EVE Scanning: D-Scan, Probe Scanner & Probes
Use d-scan to check what is around you without launching probes. Use the Probe Scanner with core probes to locate cosmic signatures such as relic, data, wormhole, and other scannable sites.

Help & EVE Knowledge
Exploration, Relic Sites & Data Sites
Exploration uses probe scanning to find cosmic signatures, then analyzers to hack relic or data containers for loot. It is one of the easiest careers to begin with a small inexpensive frigate.
Hacking Relic and Data Containers
After you scan a relic or data site, approach a container, activate the correct analyzer, and complete the hacking minigame by finding and destroying the system core.
Overview, Local Chat & Situational Awareness
Your Overview shows objects and pilots on grid; Local shows who is in the system where local is available. Together with d-scan, they are your basic awareness tools.
Bookmarks, Safe Spots & Travel Marks
Bookmarks save locations in space. They are used for safe spots, gate perches, instant-dock/undock locations, wormhole entrances, tactical positions, and repeated work sites.
High-Sec, Low-Sec, Null-Sec & Wormhole Space
EVE space has different security rules. High-sec has CONCORD response, low-sec has limited empire enforcement, null-sec has no CONCORD protection, and wormholes have their own local-chat and travel risks.
Warp Bubbles & Interdiction
Warp disruption bubbles are area effects used mainly in null-sec and wormhole space to stop or alter warps. They are a major reason null-sec travel requires different habits than high-sec travel.
Ship Fittings: High, Mid, Low Slots & Rigs
A ship fit is the combination of modules, rigs, ammunition, drones, and charges installed for a specific job. Fits work best when they have one clear purpose.
Capacitor, Module Activation & Overheating
Capacitor is your ship’s energy pool for many active modules. If your capacitor reaches zero, modules that require capacitor can shut off and your escape options may disappear.
Shield, Armor & Hull Tanking
Tanking is how a fit survives damage. Most ships focus primarily on shield or armor rather than trying to maximize every defense layer at once.
Drones: Launching, Controlling & Recalling
Drones are small controlled craft launched from a drone bay. They can deal damage, mine, repair, jam, salvage, or perform other specialized roles depending on type.
Mining Basics: Ore, Lasers, Holds & Safety
Mining means locking an asteroid, activating a mining laser or strip miner, and moving the ore into a hold or fleet workflow. The real skill is doing it efficiently without ignoring safety.
Ore Compression & Reprocessing
Compression reduces the hauling volume of many resources without turning them into minerals. Reprocessing converts ore or other materials into their refined outputs and can lose value if your yield or location is poor.
Market: Buy Orders, Sell Orders & Regional Pricing
Sell orders offer items at a price; buy orders offer ISK for items. EVE markets are regional, so price and availability can change dramatically from one trade hub or region to another.
Contracts & Courier Contracts
Contracts move items or ISK between pilots outside the normal market. Courier contracts package cargo for delivery and use collateral to protect the owner if the package is not delivered.
Hauling, Cargo Volume & Collateral
A hauling job is limited by route, cargo volume, ship capacity, risk, reward, and collateral. The cheapest route is not always the safest route.
Industry & Manufacturing Basics
Manufacturing turns blueprint requirements plus materials into finished items. Your real cost includes materials, job fees, time, location, hauling, and any missing intermediate components.
Blueprints: BPOs, BPCs, ME & TE
A Blueprint Original (BPO) can be researched and reused. A Blueprint Copy (BPC) has a limited number of runs. ME affects material use; TE affects manufacturing time.
Planetary Industry (PI) Basics
Planetary Industry extracts and processes resources on planets through command centers, extractor heads, processors, storage, and launch facilities.
Fleets, Wings, Squads & Broadcasts
Joining a fleet gives pilots shared organization, broadcasts, boosts, warp commands, and other coordination tools. Fleet discipline matters more as the operation becomes more dangerous.
Skills, Skill Queue & Training Plans
Skills train in real time. A good plan trains what you need to fly and fit your next useful ship instead of chasing every skill to level V immediately.
Ship Loss, Insurance & Replacement
Ships in EVE are consumable tools. When a ship explodes, the hull and most fitted assets are gone; some modules or cargo may drop as loot.
Wormholes: Connections, Polarization & No Normal Local
Wormholes are temporary connections with limited mass and lifetime. Local chat does not work like normal known-space local, so d-scan and probes become critical.
Null-Sec Survival, Intel & NBSI
Null-sec has no CONCORD protection. Survival depends on local/intel awareness, standings, safe travel habits, fleet communication, and understanding bubbles and gate threats.
Common EVE Terms & Acronyms
EVE players use a lot of shorthand. If a fleet or guide uses a term you do not recognize, search it here rather than guessing during an operation.
