Desktop overlay new · PC

Kills on your route, danger nearby and the whole map, in a separate window on top of the EVE client. No alt-tab, no second screen, and the game itself is not touched.

Compact overlay over the client in Jita: system, kills, nearby systems by danger and the minimap
Expanded overlay: the map of New Eden with region names and activity

What you get

A transparent window over the game for each pilot, showing what you would otherwise look up on a second screen. You decide what it shows, row by row.

  • Kills on your route as they happen: a line, a pulse on the minimap and a sound, so you see the camp before you jump into it
  • Gate camp warnings for the systems ahead
  • Kills, NPC kills, jumps and hostiles in your system at a glance, hostiles from your intel channels within the jumps you set
  • Nearby systems coloured by kills, NPC kills, security or danger, around you or along your route
  • System state under the system name: sovereignty, faction warfare, incursions and insurgencies
  • Route cubes like in the game, a route per pilot, and shortest, safest or less secure in one click; the game follows the route
  • Expanded mode: the whole map with system and region search, hover any system for its jumps and kills
  • Jump range from where you are, with your Jump Drive Calibration and a quick pick of 6, 7, 8 or 10 ly
  • Presets for Hunter, Hauler, Krab and Compact, or build your own

The overlay is a separate window on top of the game. Nothing is injected into the client, and nothing reads its memory, your screen or your keys.

Access needed

Grant these to a pilot to get their overlay:

  • Location and ship — Where the pilot is, the ship and online status
  • Fleet and waypoints — Sends the route into the game
  • Clones and implants — Jump range from the pilot's skills

You pick the areas when you log a pilot in and can add more later on the Access screen. How access works →

How to turn it on

  1. Open Settings → Overlay on the PC
  2. Switch the overlay on for each pilot you want; the window opens by itself when that pilot is online
  3. Pick a preset or turn rows on and off in the constructor
  4. Press Place overlays, drag each window where you want it over the game, then Done
  5. Set the opacity and the background to taste

While you play

Header buttons — click-through, collapse to a single bar, expanded map, lock and hide. Hidden stays hidden until you show it again in Settings.

Click-through — your clicks go straight to the game. On Windows Ctrl+Shift+O switches it on and off.

Routes — right-click a system on the map and pick Set destination: the route shows in the overlay and goes into the game. This needs click-through off. Shortest, Safest and Less secure rebuild it, and you clear it from the header.

Jump range — turn it on above the expanded map. It shows what is in range, one gate further and out of range from your pilot's system; the gear next to it changes the origin.

Multiboxing — one window per pilot. Turn on Hide when the client is covered, and each overlay shows only while its client is on screen.
