The Eve-Compendium
Hello all, the following pdf is worth many hours of my work.
It was my goal to help out the eve community so I began compiling a compendium of knowledge about eve, mostly in the form of guides. I searched and collected what I felt were up to date guides and information on different topics in eve, converted them to pdf and organized them in what I hope is a friendly manner.
Mind you some guides may contain some information that is a tad out of date but nothing huge. If it's included it is because I thought it would be useful to someone here.
This if the first public release of the eve-compendium. I hope you all find it very useful.
I am offering this free of charge but donations are most welcome (I'm not ashamed to admit they would make me happy )
The Eve-Compendium V1.5
any suggestions, tips, errors that you may have or found, please mail me in-game.
Likewise any guides that you have and think it should be included in the compendium simply mail me in-game.
I have done my best to receive permission from the various authors included in the guide. If your work is included in this guide and you wish that I remove it, simply mail me in-game and I will do so promptly.
Eve-online is ¬ CCP

A sticky would be nice 
I stuck it in GD because it just didn't seem to fit in any of the other forums.
If anyone has a suggestion where to move it, I'm all ears. ----------------------------- [ 2007.12.05 20:30:54 ] (combat) CCP's premium content strikes you perfectly wrecking for your Boot.ini |

Originally by: Winterblink Would be nice if it was a consistent style/format, but DAAAAAAAAAAAMN that's a ton of info! Good job!
And blogged. :)
Thanks for the blog!  Yeah, I had trouble figuring out a nice format for this, the original version was a printed to help me organize it but I stopped doing that around 200pages . When I have a few hours IÆll try to uniform more of the pages in terms of backgrounds, boarders, ect. IÆll also add section title pages. ItÆs a lot of work and I wanted to get this out there, IÆll do it for the next update though.
Originally by: CCP Oveur This is serious business.
Always. 
Originally by: NeoNeTiC This is outstanding work. 
I've just taken a short look at it and it seems useful for new and experienced players alike. I hope the community appreciates the effort you went through in form of donations and constuctive suggestions. 
Only criticism so far would be the fact that a few sentences sometimes continue on the next page which breaks the otherwise organized layout a bit.
I'm curious how long it did take you to put all this together though. That's a lot of text and info :3
The next big step would be to hyperlink certain keywords so people who read it and get interested in a certain topic can jump there in an instant.
Love and waffles,
NeoNeTiC
IÆll try to clean it up abit more so the sentences donÆt jump pages. Might take me awhile considering the amount of pages though.
IÆve been working on it for around a month (The pdf version). The ôpaperö version was around a week before I realized it was getting too thick.
I plan to add a hyperlink feature soonÖ*
Mmmmmm, waffles.

Originally by: Treenara Mazouk A mammoth undertaking! Will certainly add it to the list of guides on my blog! And I'll make sure that it gets its share of fame on the next Drone Bay! 
Schweet! Thanks. 
Originally by: Altaree Edited by: Altaree on 19/03/2008 17:26:11 Wow, so, the Player Guide over <---------- there is getting replaced with this? CCP, this is the resume of someone you need to hire!
EDIT: Can you please add the publication date of the different guides you are using so people can know how dated certain information is?
The guides are post-rev expect for a few references to agent offers, unless I missed something. I wanted to keep this compendium up to date so I did my best to only include guides that were still up to date (eg, Post-rev). I have a few guides in the process of being updated if the people I asked to actually do it .
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to all the great replies I'm getting. It makes this all worth while! 
Once again, Mmmmmm waffles.
edit: Would it possible to get a sticky for this? ----------------------------- [ 2007.12.05 20:30:54 ] (combat) CCP's premium content strikes you perfectly wrecking for your Boot.ini |

Originally by: FuQue I'd like to make another request to host it elsewhere so that people that have popular sites blocked at work can download and view it. Thanks
Point me in a direction of a secondary host. I sadly don't have a server to host it on.
I still love eve-files. ----------------------------- [ 2007.12.05 20:30:54 ] (combat) CCP's premium content strikes you perfectly wrecking for your Boot.ini |

Originally by: Jairon Very nice, however it would be nicer still if you set the permissions so it would be possible to copy from it. Sometimes its best to have the most crucial info in the ingame notepad.
The next update will allow you to copy the text and images.
Thanks for all the great replies everyone. ----------------------------- [ 2007.12.05 20:30:54 ] (combat) CCP's premium content strikes you perfectly wrecking for your Boot.ini |

Originally by: William Darkk
Originally by: William Darkk I'm having a problem with the guide having absolutely gigantic margins to the left/right of the actual pages.
OK, I checked and even acrobat reader 8 has the problem. It's the giant skill chart thingy. I know it's nifty, but it totally screws up the margins of everything else.
Are the margins being too large causing any problems other then viewing? Let me know on here or in game about what issues it's causing. Along with the next update I'll release an "eve-compendium lite" for you with the oversized pages removed for your viewing pleasure. If you want a "lite" version of this current version give me a shout in game and I'll email you one. Sorry for any problems it's causing

Originally by: Oldariel Mrawlaak It really is great reading that will kepp me occupied for quite a lot of time. Nice to see people help the community.
I do have a question or suggestion though - tried to read it on my Pocket PC (to be able to read it anywhere at all times:) ) and the text doesnt wrap or reflow as Adobe for Pocket PC calls it, because it isn't tagged (I think it's the right term). Is there something that can be done about it? I realy would love to be able to have this guide with me everywhere I go, to pass the time and learn new things.
Again great work, thanks.
I think this has something to do with the oversized pages included in the compendium. I have had NO time lately between my fiance, my birthday, work, and spring. I'll get my lazy ass up and finish the next version of the compendium which will include a version with no oversized pages for simple viewing. Hopefully that should fix some of the problems people have been having.
