CCP Fear	Posted - 2007.10.12 11:54:00 - [1] 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!

The Lobster Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2007.10.12 12:21:00 - [10] 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

Miriyana Gallente Legions of Derek	Posted - 2007.10.12 12:29:00 - [14] 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 Originally by: CCP Wrangler Oh please no, I've had enough with real world taxes, and dealing with the tax agency.

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. --- The Cake Is A Lie ---

Imhothar Xarodit Minmatar Wolverine Solutions Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.12 12:52:00 - [23] Edited by: Imhothar Xarodit on 12/10/2007 12:53:41 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.
Dr Grot Gallente Warrior Eclipse	Posted - 2007.10.12 12:53:00 - [24] 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.
Sekhen Caldari Thundercats RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.12 12:54:00 - [25] The BOB players are NOT employed by CCP. You are not your ship. Dont fly something you cant afford to lose. Allways listen to the GMs. Stay away from Jita. Thats my pick.. Some are better then others. ------------------------------------------------ Stating personal opinions as facts is stupid.

Ithoriel Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:01:00 - [26] 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 Growing old** is mandatory, growing up is entirely optional

Dr Grot Gallente Warrior Eclipse	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:05:00 - [28] 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
Konquera McCall Acme Import Export	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:06:00 - [29] 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.)
Lufio II Amarr Marangrio Space Services Inc. The Dominion Empire	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:13:00 - [30] 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.

Imhothar Xarodit Minmatar Wolverine Solutions Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:26:00 - [34] To get the maximum range of your missiles in meters including skill bonuses, show info on your ship, go to the module tab, show info on your loaded missiles and multiply "Max. Flight Time" with "Max Velocity". Clicking on the little arrow besides the label "Overview" on your overview opens a customization dialog where you can alter any filtering and visual aspect of your overview and save it for later use. You can use Ctrl + Up/Down to cycle through your previous chat messages.

