EVE General Discussion

Setting the drones engage hotkey to ` (accent mark next to the '1' key at the top left) makes it very easy and fluid for you to press F1 and ` at the same time for full damage potential.

On Eve Gate, If you've added some dude as a contact, and they also have you added as a contact, with the default settings in Eve Gate both of you will each be able to see ALL of each others contacts.

Not a problem if it's a chill and trusted bro that you just added, but if it's just some dude that you don't really know and if you don't want him sniffing around and looking at you contact list then;

Eve-Gate > Profile Settings > set both drop down menu's to "no piliots" and wahla.

Group chats with local, corp, and alliance to make them "uncloseable". Grouping them with these chats makes them only minimizable.

When using dscan click on your ship to make a small solid square bracket appear on it. Aim your dscan at celestials through that bracket. It is the key to being able to pull off 15 degree scans and nail down that someone is at a specific belt or moon.

If you want to have the number of people in local you can keep local off to a separate window and then double click the window at the top. This puts it into a pseudo minmized mode that maintains the channel name and number of people in it as if in the full window. Double click again to restore. This can be done with a lot of other windows as well.

A lot of windows have a '?' button at the top that opens a quick access list of items and link to evelopieda articles and such on how to do things within that window, for instance the Science and Industry window would feature stuff on how to manufacture.

Since Crucible, fleets can have a MOTD, so set one with info about what to bring and what system they need to goto so that they can see it as soon as they join.

Fleet leaders and the boss can view "Fleet Composition" to see which ships, what system, and how much skill each member has in the 3 main fleet skills (Leadership, Wing Command, and Fleet Command)

Double clicking a planet int he list of planets in the S&I window will automatically open it up into planet view for you. (Allowing you the ability to skip the right click and selecting view in planet mode)

You can set any "Warp to" distance by right clicking the button and typing in a number in meters. This can let you warp in exactly at optimal instead of kinda close.

The Thukker Tribe Large Shield Extender has almsot a good stats as the Republic Fleet one but can be purchased from the LP store for just LP, ISK, and a T1 version, whereas the RF one requires amarr tags and iirc is for the militia LP only. If you have some spare CONCORD LP try covert it over to thukker mix and getting yourself some low sig LSEs =D

Don't be that guy.
Just don't.

It's the best tip you can ever get.

When posting in forums try not to regurgitate old material easily found elsewhere.

One of your biggest hurdles as a newbie is choice paralysis. If you can't decide what you want to do, say f*** it and pick one, try it and see if it's fun, then try another if it's not. Don't spend forever finding the perfect answer.

And how do you transfer LP's??

Also: at anytime you can right-click a character in local and select BLOCK to hide all future chat messages. Using with gusto works wonders in Jita.

I hope this is a recent change otherwise I'm going to be annoyed with myself.

If you are a corp CEO or director, read up about creating Titles which act as pre-defined sets of roles. Then make sure that you only ever use title to assign roles, it makes life soo much easier.

You may have to bludgeon your directors into using them and not clicking random things though. ;)

be annoyed.... this has been that way in the "new" EVE mail system since day one

Only CONCORD LP is transferable and it has a less than a 1:1 exchange rate.

But if you incursion a lot it shouldn't be much of an issue to you.
