Ships & Modules

There is not currently a way to import prices :(. That's fairly impractical to do so given they change so frequently. I assume you're in a situation in which you use pyfa both in and out of a controlled network (eg home vs work). There are three options at the moment:

1) Run a VPN
2) Set up a proxy (which pyfa supports in the preferences)
3) (easiest solution) Set up a central user database file utilizing Dropbox/Sync/OneDrive/GoogleDrive/etc or some other file sync functionality that is available from both home and controlled network. That way, you'll have the same data from the controlled network that you do at home, you just won't be able to update prices while on the controlled network (but prices will update when using pyfa from home). See https://github.com/pyfa-org/Pyfa/wiki/Cross-Platform-Data-Sharing for more information on how to set this up.
4) It seems you're okay with hauling files around to do periodic imports. If that's the case, you can simply cart your saveddata.db file around on a USB flash drive and use that as your source of information where ever you may be (that file contains all fitting data as well as the price cache)

If you have an example of a price export file of some sort that you have, let me know where you get it - it's possible we can implement a quick price importer / exporter in the preferences or something. But check out if the above suggestions would work for you. :)

There's align time under misc stats.

Love PYFA btw. Find myself playing with it more than playing the game sometimes. Anyways, I know CCP "fixed" the "Unscannable" ship issue a while back, but I am trying to figure out the math behind making a ship as difficult as possible to scan down; not unlike to old Blue Ice T3 Off-grid Booster video talks about. Anyway, I noticed that when I use Blue Ice's fits/techniques the sensor strength goes up in relation to the signature, and hovering over the signature gives a "probe size". The best that I can achieve is Probe Size 1.080. I am assuming <1.0 would be "unscannable", but what does this 1.080 mean? What skill level, implants, equipment, ship type would be required to scan down a ship with a 1.080 Probe Size? What is the math behind this? Apologies if this has been explained before. If it has, please feel free to just point me to the link. Best Regards and keep up the good work!

Yes, probe size is capped at 1.08 - this is a value that has been the community standard for quite a while. CCP does enforce some sort of cap so that a ship cannot be unscannable, but I don't know if this value has ever been confirmed by CCP itself, or if it's just the value that has been assumed via years of experimentation. See https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1571603 for a bit more information.

In order to scan down a 1.08, you would require a fully decked out probing ship along with a Virtue set (if I'm not mistaken). So it takes a bit of commitment to do so.

Hope that helps :)



I don't think this is quite right, think you're looking at signature radius. Probe size is calculated via sigRad / sensorStr, and can indeed achieve 1.08 probe size (capped) :)

From the link:



Thanks for the link and the discussion. It's very encouraging. The key to getting to 1.08 Probe Size in PYFA on your Signature/Sensor Strength (for Caldari ships) is, using Gravemetric Sensor Compensation skill, dual Sensor Boosters running ECCM scripts in the mids and a Signal Amplifier in the lows. Also, running an AB vs a MWD (obvious) for prop mod. Shield mods and rigs increase signature, so paying attention to this is important too. Any lack of Sensor Strength can be augmented with Low-grade Talons. My interest mainly stems from wanting to run Expeditions in LoSec while minimizing ambush risk. To that end I was working with the Tengu and the Rook. These are not "cheap ships", so I am doing my homework. PYFA has been very helpful.

Sable, again Thanks.

add fuel in "ammunition & charges"
yes please <3 ♥

n1 as always!
great dev!

Hello. Thank you so much for maintaining this amazing tool. I don't know if the EVE Community could function without it.

My installation seems to have encountered some problem. My "All 5" clone doesn't have all 5's. It's missing advanced weapon upgrades completely, and weapon upgrades is capped at 4. All of the buttons to edit or fix it are disabled. Can anything be done short of making my own "All 5 Copy"?

I have noticed this problem before but with the recent version it seems to persist.

Adding [size] Inverted Signal Field Projector to a ship's rigs does affect the reported value in the Remote Sensor Dampener. However, the increased strength of the dampeners is not calculated when projecting the ship's dampeners on something else.

For instance:

[Maulus, Maulus - No Tank MWD 3  Damps Standard]

Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Capacitor Power Relay II
Signal Amplifier II

5MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive
Remote Sensor Dampener II, Targeting Range Dampening Script
Remote Sensor Dampener II, Targeting Range Dampening Script
Remote Sensor Dampener II, Targeting Range Dampening Script

200mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma S
200mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Phased Plasma S

Small Particle Dispersion Projector I
Small Particle Dispersion Projector I
Small Inverted Signal Field Projector I


Acolyte II x4

With all V skills, the damps with and without the Inverted rig are 52.6 versus 55.2 strength. But if you project that fit onto another ship, and enable/disable the Inverted rig (to see how much the affected target's targeting range changes as a function of the rig), nothing changes.

Also when can I have values reported for modules (CCC rigs, batteries, CPRs, CFCs, CRs....) for how much positive value they contribute to the cap recharge rate...you have it for cap boosters and NOSs, but not other modules XD

I love the notes function. I make rabid use of it. :)

I've found a possible bug in pyfa or maybe a game change I am ignorant of. I have a Kestrll fit that requires 59.4 pwr grid. I can fit it with 1 small ancillary current router I in EFT and all skills at V. In Pyfa the ship has the same base 45 pwr grid. the rig raises that by 10% but skills do not affect it. In EFT the grid is raised by 11.25 to 56.25 by setting the skills to all V. Adding the rig raises it 5.63 to 61.88 which makes my fit work. Is this a pyfa bug or has there been a game change that skills no longer affect pwr grid?