Kyrall Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:30:00 - [36] Certain nice people have anchored cans a couple of hundred km from stations, perfectly aligned with the exit of the station. If you warp to these cans before trying to do anything else you will warp instantly, going right through any traffic jams and allowing you to warp to gates uninhibited. Where these cans don't exist, feel free to anchor your own: Fit a mwd, when you undock don't move, just click to set speed to max, when you are far enough out, anchor and password the can. - Take another step back until you find you've walked away...
Stakhanov Katana's Edge	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:32:00 - [37] If you want to warp midway to a celestial object (like a stargate you can't scan from your position) and have no bookmark , empty your cap before warping. You will warp a fraction of the distance , in that direction. Originally by: F'nog One does not simply log into Jita.
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:35:00 - [38] * Your autopilot can be set to avoid low-security systems if possible, but is not set so by default. Press F10 to open map and change that setting. * When in Empire space, try to only shoot at red things, things with red borders, or things flashing red. Failing to do so usually causes police/security forces to open up fire on you. And then you die. * Double-clicking in space starts moving your ship in that direction. Double clicking on something other than empty space can have different effects, from following it, opening up info on it, or both. * Activating weapons or targetted modules while no target is present WILL automatically activate as soon as a target is locked. Clicking on something while any "activating" module exists will start to LOCK that object. * NPCs : small red crosses are frigates/destroyers, thin large crosses are cruisers/battlecruisers, thick red crosses are battleships or haulers. The more bounty they have, the deadlier they are. * You can not "inconvenience" a NPC by using NOS on it... however, using an Energy neutralizer will decrease their repairing power permanently. * NPCs of all kinds don't ENTER WARP. They just materialize/dematerialize instead. If it just vanished, it's not dead, it's just somewhere else. * Player corp tax applies ONLY to bounties and normal mission rewards equal to or in excess of 35,000.00 ISK. Everything else you do get ISK for (mission time bonus or ISK from trading, for instance) is NOT taxed. * After you succesfully complete 16 missions of a certain level with a certain faction, (usually) the closest available event agent of that particular faction will send you an EVE-mail soon informing you of an "important mission" of that particular level being offered to you. Each faction has a separate "counter to 16" for each mission level. You normally want to take and complete those missions. * EVE-mails that appear in the "CORP" tab are not sent to you, they are sent to everybody in your corporation. Replying to one will also send the reply to all corp members. * Cargo and ship scanners are NOT hostile modules, you never get punished for activating them. You can use a Passive Targeter module to hide the fact you are locking somebody, so you can use the scanners completely undetected. Results however are not 100% accurate, you want to repeat the scans a few times. * If you take something from a can or wreck in space that does not belong to you (yellow coloured in the overview), the owner AND all members of his player corporation can start to attack and try to destroy your ship in the next 15 minutes, and it gets reset to 15 minutes for each pilot that engages a hostile module on you. * Smartbombs hit EVERYTHING in their effective radius (except wrecks and cans), no matter if friend or foe, visible or cloaked. Use them with EXTREME caution when in Empire space. * F.O.F. missiles usually go after one of the closest targets you are agression flagged with. That target could as well be any NPC entity with an ISK bounty on it (including 0.00 ISK), a pod pilot's ship or its drones, and sometimes even friendlies that have interacted with you. They are "friend of foe", not "smart". Use with caution too. * You can ALWAYS attack ANY player in your player corporation ANYWHERE without CONCORD interference. That however is not true if you are in a NPC corp and try to attack a fellow NPC corpmate, in this case CONCORD will engage and kill you. * If you do a showinfo on the ship you fly right now, you can see its current stats, modified by everything appliable. You can also click on your own portrait there and see EXACTLY what others see when they showinfo you. * ALT-F4 does not quit the game, it activates the fourth midslot. However, CTRL-Q does close the game ! * You can (re)define shortcuts for actions which are by default unassigned. For instance, a shortcut to toggle the autopilot, or to open the ship's dronebay. _ 1\|2\|3
J Ripper Caldari	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:41:00 - [39] Sliding a microwarpdrive into the F1 slot of your UI and keeping F1 jammed down allows you to Autopilot and MWD to each gate every time ;) my sig: --- Jon Johansen ---
Foppemoa Caldari Royal Swedish Capsulers Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.12 13:41:00 - [40] Originally by: Asestorian Edited by: Asestorian on 12/10/2007 12:40:54 Originally by: Foppemoa Edited by: Foppemoa on 12/10/2007 12:35:41 You can zoom (like a tele lens) if you hold CTRL + LMB + RMB and then drag your mouse in various directions. 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. Yes, you can zoom normally with only LMB & RMB. But if you try to hold CTRL you will see a different kind of zoom (you can basically zoom in to a single turret if you want)

