People & Places

This is your navigation box across the universe. Here you will find your bookmarks, see if your buddies are online, and search for locations.

Search

The search will allow you look for characters, corporations, asteroid belts, solar systems, constellations, and regions. The most frequently used function is searching for a solar system to set the autopilot, and is accomplished by the following steps:

Make sure Solar System is selected in the drop down menu.

Select Places, type in at least the first 3 letters of name of the solar system and press Search.

This will display a new dialog box. You can now right click on the solar system and select Set Destination.

If you are in space, just press the Autopilot button on the Control Panel; if you are in a station, first exit the station and then press the Autopilot button. Keep in mind, though, that piloting the ship yourself will make the journey quicker and safer. Also, using autopilot in low security space is not recommended, as pirates can easily attack your ship while you are not paying attention.

Buddies

You can add any users to your buddy list (even your enemies), and see when they log on and off. When anyone in your buddy list logs on or off, a small box with his or her name and character picture will appear in the lower right corner on the screen. To add someone to your buddy list, follow these steps:

Drag a name from the Chat window directly into the buddy list, or right click on a character and click Add to Addressbook.

You can also search for the character by typing the name of the character in People and Places and pressing Search. Don't forget to select character instead of Solar System in your options. Once the character is found, drag the name of the user from the search results window into the Buddy list or simply right click on the character and press Add to Addressbook.

If you have organized your buddies into folders, drag the name you want to add so that a white line appears ABOVE the folder in which you want it placed.

Agents

This will list all agents you have done work for. For more information about agents, please refer to missions guide

Corp Members

This shows the list of member(s) in your corporation. If you are a director, you will also see a button on the bottom that will allow you to send a group mail to everyone in the corporation.

Blocked

You can block users (right mouse click, and select Communicate - Block) so that they cannot communicate with you in any way. You will not see their posts in the chat, nor will they be able to send you EVE mail or be able to private message you. This box will show you who you have blocked. To unblock, right click and select Communicate - Unblock.

Places

This is a list of your bookmarks. If you find a station with good prices on Zydrine, for instance, press the Add Bookmark button while in that station to add that it to your bookmarks. Bookmarks are heavily used by experienced players, who have found ingenious ways of using them for all types of things.

To give an example, it would be a good idea to use a bookmark if you are often mining at the same belt. You can bookmark that spot, so that when you warp to the bookmark from the station, you will stop right over the spot at which you want to be.

Please note that bookmarks are stored on the EVE Server, but the bookmark folders are stored on the client PC. If you log on to EVE through another PC, you will have access to your bookmarks, but not your folders.
