Hi there I have been playing for a few weeks now and am starting to find my way around. I have a few questions that I thought you knowledgeable people might be able to help with
1. How Do I stop the interface from freezing for a second or so every so often?? Its really annoying!
2. I have seen travel advisories on some jump gates, what are they? They don't seem to make any difference to me traveling through them
3. In several guides I have been advised to train refining if I am going to mine. Whats so great about it? I don't see any significant benefit unless I want to use the minerals. At the moment I can make a much better profit selling the ore.
4. Why do some people appear orange in the overview? Why do some have skulls on them? What do the other symbols mean?
5. How do I add types to the overview window without having one of them in the locality to r-click on?
Many thanks in advance.

No sure on this one, you would need to be a bit more specific on what you are doing when this happens. Originally by: Wilfred Black 2. I have seen travel advisories on some jump gates, what are they? They don't seem to make any difference to me traveling through them
Sometimes it will indicate that systems in a the same physical server as another busy system, so you might get more lag than normal going through that system. Often it does not mean anything useful.

If you are happy with the profits made by selling raw ore, then just do that and don't worry about refining. In order to see any profits in refining you will need to get your efficiency close to 100%. It is up to you how you want to earn your ISK. Guides are just that: guides. Originally by: Wilfred Black 4. Why do some people appear orange in the overview? Why do some have skulls on them? What do the other symbols mean?
Orange means that the person has a negitive security rating, but is not yet criminal. The skull indicates that the person has a bounty, but does not mean that you are free to collect that bount outside of the normal rules of engagement. You can see/change the colors and icons displayed in your overview settings. Originally by: Wilfred Black 5.

This is also found in your overview settings. Click on the white triangle at the top of your overview and choose the Overview Settings option. From here you can configure several presets of filters for different activities. I personally have two for mission running (with and without Large Collidable Objects) and another for Travel (with just Stargates). Different configuration are more useful for PvP Combat (bad guys only) and Logistics (good guys only).

without more specific it could be your graphic setting that are a bit too high, lag or operations that are handled differently with trinity patch and is not streamlined yet.

- they were an attempt to identify nodes that were having problems with lag, but it doesn't work well in practice.

- If Tritanium costs 3.50 then Veldspar at 0% waste is worth 10.50. I can buy Veldspar cheaper than that so I do, and for you it's cheaper to sell to me. That's a win/win situation, until you train those skills and can make it worth my while buying the mineral, not the ore.

- right click on the little Overview arrow to bring up Overview Settings. That has the info you need and you can save settings, eg one for mining, another for ratting.

Its not related to any specific action it happens both in stations and in space, the whole interface freezes for a second or so then carries on as before. The graphics are not jerky or anything normally. According to Windows Task Manager the Evefile.exe binary maxes out CPU during this time.
Thanks for all the other answers they have been very helpful.

Yes it is. Especially when you are attacked by three pirates st once. I had this problem and it came from Norton Antivirus running active in the background.

Mendez--If you are running the new graphics try updating your video card drivers.
I'm running a 6600GT with the new graphics and at first everytime I would undock I would crash to desktop with that type of error.
A quick new driver download from Nvidia cured my problems.
New driver version: 6.14.11.6375