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.10.12 14:07:00 - [41] * You CAN NOT cancel a target lock in progress manually. However, you can TRY to lock new targets as long as your ship sensors and your current skill levels allow at least one extra target. As soon as you have the maximum numbers of targets locked, all other locks in progress WILL CANCEL automatically. * Click and hold right mouse button in empty space to move camera around temporarily. While still holding right mouse button, click and hold left mouse button to start zooming in/out when you move mouse up/down. Things which normally don't show up on screen (because they're too small or too far away) MIGHT become visible when zooming. * You can refuse a mission BEFORE you accept it for no penalities. However, you have to wait 4 hours before you can do that again, or else you get a standings penality to all agent, corp AND faction standings. Once you accept a mission however, you MUST complete it in the alloted time or else you WILL lose standings (but only with agent/corp). Forgetting about an unaccepted mission offer until it expires (1 week) counts as a rejection... so don't do it. * Using the autopilot will always warp you to 15km from a gate. If you want to travel fast, do each jump manually, to 0m from each gate. Once you start warping, you can enable autopilot, but disable it again when jumping. Repeat for each gate. * Pressing CTRL-SPACE will stop your ship. It will also deactivate autopilot. More important, it will also cancel your current warp attempt if you're not already aligned and at warp-entering speed (80% of top speed). * Use "add waypoint" to queue up the next destination at the end of your autopilot list. If you use "set destination", it will CLEAR all previous waypoints. You can not "set destination" to any of your existing waypoints (to do that, first remove waypoint, THEN set destination). You can add a waypoint to the current system for a round-trip. By default, the autopilot DISENGAGES at each waypoint, but you can set it to keep going (careful to not accidentally end up where you started if you plotted a round-trip). * Pressing CTRL-R will reload all non-fully-loaded weapons with the loaded ammo type if you have enough ammo of that kind available in your cargohold. Once/if a reload has started, you have to wait aprox. 10 seconds for those weapons to become available to you. * Opening up the tactical overlay, you see a bubble. That's your ship's maximum targetting range. HOVERING the mouse over a module (any activable module) will display two additional bubbles (if you only see one extra, they overlap). The "inner" new bubble is your module's OPTIMAL range (works just fine), the "outer" new bubble is your module's OPTIMAL+FALLOFF range (works at halfed effectiveness there). At Optimal+Falloff+Falloff, the effectiveness of modules is almost inexistant. * You can add/remove any TYPE of objects you see to the overview by right-clicking on them (on screen or on the overview) and selecting the "add/remove selected_object_type from overview" option. * Each and every table you see in the game can be SORTED by that specific attribute if you click on the tab header. Clicking again will reverse the order. Some tabs (the market, for instance) can be set up to sort by up to three separate headers. Play with market tabs to see what I mean. * You can create a showinfo link for almost anything in the game by writing in a text/input box part of its same, highlighting it, then right-clicking on it, selecting "auto-link" and then the type of thing you want to link to (item, character, station, etc). A window will pop up with ALL possible/valid options. Select the desired one. Now your text is a link you can already click. * The in-game NOTEPAD data is stored server-side. Use it to write notes you need access to if you play on separate computers. They will always be available to you there. * When you don't know what to do with something, right click on it. It usually helps, a bit. _ 1\|2\|3

Treher Minmatar Infinity Enterprises Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.12 14:30:00 - [44] You don't have to drag mods to the actual spot in the fitting window where you want them. You just have to drag them to a blank area on the fitting screen, such as the lower right corner. This makes for much faster refitting. ______________________________________________________ I forget which station container has my memory implants.

