Hey all!
I just wanted to pass along a tip on one way to set up your Overview window. I have several different settings for my Overview depending on what I am doing. I have one marked "Mining" that has only ore and ships listed so I can find specific ore and I know when pirates are near. I also have one marked "Loot". That has only one item checked and that is Cargo Container. That way I am not sifting through a bunch of other stuff to find the rat loot in a roid field. I also have a "Combat" group for when I am in deadspace or just rat hunting in general.
As you can see, if you take a few minutes to make a few groups of settings for your Overview, it will make your life easier. It is nice to go mining, find the roids I want, switch over when the rats spawn and then switch again to find the loot amoungst the 1001 other cans floating around the field.
I hope this helps some of you.
Enjoy!

I have several settings, but here are some of it.
"Mining" - only displays asteroids (all types) "Missions" - only displays cans, various mission drones, structures, overseer's structures, large collidable objects (because I like to look at the artwork of some of the "Infested rock", for example, I feel like that has to be done to honor the people who made them so nice) and my gang members. "Insta Jumps" - stargates, stations and beacons only. "War" - Tries to display only the people I'm at war with (wish they would let us remove all neutrals from the overview ) and stargates. "Everything" - that contains, well, everything possible. I usually use this one, but end up removing cans/secure cans from it.

I just have one that displays just player ships, for travelling (so I don't have to sort through clutter if attacked), and then rats and cans, mining, and so on.
I've added the Size column (gives an idea of what ships I'm looking at), and Velocity, and I'm sorting by the distance column.
For the mouse-over (last tab), I'm showing Playername [corp] [ship].

Great suggestions. Already had a mining overview but will make some more. Now if we only had a shortcut to change overview :) Another one that I had missed and certainly will use is the mouse-over tab. Thanks.
