EVE treats ships as vectors.\\ \\ * For Cap Boosters, always use the largest charge you can fit. - It gives you the biggest boost per time, since you have the smallest amount of cycles.\\ \\ * For Ancillary Shield Boosters, use the smallest charge you can. - You want to be able to run it for as many cycles as possible before you have to reload.\\ \\ * Ancillary Shield Boosters cost no cap to run while there are charges loaded, they cost more cap than a normal Shield Booster once you run out of charges.\\ \\ * Ancillary Armor Repairers repair a higher amount while they are loaded with nanite repair paste. Once you run out of paste, the repair amount is less than that of a normal rep.\\ \\ * Turn off auto-reload for all Ancillary Armor Repairers and Ancillary Shield Boosters. In many situations it is better to run them with reduced effectiveness instead of going through the one minute reload.\\ \\ * Warp Scramblers will deactivate your MWD. \\ \\ * Be Proactive in your TAC creation. Tactical bookmarks can mean the difference between you shedding tears or the punk that tried to gank you.\\ \\ * You don't allways land on stations in a range where you can dock immediately. Use Instadock bookmarks to avoid that.\\ \\ * To warp somewhere, you have to be aligned to it sufficiently. This means that you have to be moving in the correct direction and be fast enough (70% of your maximum speed)\\ \\ * When you undock, you will start with more than 100% of your normal speed for any ship. This means if you have a bookmark in front of the undock, you can warp to it immediately. This is called an Instaundock.\\ \\ * When you undock, you can press CTRL+Space to stop your ship. If you don't press any other buttons or activate any modules or navigate in space, you will be invulnerable for 30 seconds.\\ \\ * After undocking, you will have a session change for about 10 seconds. This means you won't be able to dock back up immediately. See the tip above to avoid being killed.\\ \\ * Do not warp directly to gates or stations in Null! Using Bookmarks near them (but more than 150km away) ensures that you are able to avoid bubbles.\\ \\ * If you know something that fits in here, please add it!\\ \\ * After leaving a fleet you get a session timer that stops you from docking a few seconds, so its important to never leave your fleet right before docking \\ \\ * Before you undock, check your **HAIR** - * **H**ostiles in local? * **A**mmo in your cargo hold? * **I**nsurance for your ship? * **R**epaired your armour/hull/drones? {{tag>DojoFixMe general article intro all english}}
