Zaerlorth Maelkor The Maverick Navy Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.17 09:33:00 - [31] Originally by: Tressin Khiyne Holding down control and clicking items in overview causes lock (this took me close to four years to figure out for some reason) I though this WAS a completely new feature? ================================================== I should really get a sig.
Stitcher Caldari ForgeTech Industries	Posted - 2009.05.17 09:34:00 - [32] Edited by: Stitcher on 17/05/2009 09:34:39 The overview has the ability to show the movement of other ships relative to you in radians/second. If you're flying a gunboat, memorize the tracking speed of your guns and have this mode active and visible on your overview. EVE has sound Containers do two things: they increase the effective size of your cargo hold (in that a 3,000m3 container can carry 3,900 m3 of stuff), and they hide your cargo from scans. Very few people are prepared to suicide gank a ship they don't know the contents of. It's a Templar, an amarr fighter used by carriers. having a corp-mate in an intecerceptor along for the ride can massively shorten the travel time for big, slow ships like freighters or an orca: once the ship's moving in the right direction, the interceptor webs them, immediately getting them "up to speed" and ready to warp. be careful to avoid concordokken. Originally by: Zaerlorth Maelkor Originally by: Tressin Khiyne Holding down control and clicking items in overview causes lock (this took me close to four years to figure out for some reason) I though this WAS a completely new feature? nope, it's been in since at least early 2006, which is when I discovered it. - Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain.
Batolemaeus Caldari Free-Space-Ranger Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.05.17 10:06:00 - [33] Originally by: Troye Originally by: Batolemaeus Also, a surprising amount of pilots does not know, that while bubbles might drag you out, they won't drag you if you engage warp before the bubble is deployed. I thought that was fixed in one of the recent patches? Have you tried this out recently? Nope, this is still the case. Another one: If you aim for a cap stable setup for anything sub-bs, a combination of a capacitor battery and a cap recharger is more effective than two cap rechargers. You just need the grid to online the cap battery.. And yet another one: Never use a jumpbridge with your mwd activated. Mwds change your mass, so you will use up much more fuel than normal. And a final one: Amarr/Gallente ships work well with projectile weapons. Especially the punisher, myrmidon, prophecy, dominix, but even on unconventional ships (dual repper solo pvp abaddon with a full rack of 800mm ac anyone?) ---------------------------------------------- Originally by: CCP Prism X In New Eden, EVE wins you.

Danielle Evans	Posted - 2009.05.17 12:43:00 - [36] Originally by: Stitcher Containers à hide your cargo from scans. Containers do not hide contents from a cargo scanner. Unpackaged containers are effectively invisible.
Daedalus II	Posted - 2009.05.17 12:56:00 - [37] If you have a big bulky battleship with tracking weapons (not missiles) and rats orbiting too fast around you to track them, pick one of them and approach it(if you aren't webbed). Because rats react slowly, after a while they will realize they are not in optimal orbit range and will fly straight away from you until they get the right orbit again. This reduces their angular speed to you and is a perfect opportunity to kill them with a few volleys. Make sure to do it quickly though because after a few seconds they will have a too high angular speed again.
Blane Xero Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2009.05.17 13:03:00 - [38] When using warrior II's with good skills (drone nav iv/v), do NOT tell them to attack a webbed frigate (slower than 70m/s). They will hardly, if at all, hit it due to their orbit speed. It is much more effective for them to attack a fast moving ship, as this helps balance the transversal enough to the warriors. Never use the trade window, unless it is to your own alts. ___________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008 ^Third Times a Charm^
Ferdio Ricotez Gallente Killer Carebears United Interstellar Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.17 13:12:00 - [39] 1) You can 'repackage' most modules in order to make them stackable. 2) When you right-click in any cargo window, you get several options, including 'Stack all'. Use this in combination with hint 1 for better inventory management. 3) Keep your cargohold window open in a corner of your screen at all times, that way you'll have a greater chance of spotting early if you forgot to bring something with you. 4) Double-clicking on an empty spot in space will make your space ship flying in that direction. 5) Sometimes, the warp-in point for asteroid belts is pretty far from the actual asteroids. Bookmark an asteroid in this case. 6) When jetcan mining, bookmark your jetcan. That way you can return to it easily, and when you're done, you can just delete the bookmark. 7) You can come along on an L4-mission in a frigate, I have done that several times. It's a great way for an early player to make some cash with bounties and loot. Just make sure your fellow fleet mates take all the aggro, 'cause you won't last 10 seconds if they target you. And if you get targeted, get the hell out of there. 8) You can drag and drop the module icons on your HUD to organise them. However, this also changes their hotkeys. 9) Don't fall for scams. Think logically. Don't trust anyone unless you have a good reason or you can afford the loss. 10) Don't go into lowsec or nullsec with anything you can't afford to replace / don't want to lose. Also always check if your clone is up-to-date before you go into lowsec/nullsec. ----- Gallente flying Minmatar

Originally by: Zaerlorth Maelkor Originally by: Tressin Khiyne Holding down control and clicking items in overview causes lock (this took me close to four years to figure out for some reason) I though this WAS a completely new feature? The new feature is that CTRL now locks the overview, but ctrl+click to target.... man that is a really old one, it is so old that even dinosaurs used it.