But if you try to hold CTRL you will see a different kind of zoom (you can basically zoom in to a single turret if you want) You're doing it Wrong! Pressing LMB then RMB performs the "normal zoom". If you press the RMB first, then the LMB you get the "telephoto zoom". CTRL + LMB locks a target from space or the overview. ALT + LMB performs "Look At" on a target from space. ALT + LMB on empty space performs "Reset Camera". Thar be Pirates You are not authorised to hack into CONCORD's mainframe Your Wallet has been emptied! CONCORD Encryption Methods
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.10.12 14:52:00 - [46] * NOTHING can target past 249.99km. If you are 250km or farther away from any enemy, you are practically invulnerable. That is, until they get closer. And they can, and they will. So keep alert. * You CAN initiate a warp towards any object incapable of movement (wreck, can, asteroid, gate, station, etc) that is more than 150km away from you. You can also warp towards fleet members that are more than 150km away. You CAN NOT warp to a ship that doesn't belong to your fleet, no matter how far it is, evenif you see it. * Warp Core Stabilizers add +1 to your ship's warp strength (base 0). Enemy (NPC or player) scramblers and disruptors substract 1, 2 (or even 3 on very rare modules) from it. If you have a total of 0 or more warp strenght, you can warp. If you have -1 or below, you can not, and are trapped (unless you are at a gate and can jump through it, or are at a station and can dock in it). * Warp Core Stabilizers reduce your targetting range and targetting speed. If you want to be able to run, you will have a tough time fighting. The more you fit, the worse it gets. * In 0.0 space (and 0.0 space only), people can set up Mobile Warp Disruptors, or use Interdictors to drop a warp disrupt probe (a.k.a. "bubbles"). Those have an INFINITE WARP SCRAMBLE strength. Nothing can EVER warp while inside an active "bubble", not even the owner. If you are warping to a grid with a bubble in it, and your trajectory crosses any point in the bubble, you get pulled out of warp in a DIFFERENT point as you wanted to, right near the bubble. * Cloaking devices reduce your speed while cloaked and increase targetting time when fited (with the exception of the Covert Ops version, which can only be used by a very small number of ships). They increase the targetting time EVEN WHEN OFFLINED. So, it's no use to offline them. Either keep them online, or don't fit them. * You can not cloak if an enemy has you targeted, you have to break all locks first. You can not cloak if you are closer than 2000m from almost any object. You CAN NOT dock nor jump while cloaked. You WILL decloak automatically if you get closer than 2000m to an object. You can not remain cloaked when warping, with the exception of the (small number of) ships able to use, and having a Covert Ops cloak fited. * Missiles have to travel to the target, but if they are faster as the target, and fuel doesn't run out, then they will ALWAYS hit it. However, the damage they deal is reduced proportionally by the target's speed (if faster as explosion velocity) and signature radius (if smaller as explosion radius). The target can also escape by simply warping off before the missiles hit, and even a short warp inside the same grid will save it. * Turret firing hit instantly, and always deal the same raw damage to any sized target, depending only on quality of the hit (from x3 of normal damage for wrecking shots, which happend at most 1% of the time, to x1.5 damage for excellent hits, down to x0.5 damage for near-misses). However, turrets can fail to hit the target entirely if it's too far away, too small or moving sideways too fast... depending on what stats the turret has, of course. * You DO NOT need to learn any rigging skills to fly a rigged ship. You can just buy it already rigged from somebody else. Or you can have a friend rig it for you. The only other benefit of having the rigging skills (except being able to fit them yourself) is to REDUCE the penalities the rigs apply to your ship (if any, some rigs have no penalities at all). * The Salvaging skill and the Salvage rigs DO NOT increase the quality of your salvage. They only allow you to salvage faster (and salvage more difficult wrecks you could not with less skill/gear). You always get the same salvage components from a wreck when one of your salvagers finally completes a successfull cycle. * Hacking and Archaeology work almost exactly as Salvaging, but unlock locked cans instead. _ 1\|2\|3

