EVE:OverviewSettings

Welcome to the Introduction that will save you a lot of headaches and panic attacks.

Welcome to Fixing your overview for Null Sec!

You need to be in space for this, but here is how you start to change your overview settings. This section is not only about colors, it also determines whether something is displayed on a certain state (hostile, neutral, friendly, etc.) or the other.

1. On your Overview settings window, switch to the Appearance tab, then on to the Colortags tab.
2. Ensure Use small colortags is unchecked (the default is checked).
3. Check and make sure everything's ticked (all is enabled) in this section.
4. Right click on Pilot has security status below -5 and change the color to orange .
5. Change the ordering to follow the below pattern/settings, further explanation regarding the coloring and ordering can be seen on the last step (Using Your Overview) of this Overview Setup tutorial. Please take note that the ordering was done on purpose and each colors were set with several considerations taken place beforehand.
6. Aside from the Pilot has security status below -5 . It is highly advised to not change the coloring any further for any of the items on the colortags section. The reason for this is that the various coloring used by the default colortags settings will be used to further differentiate between different space object state/items and because we will be using the backgrounds settings to group generalized states (as shown on the next step).
7. Change your colortags order to the following (you can drag each items listed up or down) :
   • Pilot is at war with your corporation/ alliance
   • Pilot is at war with your militia
   • Pilot has a limited engagement with you
   • Pilot is in your corporation
   • Pilot is in your fleet
   • Pilot is in your alliance
   • Pilot has excellent standing
   • Pilot has good standing
   • Pilot is in your militia or allied to your militia
   • Pilot has security status below -5
   • Pilot is a criminal
   • Pilot is a suspect
   • Pilot has a kill right on him that you can activate
   • Pilot has terrible standing
   • Pilot has bad standing
   • Pilot is an ally in one or more of your wars
   • Pilot has security status below 0
   • Pilot has neutral standing
   • Pilot has no standing
   • Pilot (agent) is interactable
   • Pilot has bounty on him
8. Make sure that the order are setup correctly!.
9. Turn ON the blink state (you can do this by right clicking on an item and hit the blink context menu), for below items. Notice that the blink state represents targets you are free to shoot at regardless of where you are (hisec/nullsec) :
   • Pilot is at war with your corporation/ alliance
   • Pilot is at war with your militia
   • Pilot has a limited engagement with you
   • Pilot has security status below -5
   • Pilot is a criminal
10. The blink state will also be applied to your chat window, so if you prefer to have them turned off, you're free to do so.
11. Additional Note : Corpmates are listed with a higher priority than fleet members to provide more comprehensive information regarding who's who in fleet. This will not affect your overview display as long as you have the background set up properly as described on the next step.
