Also I had a nice post about not to use 6 probes scanning but Kwark erased most of your convo. Edit: My english failed me. | ||

Made some changes, credits to you-know-who-you-are. The way you have overview set up right now you are potentially missing a lot of important information. Use total velocity and angular velocity. Transversal is useless, you have divide it by distance to get a relevant number. Use more background colors and color tags. Tags should be bad first, backgrounds should be good first. i.e. colortags should go wars, outlaw, bad, corp/alliance, good, fleet, neutrals background should go fleet, wars, corp/alliance, good, bad, outlaw, neutrals Use a background color for neutrals and no standing so ships stand out in space, and use the colortag for neutrals so you can see who's in your address book by looking at space or local. Outlaw and wars should be red, terrible should be orange, and bad should be yellow so you can immediately tell apart aggression from standings. Outlaw should be a flashing colortag with a solid background, and wars should be a solid colortag with a flashing background. Use dark turquoise for alliance and turquoise for negative sec status/bounties. Use only the background for negative sec and only the colortag for bounties as these are not mutually inclusive. If you set it like this, you can immediately pick out the most important features of pilots in local, while still being able to distinguish reds with personal blue standings in space (that is, someone with both good and bad standings). You will also be able to tell all important features of a pilot's standings even if they are in fleet, in case you need to start killing fleet members. Overview settings Since we've recently stopped doing our training ops I suspect a lot of the newer guys have sub-standard overview settings. [url blocked] These are my overview settings. I'm not saying they are the best settings ever, but they are certainly ideal for what we do and I like them. Feel free to edit them as you see fit. Download file, put it in Documents\Eve\Overview (create this folder if you don't have it already). Import it as follows: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/mggZe.png) In that same menu, click on 'open overview settings'. Copy these pictures: Uncheck the 'use small colortags' option ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/9jFhn.png) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Js9cK.png) It may not be clear but for the background tab, I have set 'at war with corp/alliance/militia' to blinky red but set 'outlaw' to not blink. This helps me differentiate between people that will get GCC'd if they attack and people that are able to attack me at will without risking anything. Obviously, this doesn't affect you once you are a pirate, since at that point anything will be able to attack you. Quick rundown of each of my overview settings: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/ZlqaZ.png) Celestials: only sun + gates Default 2: default eve settings with sun and probes Drones: only drones Fleetpvproam: Standard pvp settings, but does NOT show fleet members. Use in fleet fights with more than 3-4 allies (unless you're logi, herp derp) Mission (clean): similar to default, but without wrecks. Obviously for missioning. Missioning: default + wrecks + large colloidable objects, needed for some missions Pvproam: standard pvp settings, and does show fleet members. Use in small fleets (2-3 allies ish) Warfleetpvproam: Pvp settings that ONLY show war targets, and does NOT show fleet members. Warpvproam: Pvp settings that ONLY show war targets, and does show fleet members. I understand that my use of the term 'fleet' in my setting names is the opposite of what it does (fleet in name = doesn't show fleet members), but it's what I started with and I've stuck with it. Feel free to correct it. I have 5 overview tabs open, as follows: Default - switch between Default 2 and Missioning overviews as needed Pvp 1 and Pvp 2 - I usually have two tabs dedicated for pvp overviews so I can switch between only WT's/all ships and fleet members/no fleet members as appropriate. Drones - Drones. Duh. Celestials - Celestials. I switch to this tab as I'm about to die so I can quickly select something to warp to once my pod is out. You should definitely have the Velocity column open, and the Hope this helps. EDIT: Few extra titbits. When dscanning, I generally use my Pvp tabs to find ships. Once I find them and have narrowed them down somewhat, I switch to my Default tab. This will then show any wrecks (signifying that they have been missioning) or any POS modules (showing that they are pos'd). EDIT2: Made some changes and updates based upon advice I was given. | ||

 This guide, while not being perfect for what we do, is also a nice read. Helped me to adjust my overview to my needs and preferences. While still maintaining a pvp, fleet, missioning and drone tab. | ||

Tracking is in angular velocity, so its what matches up to combat the best. Radial velocity indicates if they are burning towards you or not, as opposed to total velocity, which only tells you if they are fast or slow. radial velocity is relatively useless because, god damn it, you can SEE what direction they're moving in actual velocity is very important for keeping range on stuff, knowing when something is burning etc | ||