James Lyrus Lyrus Associates M. PIRE	Posted - 2007.10.12 16:19:00 - [51] Tactical Overlay shows ‘blobs’ for items you have on your overview. Doubleclick a folder in people and places and it’ll pop up a separate window. This window can be ‘pinned’ on your backdrop, for easy access to safespots, or gangmembers for warpins. Channel stacks can be separated out. Do this with ‘local’ and ‘pin’ it on your backdrop, and keep an eye out for all those pirates entering system. Warp range to an object or bookmark is 150km. You can hotkey gang broadcasts, by pressing ‘ESC’ and selecting shortcuts. ‘Need Armour’ or ‘Need Shield’ is a useful one to shortcut. You can move your modules around on your neocom. Arrange these to your liking – the top row correspond to F1 – F8, so modules you need to activate and deactivate frequently (e.g. weapons, electronic warfare, warp scramblers) are best suited to this row, where modules you just leave running, or activate occasionally, are better off on another row. (I tend to put weapons and ewar on top row, occasional activation modules like reppers, sensorboosters and MWDs on the middle row, and modules I just leave running – like shield hardeners, sensor boosters – on the bottom row. Your overview can be configured to show people by standings. Filtering out people in your gang, corporation, or have positive standings is a good way to avoid friendly fire incidents. You can save overview presets. Setting up one for each job is a good idea, e.g. PvP, missions, mining, travel. If you turn on the ‘ship name’ option in the Overview Settings -> Ships in the overview settings, then the name of what you were shooting gets saved in your log. This can be helpful finding them with the scanner, later. The map is a very powerful tool. In particular, ‘ships destroyed in the last hour’ is amazingly useful for spotting gatecamps. There’s an optimize waypoints option on the map. It lets you fiddle the order of a set of waypoints to the shortest path (but doesn’t work all that well when you start getting past 10) If you ‘look at’ another ship, you can see their turrets, and the different sizes and T1/T2 turrets look different. Ammo for different ranges are different colours – if you look closely, you can tell what type of ammo another ship is firing. You can find an agent, by doing ‘show info’ on a corporation. The Navy corporations have the most, but every faction has a number of corps who are worth doing missions for. The most dangerous places in EVE are the entrypoints to lowsec and 0.0. They’re not always blockaded, but they’re good spots to do so, so it is well worth you time to scout before going into one. Gyrostabilisers are for projectiles. Heatsinks are for lasers. Magnetic Field Stabilisers are for Hybrids, and Ballistic controls are for launchers. Tanking on both shield and armour is much less efficient than tanking on one or other really well. Beer doesn’t improve your tanking. No one legitimate will ever ask you for your password. A bellicose is not a faction ship. The GMs are lovely helpful people, and really appreciate coherent petitions. It takes 8 hours to train an alt on your primary account to fly a bestower, with cargo expanders. This is useful if someone declares war on you. Feeding Devs beer is good for your karma. EC-P8R is not a good place to mine Crokite. Group your drones, for easy management. In 0.0 people can shoot you without consequence. Therefore they probably will. There are many good and useful tools to go with eve. EFT (EVE fitting tool) and EVEMon (EVE Monitor) are really rather handy. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? GMP and TNP
Snake Doctor Paradox v2.0	Posted - 2007.10.12 16:42:00 - [52] Don't suck The low sec shortcuts and border systems between empire regions are even more dangerous than the entrances from empire to 0.0, with Tama and Rancer-Miroitem seeming to be the most dangerous. There are many low sec systems that are safe player-wise (even policed, in one case I've seen), however CONCORD will not back you up if *** hits the fan. Don't attack people in low sec -> no sec systems. Chances are they have a fleet in 0.0 waiting for them and they won't like it if you hold them up. If you are too afraid to lose your ship, don't fly it. Sometimes begging the GM's to reconsider works, but not often. No. Don't macro, or someone like me will relieve you of your ice/ore and your ship. Vexors work GREAT for doing the above. You can suicide about 22 people before you need to worry about your sec status in empire. No. It's not your imagination. You ARE bringing in less trit. The Devs are cutting you off. The Rokh is (on average) the best t2 fitted t1 miner for empire space. A barge is great, but a Rokh mines more. A Covetor with 3x strip miner 2's and a mining upgrade brings in a total of about 3km3 every 3 minute cycle. That's 1km3 every minute. A well fitted Rokh can bring in 1.1-1.3km3 a minute, AND your cycle time is lower. If your asteroid has 20m3 left to mine, you really want that extra 2 minutes back. Lasers don't stop cycle when the asteroid is depleted. ECM Burst is useless. Take advantage of your ships' bonuses: An Abaddon with Tachyons and a good fit can give up to an 11x dmg modifier, PER laser. A good tank is not a lot of shields. Drop the extenders and train up active tanks. You'll last a lot longer and your sig radius will be smaller. Don't try to fit 2 cloaks or 2 Probe launchers. If you do, neither will work. When docked in a station, open your ships window. Drag and drop a ship into your hangar and it will become active. Use "lockers" in your "home" station. It keeps lag down when loading your items window and assets. If everyone in Jita had their crap in well categorized station containers, the lag would be cut in half. Collect dead bodies. You never know when you'll want to spruce up a POS with frozen corpses. OH DO NOT POST TO THE FORUMS ABOUT MACROS OR FARMERS. Petition it and go to the Macrointel channel. They will help you.

