Settings Changes

There are several default settings for your eve client that do not work well with involvement in corporations or eve communities. Changing these settings will make playing the game and interacting with others easier. The first thing you want to do is remove cspa charges. These charges force players to pay isk to invite you into a chat or fleet. These charges are annoying and will upset other members of your corporation. Outside of the corporation, people will not invite you to chats or fleets if these charges are active.



To change this setting, go into your eve mail tab. In the upper left hand corner you will see 4 horizontal lines click this to access the settings menu. In the field next to CSPA charge type in 0.

The next settings that need to be changed  can be accessed by hitting the escape key and opening the settings window. In this page select the general settings tab. In the general section click the show session-change timer box. Also, In the inflight section set the auto target back to 0 targets. Clicking the box to show the session change timer, does that. It gives you a visual representation of the time you have left before you can induce another session change. A session change includes Docking, undocking, jumping through a stargate, or switching ships while in space (this includes when your ship is destroyed). The current session change timer in eve lasts 10 seconds. Changing the auto target back setting allows you to make sure you do not accidentally shoot someone who you didnt mean to. This is especially important with the new changes in retribution. With this changed to 0 you must manually control who you are targeting.

Identifying the Session Change Timer:

The session change timer is an important icon which alerts you to how long a session change is in effect.

The session change timer is a small circular icon that appears on the upper left hand of your screen when you undock or jump through a gate. It “unwinds” as the session change winds down. Remember, while you are in a session change you cannot dock or jump. Knowing when you can dock/jump and when you can’t, can get you stuck and killed in a situation you could have gotten out of.
