Hello all,

After a short hiatus from gaming I'm back and attempting to dual-box Eve Online. My main is a Marauder flying damage dealer and my alt is an fledgling support pilot. Without further ado here are some screenshots of what I managed to put together this evening:

Main unbusy:

802

Alt unbusy:

803

Main busy:

804

Alt busy:

805

Main elements revealed:

806

Alt elements revealed:

807


As you can no doubt tell from the above I'm attempting to control 2 characters from one small-ish screen (1600x900). My goal is for near-complete control during tactical situations. My biggest hurdle at the moment is the new targeting HUD elements. I'm already missing the old, boxier, HUD elements that took up a lot less space. I ran out of time to test this is set up in a mission but I would like to hear your thoughts and ideas all the same. I've already thought of some ways I can improve but I believe the 'main idea' will remain the same.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Sorry for ugly-ing up the screen shots with all the white boxes. :)

To Do List:
Set up overviews
Turn off FPS meter
Slowly increase graphics until laptop explodes

From what I've seen of EVE + isboxer it's whatever works for you. In missions I liked having just my dps targets + guns + overview of my dps alt available on my main screen so I had the highest dps uptime I could have. I was able to squeeze 4 toons onto one screen (drones/guns/ship stats/targets/overview for each), but you couldn't see anything else on the screen really which doesn't work well for pvp.

Not sure the resolution, but it seems to be extremely common for people to visit the IS Boxer Eve sub-forum and ask how to disable Mouse Repeater for one window at a time.
So that might be something to look into, if you're boxing Eve.