21 Salvager Minmatar We are Alive	Posted - 2009.05.17 17:43:00 - [45] Originally by: Danielle Evans Originally by: Stitcher Containers à hide your cargo from scans. Containers do not hide contents from a cargo scanner. Unpackaged containers are effectively invisible. You can hide your cargo in an Orca's Corp Hangar, since the Corp Hangar doesn't appear on ship scans. Also, since containers do not hide the contents from a cargo scanner, you can make a small container with hundreds of bookmarks and small ammo in it to fill the scan results. Be gone before they dig through the list. And don't ever use Auto Pilot with expensive cargo. ----- I'm a collector! Want to trade? See my Collection List and contact me.
21 Salvager Minmatar We are Alive	Posted - 2009.05.17 17:48:00 - [46] For the noobs: Shift+Drag a stack of items to split it ----- I'm a collector! Want to trade? See my Collection List and contact me.
21 Salvager Minmatar We are Alive	Posted - 2009.05.17 18:04:00 - [47] Make a recycle bin: 0. Notice that many junk modules are worth more reprocessed into minerals instead of sold as a module. 1. In your main mission location, buy 2 Station Warehouses and label them "Reprocess Sorter" and "Ready to Reprocess". 2. As you mission, use your preferred method to decide which modules to keep/sell and which to reprocess. Some people reprocess everything but best-named, I made a spreadsheet with the modules' refined values and use that. As you identify them, place them in the Sorter can. 4. Stack All in the Sorter can, then view the can by icons. In future, go to the bottom of the list and then scroll up a notch, then dump everything into the can and Stack All. All the items that didn't match will still be at the bottom and you can move them out. Note that you can select many items by clicking on the first one, then Shift+Click on the last one. 5. Once a week, move all the items out of the Sorter can into the Ready can, then move one of each item type back to the Sorter can. 6. Haul your junk modules to market and then refine them to minerals and sell them (note that they a smaller as modules). If you don't have good standing at the station and the reprocess skills, ask a corp mate to refine for you. Use Sell Orders not quicksell. ----- I'm a collector! Want to trade?

Noelle Fay SniggWaffe	Posted - 2009.05.17 18:38:00 - [48] Originally by: Avalon Champion 3) If at war, in low/null sec watch local like a hawk. Now imagine if they had wars in highsec. Bummer! -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The secret to success, whether it's women or money, is knowing when to quit. I oughta know: I'm divorced and broke.

Atnar	Posted - 2009.05.17 19:16:00 - [50] Originally by: Tressin Khiyne There is a "filter by cpu and power" setting in the market that can help you fit that last module when you've already got everything you want. The filter doesn't really work for me. I have 1 high-slot left and I was thinking about using this to find a good weapon to fit in it using this. When I turned the filter on, it did remove some weapons from the list but it still showed weapons that went way over the remaining cpu/grid..

threeDspider Caldari Caldari and United Breweries The Firm.	Posted - 2009.05.17 22:40:00 - [54] Originally by: Zzzyxas WTF is this Crtl+E for drones/ Use F9 you fools This tbh. Also, if you're out in 0.0 with a JF / safe route to high sec, keep an eye out for bargain contracts. Can make a lot of good profit moving stuff back from whence it came.
Batolemaeus Caldari Free-Space-Ranger Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.05.18 13:39:00 - [55] Oh by the way: If you're sick of getting bumped on the jita 4-4 undock: When you undock, immediately engage warp to Jita IV - Moon 1. No need to align - it's an insta undock warp, and only a few 100k km. After you land, you can warp away in peace. ---------------------------------------------- Originally by: CCP Prism X In New Eden, EVE wins you.
baltec1 Antares Shipyards Hoodlums Associates	Posted - 2009.05.18 13:45:00 - [56] Always try that crazy new setup you thought about while taking a dump. Sure most will end up like the object in the bowl but some turn out to be so stupid they actualy work! Never ask baltec for advice on the forums, it attracts trolls.

Zaqar Pator Tech School	Posted - 2009.05.18 14:33:00 - [58] - Use the compare tool to compare stats of items. Variations tab > click 'Compare' button. (If you leave the tool open and click compare on a different type of item, all variations of the new item type will be added, like so.) - In space, dragging items from a container to the cargohold icon next to your cap readout will deposit the items to your cargo - If you want to join a new chat channel, you can just r-click the channels/mailing lists button and select 'add/remove'.
