EVE University's Random Tip of the Day

something I discovered today while out of game.

EVEGate mail is much better than the in-game mail system. I highly recommend managing your mail from EveGate rather than in-game.

As a noob, can I ask what the advantages are?

[Bosozoku Kane]

It might be just my personal preference now that you ask. The UI is a lot easier to use I think.

Are you using an app or something? Because, I love https://gate.eveonline.com/Mail/Inbox when I can't log in... but mails can get seriously messed up. Most notably, links don't show and emails that are particularly link-heavy become almost unreadable.

I guess I haven't used it all that much. It just seemed to look better but maybe it is not actually that good...

You can highlight your own orders in the market!
Open the market, go to settings (in the tab strip up there with 'My orders' etc.) and tick 'highlight my orders'

ORGANISE YOUR HANGAR

I only just forund this one out, so thanks to Ashlea Samson.

If you have a multitude of different items in your hangar and are finding it hard to quickly locate something specific, you can use Large Freight Containers inside your hangars.

Simply decide on what you want in each container, drop them into said container and rename it accordingly eg Ammo, Weapons, EWAR, Drones etc etc etc.

If you reach the container capacity, just use and rename another one eg Ammo 1 & Ammo 2.

This way your hangar becomes nicely categorised

Or just get Station Containers. Packaged they weight 10k, they are available in Aldrat and don't cost much, but they can take 100 times the mass of the Large Freight Container.

Just remember to turn logging off, otherwise you are stuck with a 30d cooldown when you want to repackage them and move.

Cool thanks

Just in case it helps, here's how I have named those I have in Aldrat.

001 - High Slots
002 - Mid Slots
003 - Low Slots
004 - Ammo (that one includes drones)
005 - For Sale
006 - Keepit
etc

When I get loot, I quickly sort it into the first 4 containers (or the first 5 if I already know this mod isn't one I'll keep). The "For Sale" container is used for stuff I'm waiting to have enough of before I give them away / sell them. "Keepit" includes tags and other junk. I also have a few others where I stockpile whatever I need hauled for special projects e.g. lately the modules for the ships I intended to bring to the TRECI apprenticeship, stuff I'll have hauled to the LSC when I can be bothered, etc.

On a carebear alt, instead of one "for sale" can (mostly with loot and salvage) you can have several e.g. with ore, PI, manufactured products, components, etc.

The numbers mean that when I load "my items", the cans are always on top, making it easier to repackage / stack / sell the rest.

I just use the search function #nofuss

I just use the search function #nofuss

Which only works if you don't use any containers

[Acyclic Tau]

Also, don't select all and repackage, everything jumped out of every container and all the names reset. All I was trying to do was stack some modules back up after using them

Paledan, these tips will do wonders for my organization. Thank you much
