I once traveled @35+ jumps in the wrong direction for an op because I spelled the system name wrong and picked one very close to the real one.
Did not pop a cyno when I was told to as I was entering warp to the cyno station, and caused a corp mate to loose their first capital

Originally by: SeismicForce I recently found out that you can also right-click on your capacitor to show the menu you get when you right click your ship in space.
Years of zooming on, clicking 5 times before I get the right spot and get the menu to open, then zooming out again have gone by before this little tip came along.
Ahhhh ****. I played eve over 3 years and i don't know this . Thx for the tip anyway.

I remember a guy posting once, that his good friend had been playing eve for 18 months before he figured out he could change skills without losing the skill points of that skill he was changing. The guy would leave his GFs house at 3am to go home and set a new skill when the current ran out.

Originally by: Bomberlocks My story is that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I started off in eve. I didn't realise how important skill training was and thus I spent my first month in eve flying around in first a slasher and then a rifter ratting in hisec belts wondering how on earth other people were flying battleships and other shiny stuff and how they could afford them. I didn't do any missions because, in my very first non-training mission, I got the level 1 break their will mission and got my noob ship killed by the very first npc (angel highjacker lol). That traumatised me enough to think that all missions were hard no matter what you flew. Then, after that first month I started doing missions again but for any agent who would speak to me, meaning that my standings with the various npc corps hardly rose at all.
It was only after I joined my first corp that I started realising what eve is all about.
If that is what you think Eve is about, then lol.

I once got blown up twice too a pos cause it was set to shoot on aggression (2nd time I went out to loot my first wreck without waiting 15 minutes).
also some scanning tricks -> you can select and change multiple probes scan range at once. you can also move all probes at once by clicking shift when you drag. ------------------------------ God is an afk cloaker |

Did you know you can move the locked target pictograms around anywhere on the screen ? It's just that the "anchor" is usually hidden behind the overview ?
Also, did you know you can right-click the market graph and remove any individual displayed elements on it ?
How about the fact you're invulnerable for 30 seconds after you enter a grid, but only if you don't give any commands whatsoever to your ship ? Not just for undocking and jumping, but warping inside a system too.
Or how about the fact that when your ship is at a perfect standstill, you are considered aligned to all possible points in space, regardless of the direction your ship is "visually facing" ?
Maybe you also didn't know that (for a while now) holding down CTRL freezes your overview, then forces a reset when you release it (so it also clears up any "ghost" items you had on it for any reason).
And last but not least, even if repeatedly mentioned here and there, the fact that an offline module or an EMPTY module slot do exactly the same for rack overheating purposes, except that keeping the rack empty is cheaper since you never have to repair modules that don't exist.
All of the above took me way longer to find out than I would have considered normal for myself, and some I actually forgot for a while then rediscovered them much later.

When I first started out I was one of those people that unlocked Battleships way too soon. In particular I unlocked Gallente BS because I thought the Megathron looked cool. In fact that ship is the reason I went Gallente lol. Anyways a corp mate (also a noob at the time) was can flipped by a Merlin and took the bait. I was using my mega strictly to do high sec mining, but I had a junk fit available that I used to do missions with. I decided I was going to help out my buddy so I double checked my fit and headed towards my friends wreck and started targeting the merlin.
First mistake I made was taking a BS to kill a frigate. Second mistake was to have such a lame fit and skills. I think I had less than 40 K effective HP and my dps was even more pathetic I'm sure. But that's not even the really embarrassing part. It took forever to kill his shields but I was winning. The turning point in the fight was when I ran out of ammo. For 15 minutes I sat there like the ****ing dead lice was falling off of my head because I had nothing to hit him with.
You want to know why I ran out of ammo? It wasn't because I used a lot or because I forgot the ammo. I deliberately brought only enough to load my guns because I was unaware you could re-load in space. That is why I'm the biggest dork to ever play the game. A single merlin popped my mega. I believe the that was my second ship loss.
My first one was even funnier, although a bit less stupid. I joined faction warfare without knowing what it was, I can thank CCP for giving out the free pass to faction warfare with the Apocrypha retail box. I was mining with my exequror and decided to venture out of my beginner 1.0 system and do some exploring. I was practically instapopped the second I entered a Caldari system.

I did not know that ctrl also cleared ghost items, thx. That will help me defeat those wartarget planets and stargates much quicker

Originally by: u die Some years ago, before Castor, one of my friends has flown a Thorax, fitted with railguns. He has not been very satisfied with the damage output, so he fitted a damage mod. Later he told us, that now his ship rocks, she (the ship) kills pirates faster than ever before.
Months later he noticed, that heat sink does not boost hybrid weapons at all. We lol'd.
Always read the module description.

A couple months ago I was *****ing about the interface to my friend; you know that if you have 8 items in your high slot and weapons aren't grouped the modules will overlap with the drones window and the fleet window.
Then my friend told me to move the ship interface to the right. I have been playing this game since 6 years and I did not know that this is possible.
Hold left and right mouse button on an empty area next to the capacitor circle and drag the whole interface to the left or right. ________________________________________________

My first Gallente and Amarr ships were all shield boosted. Luckily a month into the game I discovered these forums and the joys of armor tanking
I also remember a particular kill of a Drake that had two gyrostabilizers in low slots.

Just left click. You can drag the capacitor itself, too, no need for this empty space bull****. _____ ^ That is a sig line. It should be there without me having to put one in. |

I once lost a Megathron to a Thorax. It was the first day I could fly BSs too.
In 0.0 I once lost a Stealth Bomber to a 2-3 day old character, so let that be a lesson to new players that pvp is always possible when your new. ____________________________________________ When going to a party with wine, women, and song. Always ascertain the vintage of the first two. |

double clicking items in your overview will either make you approach them or if your within 2500m, double clicking will open them (cans, wrecks, structures)
