EVE New Citizens Q&A

(X-Post from General Discussion, oriented towards new pilots)
The overview is the single most important part of the UI for knowing what's in space nearby. The default Overview setup leaves a lot to be desired. So we made the Zirio-Syundai Special™ Overview to fix that. I do highly recommend taking a look at EVE University's Overview Guide, though some of the information is outdated, to familiarize yourself with how you can make your own changes to the Overview. But for a ready-made Overview you don't have to mess with, here's how to get the Zirio-Syundai Overview:

Option 1

1. In-game, open the Channels window from the Neocom menu on the left of the screen.
2. Type Z-S Overview in the search field and click "Join."
3. Scroll up and follow the instructions at top to reset your overview.
4. Click on Z-S vx.xx.xxxx Core (where the x's are the current version) to load the first part of the overview presets. This is the only pack you need to click on as a new pilot. You can always come back to load more packs if you need them in the future. If you're in space, you'll notice the large tab in the overview with instructions to Apply a Layout to finish.
5. Click on the Z-S vx.xx.xxxx Standard 2-SBL layout (recommended) to set up the Overview Tabs and Ship Brackets.

Option 2

1. In-game, open Mail and click "Add Mailing List" at the bottom left of the window.
2. Type Z-S Overview and click "Join."
3. Follow the instructions in the mail to reset your overview.
4. Same as Option 1
5. Same as Option 1

The chat channel will often have someone willing to provide help if needed. The mailing list will send all future updates to the pack directly to your mail inbox. Now get out there and fly safe with your newly improved situational awareness!
