Hi guys
New player to EvE but have played a few MMO's over the years. Have been doing the usual reading on EvE University etc and have a good basic knowledge of whats going on.
I have decided that I would like to get into the combat things a little more but am struggling with the Overview.
My setup at the moment is a few tabs for Mining, Objects and Ships which show me Ore, Objects and Ships respectively. I looked into more of the settings like colouring but couldnt wrap my head around it.
Now, I know that there are vastly more experienced players than me and so would have had my same issues. So rather than spend hours reading over and trailing what has already been done I can make use of a pack or someone elses setup (provided they publicly made it available).
Reading the new player stickiest it seems alot of the threads are old and locked and therefore I assume no longer maintained and likely displaying old info (old patches).
Lots of sites / users mention Sarah's Overview Pack. http://forums.ponywaffe.org/topic/1697-sarahs-overview-pack%E2%84%A2-rel-031/
Looking at the forum it again seems pretty old but could be a case of "Its not broken, so no need to fix". I am at work :) at the moment and cannot check if it still works but what are peoples thoughts on it? Will it be "new player" beneficial?
What I would really like to see (if it can be done) is indicate who is hostile and who I should be worried about, maybe a target priority?
Reading the post from https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=90333 this pack shows that;
RED : You SHOULD shoot them everywhere as they will be or already are shooting at you. ORANGE : You CAN shoot them everywhere, but expect to be shot in return. YELLOW : DO NOT SHOOT THEM IN HIGHSEC OR CONCORD WILL KILL YOU. Expect sentry gun agression when you shoot them in lowsec. Kill them if you can tough.
Which seems cool but the URL is broken, assume old, no longer maintained etc. Does Sarah's do something similar?
Im also open to more recent packs there are available.
Feel free to tell me I should design my own etc, im just dipping my toe before I jump in.
Sorry for the wall of text too.
Thanks Duck |

I have used that overview pack in the past. It is fine but you still need to be able to sort it out a bit yourself. Nothing is worse than dieing because your overview was borked. Ok perhaps forgetting your in lowsec is worse. But only a little. These days i roll my own. It takes a bit of time however.
As for getting into PvP. You really should do it with people who can help a bit. Both with fits, and how to fly. Either find a corp that is good at helping or join any of the public fleets, Spectre Fleet, Redemption Road and RvB Ganked (I am biased to Spectre Fleet). They are all new pilot friendly and most people in channel will help out as much as its possible. Death and Glory!
Well fun is also good. |
