As you might have noticed, EVE has quite a few different ship types. Getting all (or at least a big number) of them into one's head is therefore quite some work.
I decided to make life easier for myself by creating a set of flashcards. Those worked well in school and university, so why not for EVE as well?. I'm using the software Anki (ankisrs.net) for this purpose. This software is available for the major desktop and mobile operating systems.
I have decided to share these flashcards. You can find them here: Google Drive. Just download the card deck and import it into Anki.
This is just a first version, so there might be errors or room for further improvements. I might also add more info later on, like a ship's typical roles, tank and engagement distance (brawler, kiter, sniper).
If you find an error, have an idea for improvement, or just find the cards useful, I'd like to hear from you . |

I have just uploaded a new release that fixes a few issues.
Unfortunately the new release cannot be imported into a card deck that is using the old version; the import would just create new cards instead of updating the old ones. This is due to a change that I made to make updating more robust in the future.
This means that before importing the new version, you'll either have to create a new Anki profile for that, or you have to delete the old cards. In future releases this will not be necessary; instead you'll be able to update.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I thought I'd better do this early on instead of later. |

Barbara Nichole wrote:kind of cool idea.. you could make an actually deck of playing cards out of them. or you could even do silhouettes on one side to study the way WWII navy and airforce used to so they could identify specific ships quickly. Yeah, the possibilities are endless Once you have the data in some machine readable format, it's not difficult to get it into Anki. There you can format it in many ways; the layout of the cards is defined in HTML. |

If you hosted finished picture or something like Rain6637 did, then I would definitely scroll through them. ...
I've built it this way because the application I'm using (Anki) handles things like repetition for you. So if you learn a new card, then it will come up again after a short period. If you then still know it, the interval gets a bit bigger; if not, the interval gets shorter. And so on. So it tries to help you learn stuff as efficiently as possible.
However, if it's useful to have these cards in some other format, please describe the use case in a bit more detail. I already have the data, so to transform it into some other representation might not be too difficult. But I need to understand the use case first

Not yet. But I plan to add some addtional info step by step. But that will happen slowly, as I can't just extract this from the database. The first step will probably be adding a ship's typical role, e.g. EWAR, logi, sniper etc.

If someone suggests me a good web-based flashcards application, that also has companion apps for at least Android and iOS, then I'm willing to look into supporting it. A prerequisite is that there's some kind of API to create cards in batch. And it has to be free to use. |

I have just released a bug-fix release (version 1.0.2).
This version fixes the "meta group" field that was incorrect for some ships.
You can download the new version here: Downloads Please have a look at the Release Notes; they contain update instructions.
If any problems come up when updating, feel free to either post here or contact me in game. If it works smoothly, I'd also like to know |
