Greetings!
Here in the content department we are working on what would be called ätip of the dayô or ätips and tricksô or similar. But we need some more content. Even though we have quite a wast knowledge between the people in the office, I think the best information is in the players. You!
Basically what we are looking for are one liners with information, which isnæt the most obvious ones but can help all players old and new. For example äCtrl + clicking on an object will target itô. This is something not all know and is extremely useful!
Some might know of this thread here by Akita T, and it is quite good for what it is, but I want to extend this to all players, and see if others can provide as good of a list as Akita does! (I also want to say kudos to Akita for his post, as it is excellent!)
Guidelines;
Has to be a simple fact, one line no long winded text! Has to be related to in-game operations, shortcuts and such A "Must know!" type is an excellent candidate Can be quite noobish as this is for all players, especially new
If you think you have one or two, then reply to the thread with it and it might end up in the game!

Drones attack the first thing you shoot, or that shoots you. Most of the time.

Control + Tab will remove all of the User Interface from the screen (press again to get back). Makes screen shots look much better.
By right clicking on the little > on the lower left side of your module read out (in space) you can get a little menu that has options to:
Hide passive modules (Good if you are always clicking the wrong one)
Get a read out on your current Shields / Armour / Structure either in absolute amounts (i.e. the number value) or percentage
Lock modules in place (so that you don't accidentally move them around with mad clicking)
Lock the overload status (so that you don't accidentally start to overload your modules)
Thats all I can think of for now

1. Prepare all guns for shooting, by activating the modules you want to use when no target is selected. Move the cross-hairs and click something untargetable, like yourself or a planet. Notice that your modules are now blinking, but no cross-hairs are shown. The next time you target something the blinking modules will activate on that target.
2. Start flying ("Align") towards something in space by double clicking just around the object.
3. Want to be pointing towards something without moving towards it? Start flying towards it and set your speed to 0.1m/s, this way your ship won't return to being horizontal.
4. Want to stop your ship from warping or moving? Hold Control and bash Space-bar!
5. Select the number of "auto-target-back" by pressing ESC and look at the generic tab. - - - - - - Change just leads to more problems

You don't even need to press CTRL afaik. Just press the RMB then hold it and press the LMB, and then continue holding both of them and move your mouse around to zoom. It can get stuck like that though, which requires a session change to fix.

Type in a system name into any chat window and highlight it, right click > auto link > solar system. You can then either post it up for fellow corpies, or right click it yourself and 'set destination'.
Handy in gangs.

Edited by: Dr Grot on 12/10/2007 12:45:55 MWD while cloaked: Hitting you MWD/AB before you cloak will negate some of the speed penalty for a full cycle.
Ideal for getting away from that incomming Intercepter trying to bump and decloak you
Other mods will finish one cycle before deactivating too. Ninja jamming/ dampening etc

- An activated Microwarpdrive increases the fuel consumption of a jump bridge array.
- Nanofiber Internal Structures reduce the fuel amount needed for jump bridges.
- While near a Ship Maintenance Array you can move drones to your drone bay by right-clicking them in your cargo hold.
- Replying to a corporate or alliance mail creates a new public corporate or alliance mail, not a private mail to the sender. (This happens so often...)
- Ore in your ship's cargo hold has the option "Move to hangar and refine" on the right-click menu when docked.
- "Refine" and "Reprocess" recycle only ore or items, respectively.
- You can drag & drop the system name in the top-left to chat and automatically create a chat link.
Bet I will find a few more...
Btw Fear, your link has one "http//" too much.

Alignment: Point your ship to an object like a star gate or planet while in missions, set you speed to at least 3/4. Warp Drive will engage instanly when it's needed.
This is also good practise in long range pvp situations.

From answering the same questions over and over in the RIN (noob) Corp channel:
1) No, you can't shoot someone in a 0.5, or above, security system without getting killed by CONCORD just because they have a little skull beside them in overview.
2) Orange is NOT red, please ensure you can tell one from the other in Overview.
3) To give someone ISK: find them in 'People and Places', right click and use "Give Money" - this doesn't work if you are on a trial account! Yes, it does work to pass money to your alt .... if you're not on a trial account!
4) If getting that 1 billion ISK bounty was easy and/or advisable it wouldn't be there for you to ask about
5) EVE is complicated - DTFT! (Do The F***ing Tutorial)
6) No, really, do the tutorial!
7) Begging works best if you are either entertaining or look like you are making an effort
8) ISK sellers should be blocked and petitioned - whining at/ about them just adds more spam to the channel

Fit guns, missiles to your ship and load them with ammo before you calculate the range and damage output.
This goes for most modules, fit them to your ship before you view the information as to thier effects

When beginning an autopilot flight, begin warping towards the first gate before engaging autopilot. This will save a little time, especially if you're flying a hauler.
When flying manually, click on the gate as you're warping towards it. That way all you have to do is hit the jump button when arriving at the gate. This especially useful if you're in low-sec. (Not that getting ganked on approach is that likely.)

You can organize drones into groups, and such a group can be controlled as a whole like a single drone. Just right click on a drone in your overview to move it into a group.
Use this to separate your logistics drones from your offensive drones and stop the logistic drones causing you trouble with CONCORD as they "engage" outlaws.
