 +When you complete the installation of the ovewrview pack, you will notice that your overview tabs have changed and that there is more of them.\\ 
 +You can configure them for various scenarios or dynamically adjust in the battle to perform your tasks better.\\ 
 +{{:​training:​game_mechanics:​10_saraswawa_tabs.png?​nolink&​400}}\\ 
 +It is advisable that you don't touch the first (travel) tab, main tab and warpout tab and leave them as they are. 
 + 
 +Short description of overview tabs:\\ 
 +**Travel** - Switch to if you are traveling through congested area and need NPC stations or gates that are otherwise obscured by other entities. Beware there are no ships displayed on it.\\ 
 +**main** - this is the tab you use usually most of the time, either for travel or pvp.\\ 
 +**3 to 7** - useful filters with preloaded defaults for enemy fighters, logistics, drones, salvage and friendly (blue) ships.\\ 
 +**warpout** - moons and sun - you want to warpout to the moon, because if planet has many moons enemy will have less chance to land on you if they are following, because they will assume you went for the planet as they saw you warp in that direction. If you need NPC station or a gate, use travel tab. 
 + 
 +**Examples:​** 
 + 
 +**1. You are an SS carrier and have been told to engage enemy fighters:** \\ 
 +- select tab number 3 with fighters, or of you changed that before select a tab and then right click on it, go to "Load Preset To Tab" and pick # hostile: fighters\\ 
 +{{:​training:​game_mechanics:​11_sarashawa_hostile_fighters.png?​nolink&​400}}\\ 
 +- note that you can have more granular filter by choosing light, support or heavy fighters 
 + 
 +**2.You are HAW dread and have been ordered to shoot enemy battleships alphabetically:​** \\ 
 +- select desired tab, rightclick it and "Load Preset To Tab" # hostile: battleships\\ 
 +{{:​training:​game_mechanics:​12_sarashawa_hostile_battleships.png?​nolink&​400}}\\ 
 +- sort the targets alphabetically from A to Z by clicking the "​name"​ column header so that the triangle is showing up (arrow up)\\ 
 +{{:​training:​game_mechanics:​13_overview_alphabetical_sort.png?​nolink&​400}}\\ 
 +- if you click one more time, the triangle will be oriented down, indicating the reverse sort order from Z to A 
 + 
 +**3. You are fleet FAX and were told to take care of friendly capitals:** \\ 
 +- load preset % freindly: capitals\\ 
 +- sort by distance so that you can warn friendly capitals if they are leaving the reps range\\ 
 +- is is also heavy TIDI, so you "Load Preset to Brackets"​ % friendly: capitals brackets to reduce the clutter\\ 
 +{{:​training:​game_mechanics:​14_sarashawa_brackets_friendly_capitals.png?​nolink&​400}}\\ 
 +- note the "Show all brackets"​ option at the top of the menu 
 + 
 +**4. You are tackle frigate and were told to defend the fleet from enemy booshers:** \\ 
 +- load preset # hostile: cmd dessies\\ 
 +- sort by distance arrow up 
 + 
 +So with "Load Preset to Tab" we can control what is displayed on the overview, and with "Load Preset to Brackets"​ we control what is displayed in space. Sometimes, when an FC expect heavy TIDI, you will be asked to "go potato mode" in case of which you need to turn of the brackets. To turn off the brackets, you can use the menu on the top left off the overview and use "Hide All Brackets"​ option\\ 
 +{{:​training:​game_mechanics:​17_overview_hide_all_brackets.png?​nolink&​400}} 
 + 
 +**Keyboard combinations:​** \\ 
 +Toggle show all brackets Alt-Z\\ 
 +Toggle show no brackets Alt-Shift-Z\\ 
 +Toggle Special Bracket Display Alt-Shift-X (moons) 
 + 
 +**Note that the command to toggle brackets will apply to your selected overview tab.** \\ 
 +- if you click another tab in heavy tidi, it may load long time as brackets are enabled on that tab\\ 
 +- when you are done with battle, or login next day, remember that you are not showing brackets and you need to toggle them back on\\ 
 +- you can dedidate one tab for tidi and always keep it with brackets toggled off
