The Signal Cartel Custom Overview Pack is tailored towards exploration. While it will perform well in other scenarios such as PvE and PvP, it does not feature as many presets as some of the more specialized overviews available elsewhere. This overview pack is meant to be a lightweight, user-friendly, no-nonsense alternative for veterans and new players alike!

The best way to discover the benefits of using the Signal Cartel Overview Pack is a visual comparison:

• Travel tab preview vs. Default overview
• Exploration tab preview vs. Default overview
• Combat tab preview vs. Default overview

The Signal Cartel Overview Pack was created by Bernard Lachapelle.

Layout and Presets

• Your overview should now look similar to this:
  • to learn how to change the column order, please click here

Note: Unless overruled by a specific preset (e.g: ">FRIENDS" or ">FOES"), all players will appear on all tabs, ensuring you can spot potentially hostile players from any tab you might be on at the time.

Tab Overview

TRAVEL

">TRAVEL" PRESET & BRACKETS

• Rather self-explanatory, when you are moving about going from Point A to Point B and need quick access to stations, stargates, citadels, ... that's the tab you'll want to use.

EXPLORATION

">EXPLORATION" PRESET & BRACKETS

• Only the essential when out exploring, containers, the sun, wormholes and plenty of room to instantly spot anything that shouldn't be on grid with you. (be it NPCs or players)

COMBAT

'">COMBAT" PRESET & BRACKETS

• Again, it's all in the name. Got something that needs fighting, this is the tab you need.

EVERYTHING ELSE

• Now that's where it gets interesting, this tab is the dedicated preset tab. Need to see wrecks? Load ">LOOT", fancy a bit of mining for the day? Load ">MINING", so on so forth.

Here is the list of all the presets that come with the overview:

• ">COMBAT" - should be loaded by default in the "COMBAT" tab, does NOT include drones and fighters.
• ">COMBAT + DRONES" - combat variant with drones and fighters
• ">>DANGER CLOSE" - meant to be used as a dscan filter while out in wormholes, contains ships and everything related to interdiction.
• ">EXPLORATION" - should be loaded by default in the "EXPLORATION" tab.
• ">EXPLORATION + POS" - exploration variant with starbases.
• ">FOES" - will only show hostile players
• ">FRIENDS" - will show only friendly players
• ">LITERALLY EVERYTHING" - I don't think I need to explain that one.
• ">LOOT" - will show wrecks, cargo containers, MTUs, ... the loot stuff.
• ">MINING" - Rock & Stone, to the bone!
• ">TRAVEL" - should be loaded by default in the "TRAVEL" tab.

...And here is how it all works!

(if the animated GIF does not load, please click here.)

Nice and easy, nothing confusing. If you ever need something specific for say abyssal running, just create a new preset with everything you need and plonk it in that tab, you'll get to enjoy all the features without having to mess with the tabs or anything!

Will This Overview Be Kept Up to Date?

Bernard Lachapelle has pledged to keep this overview up-to-date until otherwise noted.

Bernard states, "As long as I remain within Signal Cartel, I will ensure that this overview remains as up-to-date as it gets, no more funny business getting blapped by invisible triangles; and if I ever were to 'win EVE', I'm sure you can figure out how to do all that stuff on your own, it's not that hard!"
