eve online yellow box

In EVE Online, the yellow box (or yellow rectangle) is a visual indicator that appears around a ship or object when it is locked or targeted by another player or entity. Heres what it means and how it works: What the Yellow Box Indicates: You Are Being Targeted - If a yellow box appears around your ship, it means another player (or NPC) has locked onto you but has not yet activated a weapon or module against you. - This is a warning that you may soon be attacked. You Are Targeting Someone Else - If you lock onto another ship, a yellow box will appear around them in your view. - Once you activate a weapon or module (like a warp scrambler), the box may turn red (indicating active aggression). NPCs and PvE - In PvE (missions, anomalies), NPCs will also show a yellow box when locking you before firing. How to React: If You See a Yellow Box on Your Ship: - Be prepared for incoming damage (activate tank modules, align to warp, or initiate evasive maneuvers). - Check your overview to see who is targeting you. - If in hostile space (low-sec/null-sec), assume youre about to be attacked. If Youre the One Targeting: - The yellow box confirms your lock before you fire. - Switching to aggression (firing) may turn it red and flag you as a suspect/criminal in high-security space. Additional Notes: Red Box = Active aggression (damage or hostile modules being used). Flashing Yellow/Red = Someone is attempting to jam or disrupt your lock.
