Not a shortcut but I just learned that EVE has subscription mail.
You can actually subscribe to an in game player created channel and get email updates!

Concord LP can be converted to ANY other corp LP except pirate factions. There is an exchange rate however if you do. SOE rate is 0.4 while other corps are 0.8 per every Concord LP

Faction Warfare LP stores give great discounts for faction gear and ships.

You can change your overview to show people as all sorts of silly colors. Just goto the Appearance tab and right click the entry you wanna change. You can toggle their flashing state too.

Not this **** again.
There already is a thread like this.

Two, actually !


Why in hell do you have to be so ignorant ??
Are you unable to use google or a forum search ??
Do you *really* believe NOBODY ever came up with that idea before ?

The mwd to warp actually increases your ships mass. So it actually takes longer to get to warp.


Mass I dunno, but from experience MWD + warping an orca vs no prop mod Apocalypse, Orca leaves the gate in less time than the apoc. ~10 seconds or so.

Despite my posting prowess I really am terrible at this game

You can separate out bookmark folders into their own mini window by right clicking them, saving you the hassle of the bloated people and places window.

You can import and export settings from/to tools such as EFT.

You can drag saved fittings into the market quick bar, making buying a fitting with way less tedious.

I can't guarantee that that works on an incline though, due to the tendency of ships to "level out" in EVE.


So still best to maintain very low speed if there's a risk of leveling out putting you out of align if you stop.

Exactly 10 seconds, actually, since that's the cycle time of the MWD. Blink

You can reorder your locked targets by dragging them around. For example a logistics pilot might always want to have the FC in the first slot.


And you can reorder the names in your watchlist as well. Oh, the pains of removing and adding fleetmembers I went through until I found that one out...

And while we are at it: Executing commands via the announcements in the fleet window instead of going through the overview to find the name of the primary. (Also tagging things in the overview with numbers and letters).

Finally, once an FC did align the whole fleet or something similar (still not sure just how that works).
Until then I thought FCs could only just warp the fleet.

There is a "regroup" command which makes every ship in the fleet approach the FC. It's possible that the FC burned ahead of the fleet and used this.

That must have been it, thanks (still an awesome - and apparently quite obscure since I don´t recall ever reading about it in the usual fleet guides - function).

I swear I rediscover that this function exists once a year it's so damn hidden and/or unassuming.
