KisOver - Simple Overview packs for simple newbies [Updated Jun 2016]

I decided to make a quick and dirty overview pack for those who are super lazy or goons, using the in game client only. The Mailing list is called KisOver. When I update it, you'll get an eve mailing list mail, you click, done. Big smile

I'm interested wrote:
  1. Join the mailing list in game (Mail | Add Mailing List | KisOver). You will get a mail giving you the latest overview.
  2. Click the link to 'Kismeteer's Overview'. It will load 8 overviews with most of what you need.
  3. Get mails from the mailing list from time to time, letting you know of updates. Will be rare.

If a mailing list is too complicated, you can also pull it from my bio in game. Or, you can join my in game channel 'Kissist', which should allow you to talk to me if I'm logged in at the time.

The overviews:

  1. standard - Normal day to day stuff like ratting, travelling, etc. Adds on important stuff like probes and bubbles and jump bridges.
  2. pvp - Removes blues from overview, but not from seeing them in-space. Leaves on gates and other objects.
  3. pvpclear - Removes blues from in-space as well, along with gates and everything else. Best for chaotic pointing situations.
  4. drones - Shows you the drones, no other ships, allowing you to kill their drones or fighters.
  5. logi - Kill their dedicated logi ships. Note, this does not show t1 frig/cruisers, but does show FAX
  6. caps - Kill their capitals!
  7. wrecks - Shows wrecks, other cruft you might be interested in, and works even if 'standard' was setup to do something different. (was blues)
  8. escape - Shows you warp out spots, like moons, which are good for escaping. (was saver)

I have some screenshots to show what it looks like, along with more detail and my dog. Please let me know feedback in this thread in what you would like to see. I also have been running the Ubuntu eveo thread for the past few years as well, check it out if you're interested installing Linux. We have moved to a more general launcher though, so you shouldn't need it anymore.

Want something more complicated? SaraShawa-Overview chat channel in game has a more complete one, and I cannot recommend it enough. https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/3d67yq/sarashawa_overview_pack_v8_aegisfozziesov/

2015/09/30 - I'm most likely going to remove the different sov objects from a few places. And I'll be updating it in the coming days to accommodate the latest patch, give me feedback soon so I can update it! I promise a new version by Saturday-ish
2015/10/05 - Subscriptions: 720ish. Updating sov objects, renamed a few tabs, cleaned escape.
2016/06/17 - Subscriptions: 1650. Added 4 types of rats, added three more tabs, Added Kissist channel.

I'm doing some minor updates today:

So far:
Renamed travel to standard, blues to wrecks, and saver to escape. Call them with the overview is called.
Removed entosis items from a few overviews
Added drifters and generic supercarriers everywhere.
Majorly cleaned up the 'escape' tab, such as most NPCs. Why did I have them on there!
Removed a few things from pvp clear, so you have a clearer overview when dealing with sov items.

There will not need to be a new release for Parallax. I will also be putting the overview in my 'show info' as well, for those who don't want a constantly updating one.

I'm getting Blue POS guns present on the PVP Clear overview.
Not sure why - or is this intended?

I have updated KisOver to add the three new ship options: http://i.imgur.com/jx70ukx.png?1

KisOver update: Parallax 1.0 release
From: KisOver
Sent: 2015.12.08 15:33
To: KisOver,

Kismeteer's Overview (KisOver) is the latest, as of Parallax (2015/12/08) Ask in the in-game channel Little_bees for help with it.

Here is an imgur album of what they look like:

Let Kismeteer know of modifications you would like. (no donations, but testimonials are nice) I have to maintain this for myself, might as well maintain it for you guys too.

Have a new forum post to manage updates to this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=448932&find=unread give feed back there,

To make a SHIP SPECIFIC OVERVIEW: Use the Escape, uncheck the celestials like sun, planet, moon, belt, startgate, check the ship type(s), and on state table, Click middle 'filter out' button on 'good standing'. Save it with a new name, like Logistics.

2015/12/08 - Parallax release - Added three ship types ( http://i.imgur.com/jx70ukx.png ), removed Cargo Container from standard overview, made pvp clear more pvp clearish, renamed it, and requesting more feedback from players.

Thanks to a mail from LouHours, I went ahead and put color into my tabs. I wanted to keep it out but I guess I'm doing this from now on. If you go to my bio, you should see a link with the new colors, illustrated here:

Thanks to hanging out more in low sec, I realize that some people care about criminals and suspect timers. I put their order below people in your blue standing lists at least with the latest release.

I've been asked how to make a single ship overview:

1. Right click a tab and select the 'escape' overview as your active for that tab.
2. In your overview, right click planets moons and asteroid belts, and removing them from overview.
3. left click the four lines and click 'open overview settings'.
4. go to the 'tab presets | Types' settings and click on the ship you want, such as logistics.
6. (optional) Remove fleet friendlies by going to Tab Presets | States tab, and checking 'Filter out' on Pilot in your fleet. Or good standings and exellent standings too.
5. hit save, under a new name, like logistics.

Done.

For those worried about politics, I will continue to run this overview until I quit eve entirely. I assure you, you will get some notification if I plan to discontinue this overview pack.

Okay, released, despite people on saranen undock (understandably) not being sympathetic.

CCP put 8 overview tabs on Sisi https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/4n7k1k/eight_overview_tabs_on_sisi/ I'm interested to hear what other people will use theirs for. I would prefer to keep this somewhat serious in tone as I think the overview is the least developed and most important thing in the entire CCP UI.

I currently have:
  • standard - day to day stuff.
  • pvp - Shows only neutrals and worse, plus some standard stuff
  • pvpclear - Same as pvp but strips out space junk, easy tackling.
  • wrecks - Shows wrecks and cans and such.
  • escape - GTFO quick, shows dictors and hictors as well.

I'm considering adding, in order:
  • Drones - Show hostile drones to shoot at
  • Logi - Like PVP, but logi specific (easily switchable to other ship types)
  • Caps - For shooting/tackling all capitals.

I would appreciate any other ideas on this as well.

*PS. I'm joining BAT Country in PL, for those who keep asking me.*

Researched latest sisi overviews, here are my changes for the upcoming patch on June 28th, so far:
10 more entities - roaming serpentis 3, angel cartel 3, roaming angel cartel 3, ignoring event container

And here were the other changes they made that I don't need to do anything:
3 less celestials - flashpoints, satellite, orbital target
4 less deployables - mobile jump disruptor, mobile decoy unit, mobile vault, observatory structures
2 less drones - fighter drone, fighter bomber
1 less orbital - test orbital
7 less structures - industrial array, laboratory, drilling platform, observatory array, stargate, administration hub, advertisement center

I plan to rearrange the tabs a bit, as well as add three more tabs:
standard, pvp, pvp clear, drones, logi, caps, wrecks, escape

I'm debating using the pvp or pvp clear, which removes stations etc, for drones, logi, and caps overviews, what do you think?

edit: I started my own help channel, Kissist. Feel free to ask questions in there, I will try to help.

New version is released!

Please note, everyone needs to add the nine new rat types to their overview. These are under Overview settings, Tab presets, Entities, and are called 'Roaming Serpentis ...', 'Angel Cartel ...', and 'Roaming Angel Cartel ...'. Hit check boxes on all of these, and hit save at the top.

Or, just use my overview.

I have a new experimental version posted in my bio and in the Kissist channel with colors. I would love some feedback on it! This is hard for a colorblind person to 'test'.

BTW, I released a minor revision. CCP added new rats, I added them to the list, and sent out the mail again.

See you next time they add more events!

PS. color is now live.