You are trying to salvage a Minmatar ship. -That's just how they look- Right-click your ship, show info, then click your portrait if you want to see your own bio the way others see it (sometimes different from it looks like when you're editing it) or your sec status. To get around black screen undocks in hugely laggy systems.... In the ESC menu under shortcuts, make a key combo that activates autopilot (I use ALT + Q). Right-click the gate through which you intend to leave and set it as the first waypoint for autopilot. If you do get a black screen undock and it doesn't clear after about 10-20 seconds, hit your shortcut and your ship will start warping to the gate. It also helps if you make a custom overview that removes everything but stargates and switch to it before docking. Don't know if somebody got these already... In a laggy fight with large numbers of people (or rats), turning off sound, turret effects, weapon effects and damage messages/logging will reduce quite a bit of lag. CTRL/ALT/SHIFT/E for effects CTRL/ALT/SHIFT/T for turrets CTRL/ALT/SHIFT/F12 for sound Weapon effects can be turned off in the ESC menu. Never tried this one, but a FIXian once swore having the star system map open during a fleet fight, instead of looking at space, reduces a lot of lag. /edit: many, many typo fixes -- This Space For Rent

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. Yes, you can zoom normally with only LMB & RMB. But if you try to hold CTRL you will see a different kind of zoom (you can basically zoom in to a single turret if you want) You're doing it Wrong! Pressing LMB then RMB performs the "normal zoom". If you press the RMB first, then the LMB you get the "telephoto zoom". CTRL + LMB locks a target from space or the overview. ALT + LMB performs "Look At" on a target from space. ALT + LMB on empty space performs "Reset Camera". Hmm, that's weird. because i don't get telephoto zoom without holding CTRL. Doesn't matter which order i click with the mouse buttons i still only get the "standard" zoom? "But there is no sense crying over every mistake You just keep on trying until you run out of cake"

As an example, if you look like a "carebear" because you're mining, NPCing, or mission-running, people will want to attack you, given the chance. Thus, playing decoy is often useful if you want to get someone into engagement range; just sit there and wait for them to attack you, then open fire at the right moment. Conversely, if you look tough enough (either through ship class and fit or actions), it will sometimes scare off the less determined, even if you're not fit for PvP. -Wrayeth n00b Extraordinaire "Look, pa!

Bobo Biggles Gallente B.Biggles Corp	Posted - 2007.10.14 15:20:00 - [98] one of the things I do to make using the over view easier is to "preface" my overview entries with a numeric code. This way instead of being sorted alphabetically the entries are listed by the number. For example: 010 Standard view 020 Veldspar 030 All Ships This way I don't have to search the list for the overview I want to use, I can group similar overviews by placing the numeric code in front of any new entries. For Example: 010 Standard view 015 PVP View 020 All Asteroids 020 Scordite 020 Veldspar 021 Omber 030 All Ships 031 Frigates Only 032 Cruisers Only 040 Stargates 041 Planets 042 Stations 999 Everything Doing this allows me to "force" often used entries to the top, or bottom, of the list. If you repeat a "number code" the items in that code will be listed by that number, then alphabetically. (So you can use 020 for all asteroid types for example.) Also if you don't give an entry a "number" it will be listed below the numeric entries. I hope that I've explained this well and that someone will find this usefull. (Yes I used to program BASIC )

Drop the extenders and train up active tanks. You'll last a lot longer and your sig radius will be smaller. Tell that to a Nighthawk pilot. If your ship's shield recharge rate is above average for its shield size then boosting total HP can produce a seriously impressive tank. -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom".

CaptainOkuna The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.10.14 23:05:00 - [104] My 3 Top Tips: 1) The added damage/ROF etc that a BCU (or multiple BCU's) gives is not included in the calculation when you rmc on your ship to work out DPS and ROF. Do it manually and remember the stacking nerf (mod 1 - 100%, mod 2 - 85%, mod 3 - 55%) 2) For remote repping BS gangs, rather than having gang members on your overview (and accidently firing on a gang mate due to lag or whatever), you can can target gang members via the gang menu (ie rmc on their name and select lock target). 3) My other one has already been said - Ctrl+F in space allows you to see the fittings screen u get in a station but outside. Much easier to read than rmc on your ship and looking through the attributes tab Hope that helps Kuna Originally by: Mitch Taylor If you lost your damn ship, you did something stupid

