EVE Online YAML overview builder

Spax Overview Generator

Generate importable overview packs for travel, combat, mining, hauling, salvage, PvE and gank-awareness, including coloured tabs plus EVE colortag/background appearance rules.

Import path Documents/EVE/Overview Then import from Overview Settings → Misc.

Pack settings

High-sec friendly: red/orange threat backgrounds, blues visible as blue, fleet/corp/alliance kept readable.

Combat, Targets and Hauler Threats already hide common friendly/blue states. This option keeps that behaviour explicit when presets are extended.

Install in EVE

  1. Click Download YAML.
  2. Put the file in Documents/EVE/Overview. If that folder does not exist, export your current overview once from the client and EVE will create it.
  3. In EVE: open Overview Settings → Misc → Import Overview Settings.
  4. Select the generated YAML and use Check All if you want every preset imported.

Do not treat any generated pack as magic safety. Test on an alt or docked first, then tweak the tabs in-game for your doctrine.
