    Default New ISBoxer user looking for comments/suggestions. (Eve Online)

    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:

    Alt unbusy:

    Alt busy:

    Main elements revealed:

    Alt elements revealed:

    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.
    I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

    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.
