, like I said just confused and again any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I don't always bring out my Absolution.

But when I do it makes the Blue's rage, lol.

Ive had a similar bug when looking at the guest list in stations. People I know are blue have been showing up as neutrals on occasion. I have not encountered this while in space though. Its probably not your overview settings but rather a bug.

I used to have a clever sig but I lost it.

Have you included "pilot has no standing" ?

I follow the eve uni overview setup guide whenever I set mine up and it has never let me down.

It sounds like your problem is mostly tied to the way you have states and color tags prioritized. Check your overview settings and make sure they are in the correct (and same) order.

Keep in mind the way the "States" work, is not that you check off what you want to see, you Uncheck what you Dont want to see. If you have "pilot is neutral/no standing" unchecked you will never see a neutral on your overview, even if they're an "outlaw" and you have that checked, or what have you. If a player meets any of the conditions you have unchecked, they are removed from your overview.

You have to prioritize them as stated above. You raise the important ones above the less important ones.

Watch my Overview Setup Video to learn how to do it:

It will explain why you need to move blues above criminals and all that good stuff.
