Overview Scanner
The Overview Scanner is a complete item overview and operation panel for all items around you, including your enemies, gang members, and your drones.
The Overview Scanner is split into 4 sections.
Selecting Items
When you click on anything in the Overview section, that item is displayed in the Selected Items section, and there you can click on any of the action buttons associated with that item. For instance, if you click on a ship, you can click on approach, orbit, maintain distance, look at, target, convo, and so on.
The options are different for each item category you click on so you should familiarize yourself with each one.
The Overview displays what is in the approximate area around your ship, like other players' ships, cargo containers, etc. It can also display things that are far away, like Complex Beacons, Stargates, Stations, etc.
Overview - Add and Remove Items
To control which items are displayed, you can click on the five bars in front of Overview and select Type Selector. From there you select from a range of items you want to display. You can also right mouse click on items in space and items in your Overview display, then select Remove from Overview. Using the same technique, you can right mouse click on items in space and select Add xx to Overview.
Indicators
The overview display uses a new set of indicators that give you much better sense of what is happening around you. Here is a list of what each means:
| Indicator | Meaning |
| White brackets | A player's ship. |
| Yellow blinking | The entity has targeted you. |
| Red blinking brackets | The entity is firing at you. |
| White blinking > < | You have targeted the item and it is the selected item. |
| White non-blinking > < | You have targeted the item and it is not the selected item. |
| Yellow Background | The owner has a negative standing but you cannot freely attack him or her. |
| Red Background | The owner is either an outlaw or has committed a crime, and may be freely attacked. |
| Red crosses | An NPC ship. The size of the cross determines which class of ship that NPC is flying. |
Gang Window
This shows you who is in your gang. Clicking on a gang member will activate a number of gang features in the Selected Items category.
Drones Window
Gives you access to your drones, both in your drone bay and those in space.
