Intro to EVE
Wormhole Stuff

External Resources
Arranged basically according to my own frequency of use, with a star ★ indicating free and open-source software.
Much more comprehensive lists are maintained by by CCP and by EVE University.
- 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. old but still maintained. as of January 30 2025, I'm aware of 5 other tools, listed at the bottom of my wormhole primer
- 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)
- shiplist.space - Sven Bauer's lovely filterable list of ships & their attributes
- 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
- Ra'zok's Turret Ammo Type Overview does what it says on the tin, as does Mazzik Karde's Visual Weapon Identification Guide
- MutaMarket - tracks abyssal module contracts, creates appraisals, has an excellent roll calculator
- 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 info which, like my own, varies in quality. 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
- EVE-WebTools PI visualization - check component chains for Planetary Industry
- T Sky's Faction Warfare Frigate Yearbook 2024 - deep-dive into the frigate meta in FW
- Furl0w's 2024 Faction Warfare Navy Destroyer Metagame Guide - deep-dive into the Navy dessie meta in FW
Recommended Services
I'm unaffiliated with these, and again, use them at your own risk.
- EVE Scout - a public Thera & Turnur mapping service provided by the Signal Cartel and their associates
- Storm Tracker - shows where the 8 wandering Metaliminal Storms currently are (also provided by Signal Cartel)
- the two Electrical storms are of particular concern, since they prevent cloaking
- I've used all three of these pro hauling services over the years with no issues, but always use reasonable collateral: GHSOL - PushX - Red Frog
- WINGSPAN's Wormhole Location Services - get any wormhole located for a reasonable fee
- United Standings Improvement Agency - they grind standings for ISK which is nice for standings-gated alts, e.g.: traders, locators, mission pullers
- Bookmark Barn and Jet-Perches - cheap tactical bookmark packs for every region of the game
- note: members of corporations and alliances may internally sell access to BM backs; those are probably a bit more secure than the above
Also, for those of you insisting that this or that ship ought to be made symmetrical: symmetry is insipid. Embrace chaos!
If you hateful proportionality-peddling goobs touch my delightfully-derpy kickstand Imicus/Helios, I'll start flinging poo.