MellaRinn Gallente Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.10.16 13:47:00 - [117] Edited by: MellaRinn on 16/10/2007 13:49:48 Dragging a ship from your ship hangar onto the 3d ship view part of your screen will cause the ship to become active. You can customise your left/right hand tab (NeoCom) by rightclicking on it and removing/adding icons to it, as well as making it behave differently (autohide/iconzoom). You can merge your ships and items tabs into the station interface through the Generic options menu (Esc). Dragging a whole lot of modules (selected with ctrl+A or shift + click / Shift + ctrl + click) onto the fitting screen will put them in order in the empty slots you have. NB: The above still doesn't work properly with ammo though (puts 1 unit of ammo into the first slot :( ) Dragging an item onto the ship's icon in the hangar will put the item in its cargo bay. You don't need to open the cargohold to put stuff into it in space - drag it onto the little cargohold icon instead. You can split stacks by shift-dragging and in some cases by right clicking and selecting 'split strack'. You can 'top up' containers by dragging excess amount of items into them and accepting the dialog box regarding volume. You can use various sized containers (not only secure) to increase your cargohold total. Note that this will not work with bio matter and some radioactive / special items and other containers, as well as can prove impossible if you want to transport bulky items. The containers give you 30% extra space regardless of their size (i.e. 3000m3 can provides 3900 m3 space). Hot-firing 2 tractor beams will activate them on the target but will not give you any benefit whatsoever ;-) Salvaging is (as of now) not theft. Looting cans - is. You can select multiple items with the same set of actions (e.g. containers) and perform the action to all of them. Be it "Open container x10", "Repackage x16384267" or reprocess commands. Save for reprocessing, it is safe to select 10 containers and a few exotic dancers and still select open container (10). The dancers will just ignore you while you increased the speed of your hangar sorting operations ;-) You can right click any cargohold or hangar and as long as there is enoough space to do so, you can 'stack all' items that are repackaged. (Yes, I've seen ppl do it manually on their whole hangars). You can check any standings towards you in your character sheet. If you are looking for a new agent - see which corp has best standings towards you, 'info' it and see what agents they offer. Alternatively you can use the map, but prepare to spend the rest of the day looking for the one you want if your standings are quite high ;-) You can speed up system search by looking for it through ppl&places rather than the map search function. You can make your map skip the animation by selecting the 'instant' option in the animation tab. You can access your map by doing ctrl + mouse scroll back (and conversely - forth). Read and customise your shortcuts menu (ESC -> shortcuts) in order to avoid dissappointment like all chat windows disappearing (default 'ctrl+shift/alt + W' if i recall correctly) or game suddenly shutting down (ctrl+Q by default). You are also bound to find a lot of cool shortcuts like autopilot switch for instance. During missions/plexes, only shoot structures with a wanted structure icon (a spiky square) rather than a plain square, if you don't want to drop your standings for no reason whatsoever. Read and re-read the item descriptions - EVE is constantly changing and that old nanophoon of yours might want to get some istabs instead, etc. It is useful to read patchnotes if you don't want to spend hours figuring out things like why thi time your control tower lets you top up for 21.5 days. \o/ I shall come back with some more later if I can think of something not mentioned here (though I'm pretty sure I doubled up some tips already ;-) ) ✖Veto Corp.

Warning If you're carrying 150+ cans for advertising your corp, do NOT hit jettison on the stack, as you will have to scoop every last one of them back into your cargo bay, one at a time.

Joshua Mendle Gallente The Bewlay Bros.

It's quicker than using ctrl or "select all" When dragging ammo etc from hangar to cargo/drone bay use shift to drag any number other than the amount stacked. Eg if you want five drones and there are 10 stacked, hold shift drag the drone stack and it will ask you to enter the amount you wish. When making shortish trips, you can make them quicker by warping to 0 of individual gates instead of setting a destination and clicking autopilot. Helpful with freighters etc To get past gate camps easier especially if you are in a med- largish ship, have a friend in an inty with MWD come with you. Stay cloaked until he MWDs away, then keep warping to him until you are out of harms way. Helps if you have warp stabs here as well. Double click in hangar opens your ships cargo. When looting/salvaging use your tractor beams on one group of wrecks, while moving to the next group. Tjis saves loads of time. You can even salvage from them while you are tractoring them. Don't take sweets from strangers While in low sec, after an aggressive act by yourself DO NOT try to dock.

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. Haven't read the whole thread yet, but 1 & 5 are dangerous together..... if your guns are all hot and ready to fire as soon as you lock, and you auto-target back the first person that locks you, this is a very good way to meet your friendly neighborhood Concord officer.....
