This is my setup.

I'll explain a bit further, too.

Most importantly in EVE is your overview. I have mine setup so I can see all of the brackets on my overviews, just to make sure they are aligned, and to ensure they are all in the same system, etc at a glance. Also works for targeting etc.

The HUDs I have stacked next to their modules, so I can activate mods easily. The huds are interactive, so if I click on them, the pilot associated with the HUD broadcasts for reps. The overview bracket windows are also interactive, so if I click on them, they will also broadcast for reps. This is important in two different ways.

Typically in PvE, all rats or sleepers will target one ship, and in a C5 or C6 wormhole, this gives you precious seconds to call for reps in a fleet. Since you can see who is being yellow boxed, and anticipate damage from the overviews, it's very nice to be ahead of the DPS, and be able to have your logi support or RR ships start locking you just behind the rats / sleepers. This results in much faster reps on your ships, cna can equate to fewer losses.

On the HUD side, it's often the case in PvP where ships will target multiple hostiles and apply DPS as a group to only one of them out of many. For this reason, the HUDs provide situationally better information on who needs reps and how urgently. You might have a BS and a Cruiser being yellow boxed, but you will know that the cruiser will require reps much sooner than the BS, and it's harder to lock it on your logi. The Hud can also show you how much of the DPS is being focused on one toon, as opposed to the overviews, which onyl relay information about who is being shot, does not help as much to find out who is taking more damage. (unless of course you have a Dread targeting your ship, always keep your overview organized to see the biggest threats at the top, or they could be lost in a huge battle, and you may miss th fact that a dread is about to blap your MWD BS or BC.

I'm not finished with my UI yet, and I have two computers, with a scout / recon on the other monitor, making it easier to scout with 2 characters effectively or Logi on one minitor and DPS on another.

All-in-all I am way happy with how easy it is to box EVE, less so about how easy it is to find fights when everyone knows you are going to drop ishtars on them

Props go to Lord's Servant, who even though I don't fly with him any more, I am grateful to him and his corp for the help they gave me, training me for my life in a WH.

Morg, yes I am back in WH. I had to take a long month and a half AFG because of RL stuff, and I wasn't able to train much, but we joined a great WH corp, and have room for more, if you are interested in applying

Fly it like you stole it.
