In EVE Online, the Overview is a crucial interface element that displays nearby objects in space, such as ships, structures, asteroids, and celestial bodies. Properly configuring your Overview is essential for efficient gameplay, whether you're mining, exploring, PvPing, or running missions. Overview Basics Default Tabs: - The Overview comes with default tabs (e.g., General, Combat, Mining), each displaying different object types. - You can customize these or create new ones. Columns: - Displays information like name, distance, type, velocity, and status of objects. - Right-click the column headers to add/remove fields. Filters: - Controls what objects appear (e.g., ships, drones, wrecks, asteroids). - Essential for avoiding clutter in busy areas. How to Customize the Overview Open Overview Settings: - Press ESC Overview Settings (or right-click the Overview and select Edit Overview Settings). Tabs: - Create new tabs for specific activities (e.g., Exploration, PvP, Missions). - Rename or delete existing tabs. Filters & Presets: - Use Presets (e.g., PvP, D-Scan, Mining) to quickly apply predefined filters. - Manually adjust filters under the Types tab to show/hide objects. Brackets (In-Space Icons): - Configure what appears as brackets in space (e.g., enemy ships, loot cans). - Found under Overview Settings Brackets. Color Coding: - Adjust colors for different objects (e.g., enemies in red, friendlies in blue). - Helps with quick identification in combat. Recommended Overview Setups PvP: - Show only ships, drones, and tactical structures. - Hide asteroids, containers, and non-combat objects. - Use the Z-S Overview or Sarahs Overview pack (popular community presets). Mining: - Show asteroids, mining drones, and jetcans. - Hide ships and unnecessary clutter. Exploration: - Focus on cosmic signatures, containers, and relic/data sites. - Hide combat-related objects. Mission Running: - Show mission objectives, wrecks, and acceleration gates. - Hide non-relevant objects.

Tips for Better Overview Use D-Scan Compatibility: Set up a tab that matches your directional scanner filters. PvP Awareness: Use a separate tab for enemies only. Hotkeys: Assign hotkeys to switch between Overview tabs quickly. Safety: Always have a tab that shows bubbles (warp disruption fields) in nullsec. Would you like help with a specific Overview setup (e.g., nullsec PvP, wormholes, incursions)?
