I have a tiny display, 1280 x 800, and I was okay until someone in my corporation gave me a link for overview changes and told me how big I must have it be. I want to full optimise my UI so that I can use it efficiently but with this tiny display I don't know how. Any suggestions? Ugh

I did resized entire UI. In game press ESC, find video tab you can reduce your current UI display to 90% scale. Helped me a lot

Yes I have tried that, it did help but still, not that big of a difference.

I wonder to which point are the overview stats important, I can go up to Alliance without clogging up my screen, are the velocities important? Or anything else after that?

That I can't tell, cos I run a solo corp for tax avoidance only, also new player (6 months) and no much experience on alliance things

If you plan to do ship on ship combat in any form, knowing the velocity / ship type / player name is essential.

Some of the other stats you can compromise on, but if you plan to really become "good" you will probably have to have them.

How did you Veterans start?

UHHH.... divide it into 4 sections, "space", overview, chat, ship ui (show only active mods)

it's gonna be super crammed, overview showing 10 items, chat box full of tabs instead separate windows, modules limited to 12-15 active (not that it matters as most fits don't have more than 10, but visually it's better to have groups instead of random mods in a row)

Possible to play but I'd not use it for anything more than boxing an industry alt. Consider getting an external screen if that's a laptop, some older HD capable stuff is floating for 10 bucks (or for free if you pick it up personally).

Id just get a bigger screen, you can get 24inch screens (i have two 24inch screens) for pretty cheap floating around the place, if not then steal the TV from your loundroom (if you have one, if not move your computer into your parents living room with a 40inch screen XD, or atleast thats what i used to do before i got larger screens)
