A while back there was a thread that provided snippets of information that helped many thousands of pilots. What was obviouse key for some was new information for others.
While most of the information can be found somewhere on the forums, it was helpfull having one thread with simple one liners of key information that may make somones day a bit better, and as a lot has changed since the original post I think there is information, updates, new changes that may have passed some by and they are just not aware of.
So to start us off:
- When in space, you can drag your central display (Capacitor, Shield, Armour, Structure) to the right or left to suit your preference. |

When using probes, you can alt- and shift-drag. Use alt to change the size of the formation and shift to move the formation. BEFORE CRUCIBLE EVE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL. After Crucible EVE didn't need cruise control. |

The onscreen location of your locked up targets can indeed be moved. You'll want to find a small, white indicator that can be dragged wherever the heck you want it to be. Your targets are anchored to it.
If anyone ever looks at you and says, "Hold my beer, watch this,"-á you're probably going to want to pay attention. |

If a target's angular velocity is greater than your equipped turret's tracking speed then surely you're going to miss.
As such, must have dislplayed columns in your overview for any turreted ship are: Range (can my guns reach out that far?) Velocity Angular velocity (can my guns keep up?) Radial velocity (is he moving towards or away from me?)

can I play? here are a few things I can think of which I'm not sure everyone knows of:
- "snapped" windows can be moved together by holding down shift
- there is a compare tool (news to some people :P), you open it from the variation tab in info windows. When it's open you can drag stuff to it.
- you can open many info windows (either by changing setting in ESC window or holding shift down while you click "show info")
- if you drag the solarsystem menu thingy (above your route) to any edit field, you create a link to your solarsystem
- there are shortcuts for almost all windows and combat commands
- you can add whole categories/groups from the market to the quickbar by right clicking them and select "add group to quicbar root/folder"
- when sending mail to your corp or alliance, you can write "corp" or "alliance" in the TO field and it will be converted to the name of the corp/alliance
- you can sort your mails by assigning them labels. Each mail can have many different labels.
- holding ctrl down freezes the overview
- you can display the session change timer
- you can drag stuff from your hangar to the ship/item button in the neocom and it will be moved to the hangar
- there are filters in the settings tab in the market window. There you can filter out orders, but also filter the list on the left hand side so it won't show you stuff you cannot use on your current ship or don't have the skills for
- the search field in the asset window has some clever advanced search functionality (was a devblog on it recently)
- you can group a few thing together in the necom (right click empty space in the neocom and go to "configure")
- you can import songs in the jukebox
- the calculator is awesome
- when in space, if you click something and hold the mouse down, you get some action panel
- you can zoom better in on things by holding down the right mouse button, move the mouse a little bit up or down, and then hold down the left mouse button (holding both down) and move the mouse up.

When picking your nose while in the midst of a battle, it's wise to allow your dog to lick your finger thus preventing the buggerization of your keyboard. Just wipe the dog slobber on your jeans.

After hitting the warp button a ship will warp once it reaches 3/4 of its maximum velocity. That is at the 3rd vertical line from the left on your speed indicator.
Want to warp fast? Make sure you are aligned to your destination at 3/4 of max. velocity and hit warp.
You can adjust cruise velocity by clicking on the speed indicator. |

If you click on the first name in local, then shift click on the last name in local all the names in local will become highlighted. Then when someone enters local you can instantly tell who it was as they are not highlighted.
( for scouts etc ) if you train up deep space probes you can enter new system, click warp to next gate and then drop one probe before your ship gets into warp. Set probe to 256au, click scan and in seconds you will have a list of all anoms, sigs, structures, drones and uncloaked ships in the system.
you can magically carry more m3 than your ships cargo size by using containers. 4 small containers take up 400 m3 space in your cargo but can fit 480 m3 into them. |

I had actully forgotten that this existed i probably haven't used it for more than three years!
my one:
There is no such thingas "passive align" when your ship is stationary it has no vector the graphical direction of your ship is an arbitrary direction chosen by your client. you can be pointing 180 from your destination and it will have zero effect on your time to warp unless your speed is greater than zero M/S. |

I wish people would stop saying this.
No, you do not have to be moving to launch a bomb successfully.
When bombs were first introduced they only had the velocity your ship imparted to them, this was changed.
Now, when you launch a bomb if fly's away from you for 30km and detonates (10 seconds after launch) regardless of your velocity.
Revenge should not stop at the ship!
It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto. |

Missile range is not absolute.
Your Missiles take time to accelerate taking off your range and if your target is moving your missiles have to catch up to them. If they are 100km and your Missiles can travel 80km if they travel 20km towards you they will hit, if they are 60km away and move 20km away from you the missile will run out of fuel.
This is not related to the current position of your ship, once the Missile is launched there is its start point and it will then accelerate towards the target the same regardless of what ship is doing. You do not have to hit a target to get credit for it, the simple act of hitting the launch button will incur aggro, and spot on the killmail.
Speaking of killmails BTW. if you hit a ship and warp off grid you still get on the kill mail as well as after your ship explodes. If you jump or dock though you loose credit.
Edit: Unaware if missiles and bombs will hit targets even if you warp off grid. Can someone clue me in. |

You cannot assign drones do different fixed-groups, and launch them with a launch shortcut to each of those groups. Rated ARG for Pirates. **** you. |

Never underestimate what a ship is capable of. Especially when being piloted by a very determined player. If the conditions are right and Lady Luck smiles on you; anything is possible. |

if you sell lots of stuff on the market, use the last two digits of your sell order's price to create a personal shortcut for you, so you can easily discern your orders from those of your competitors in the market window.
If you are can mining, change the name of the can to "Giant Secure Container". This cheap trick doesn't work always, but often enough -.- |
