 ======The Overview======
-The Eve Online Overview is, in short, one of the most important windows you see on your screen when you are undocked (in space). Overview is your eyes in space, your primary means of knowing what objects there are in space around you and what objects you can interact with. Hence why understanding how it works and how to setup this feature properly is very important and should be a priority, especially for newer players.

-As said, if you're directed to this article by your friends, FC or fleetmates, there's a high possibility that there's something wrong with your overview. To understand why what you are seeing is wrong, you need to get into the 0.0 mindset that sec status means nothing.  Many friends, Romans, countrymen have a negative security status or are even outlaws in low/high sec.  The default overview has -5 security status (previously named 'outlaw' before Retribution patch) and 'security status below 0' placed as a priority over certain standings in the colortag and background list.  You don’t need to be concerned with an alliance member's sec status.  All friends should be blue.  (Otherwise, [[Not Blue Shoot It|NBSI]].)

 =====Eve Overview: Profiles=====
-A basic overview window displays only one overview tab, further on you can add up to four additional tabs to your overview resulting in total of five standalone tabs each displaying different profiles (or same profile if you want to). Each profile contains a rule set on what space objects are to be displayed and which ones should never be displayed.

Each profile contains a rule set on what space objects are to be displayed and which ones should never be displayed.
-Space objects as mentioned and what's displayed on the Filters-Types section of the overview settings is what the game interprets a particular existence of an item or a displayable defined state, for example, a Thrasher is a ship in which the state of whether it's displayed on your overview or not controlled by whether you activate the filter type of Ship-Destroyer. Each definition of objects in Eve have a particular category in which they fall to, another example is a big non-asteroid rock which your ship can bump into can be categorized as a "Large Collidable Object".

If you have a set of ships ticked on one profile, you'll need to define whether you want them displayed at all times regardless what's the ships (or any objects) state, or you may want to only display those ship types only if they're hostile or only if they're friendly to you.

 Below are the necessary steps to setup your overview properly. Bear in mind that if you have previous experience on referencing to different sources of how-to setup your overview, such as the [[http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Overview_Guide | Eve University Overview Guide]], ours are quite different in some ways.
-The Retribution patch introduces a whole new way of configuring how your overview displays objects with certain states, aside from the introduction of the new flags such as Suspect and Criminal flag, the new overview also allows us to further group entities by separating them between appearance (the icons displayed) and their backgrounds, which was not possible before. This allows us as a community heavily based on standings to identify between friendlies, neutral and hostile entities to further extend how the overview present this information to us in a real time manner and easier identification. To know what these changes entail and how does it affects you after you done all these steps below, please make sure to read the [[training:overview#finished|Using Your Overview]] section of this article.

 ===Introduction to Filters===
 The filters tab contains all the necessary options in relation to what items or space objects are to be displayed on your overview window. This section controls <color green>what</color> objects are going to be displayed on your overview and <color green>when</color> they are going to be displayed. This might be confusing for newer players, but here's an example. Say there is an Oracle on grid with me (on grid means that I'm "in range" with and can interact with him), if I have Battlecruisers ticked on the "Types" tab (since Oracle is a Battlecruiser), I should be able to see him on my overview right? unfortunately, the answer is 'not always, it depends', hence the 'when' part of the equation comes to play, if the Oracle is a friendly entity (for example, he's one of my corp mates) and I have the associated friendly state turned ON (Pilot is in your Corporation), then I would see him on my overview, otherwise, he will not be shown at all.
-<color red>IMPORTANT!</color> The settings on the filters tab are not shared across overview profiles, this is a good thing because it means you can have multiple different profiles with different functionality. For instance, you can have a profile that shows only hostile stealthbombers by ticking only stealthbombers on the "Types" sub tab and all relevant hostile filter states on the "States" sub tab. You can save each changes by accessing the save profile settings from the top left of the overview window and hit "Save Current Type Selection As".

-First and foremost, we need to remind ourselves that we are not a highsec entity, like most other nullsec organizations, we 'discriminate' between each pilots/entities by the standings set by our leaders our ourselves or in short, if the alliance/coallition said he/she is a friendly entity then he is one (in terms of in game tactical state, you can be friends with a bacon for all we care). The main purpose of the current overview setup is to **"Significantly simplify the correct overview presentation of an object while retaining the most prevalent object state to display"**. The changes to the overview mechanics brought up by the Retribution patch allow us to do things that we could not do previously.

 In addition to the generalized object state schemes, the changes made by CCP following the Retribution patch also allows us to set the colors and ordering between colortags differently from their backgrounds counterparts. This means, for instance, regardless of whether several different friendlies whom shown to you as dark blue on their backgrounds, the **colortags will always show you the difference between friendlies**. Below are several scenarios which should provide you some ideas on what will/should be shown on your overview :
-  * An alliance mate will always shown with a blue icon with big white star and your corp mates will always be shown as green icon with white star despite their blue backgrounds. Different standings will also be shown via the icons, so you'll still know why someone's blue to you.

-  * A hostile entity apart from their red background will have different icons attached to them noting whether they have a criminal flag, suspect, killrights or just a solid negative standings, which in turn will allow you to make quick decision whether you can shoot him or not at the time. For example, an entity with red background, you can shoot him anytime in nullsec, but what happens when you're in highsec? this setup will provide you the details on whether you can shoot him legally without intervention from CONCORD or not by viewing his icon (if he has a red star or any colored skulls you can shoot him, if he has an orange crosshair, you can activate a killright on him, other than that, you'll get CONCORDed).

-There are also several other advantages of using or releasing overview packs. One worth mentioning is that some overview packs were designed with a lot of careful considerations and many standards applied. This is especially important in some corporations, big alliances or coallitions. For instance, many of the overview packs may release set X profiles which is used on important scenarios and in turn used by many members of certain organizations; there are also the case of standardization across these profiles, while building your own overview can be good or better on some cases, using the same overview pack across many players at once enables you to follow and issue commands or intel with the knowledge that the other person who listen or giving those intel actually have the same overview setup as yours.
