DOTLAN -
the EVE mapping/routing tool.
EVEEYE Explorer also exists, but isn't my cuppa
zKillboard ★ - shows most of EVE's
killmails. handy for pilfering fits, finding NPC Sotiyos, checking sus characters' histories, etc
EVE Battle Report Tool used with zKB to produce in-depth breakdowns of battles (the 5 tabs up top beginning with "Involved" are very useful)
eve-o-preview ★ - EVE multiboxing client manager (eases management of multiple instances of EVE)
Tripwire ★ - wormhole chain mapping tool.
Pathfinder ★ and
GalaxyFinder and
Wanderer ★ are alternatives
Short Circuit ★ - used with Tripwire as a quicker way to find direct routes between systems (and merges EVE-Scout's data with your own wormhole entries)
EVE Gatecamp Check - easily check if you're likely to be smartbombed/tackled en route (note: you can still be the unlucky first victim on some route, so remain wary)
Slazanger's Map Tool aka SMT ★ - useful mapping/routing/intel program
see also the
RIFT Intel Fusion Tool, which is like SMT on steroids (I don't use RIFT as I'm loathe to trust goons with my ESIs, but it's open source; your call)
Janice Junk Evaluator - paste in a list of ships/mods/materials and see what it's worth (note: low-volume stuff will have unreliable pricing)
pyfa ★ - make, tweak, compare and test ship fits out of the game and push them into the game
see also
Theorycrafter, which is arguably nicer, and has inspectable source (but isn't open)
EVE Market Browser - the best browser interface to EVE's market I've found.
EVE Tycoon also exists but looks a bit different, and also provides an API
mutaplasmid.space - tracks abyssal module contracts (note also the roll calculator)
evetrade.space - an arbitrage tool for traders with
hauling competence. another is
eve-trading.net
jEveAssets ★ - if you've got loads of stuff spread across umpteen accounts and want to locate something specific quickly and easily, this tool is for you
EVE University wiki ★ - lots of info about most aspects of play (make sure it's up-to-date if it's critical)
EVEMON - tool for various things, I use it only to make skill plans and purchase lists for characters (these can be simply pasted into the game)
Fuzzwork.co.uk - Steve Ronuken's smorgasbord of tools & resources (n.b. his
market API and his
packaged dumps of the SDE)
EVE Ref - the most readable quick reference site I've found
EVE University wiki - a huge sprawling EVE resource, some of it up-to-date and useful, some of it outdated or just flat wrong (I especially like
the EVE Lexicon page)
Kismeteer's EVE Wiki - another smorgasbord of varying quality, but it has a real gem in
the Vet page, which lists major updates for returning players
Adam4EVE - well-presented market & industry info (n.b. the
Contract price/volume history search)
Calavoow's asset safety list/search tool ★ - find the systems to which asset safety punts items
Larenon en Marland's Station Cyno Placement Guide - old, but still good as of 2020. these spots double as excellent
instadock bookmark spots
Abyss Loot Tracker ★ - fits, guides, and run tracking for
Abyssal Deadspace running
Ravworks - various industry planning tools
cerlestes' Ore value breakdowns
