The Frontier is a vast and rugged expanse. To help you navigate its challenging environment, the game offers a range of features designed to support you on your journey.
The Main HUD
Tutorial Overview
On the top-left corner of your screen, you'll find your Tutorial Overview. This panel tracks your progression through the tutorial, showing completed objectives and upcoming tasks. From here, you can either Skip or Restart your Tutorial at any time.
Chat Channel
On the top-right corner of your screen, you'll find your Chat Channels. You can check your Local, Corp, and Personal conversations here. The tabbed interface lets you switch between channels easily, and system messages keep you informed of important events like channel changes.
Flight Management
In the middle of the screen, you'll find your Ship's Velocity Vector, along with your Pitch Angle and Yaw Angle, these determine the direction and angle your ship is traveling through the void. The vertical bar on the left ranges from MAX down to 0 M/S, with your current velocity burning orange under forward thrust and shifting to white when reversing.
Capacitor Meter
On the bottom-right corner, above your Hardpoint Slots, you'll find your Capacitor Meter, which shows how much capacitor your ship currently has. When the capacitor runs out, your ship won't be able to perform actions such as mining, shooting, or using the afterburner.
Hardpoint Slots
Just below your Capacitor Meter are the Hardpoint Slots; numbered 1 through 6. This is where you equip your Scanners, Cutting Laser, and projectile weapons. You can activate modules by clicking their slot or using customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Note: Warping consumes Capacitor energy, which is restored using fuel; so always carry enough before heading out to explore or cause chaos.
Jettison
Jettison allows you to eject any item from your ship inventory out into space. Head over to the inventory tab, right-click on the item, and select Jettison. This proves useful for temporary storage or transferring items to other pilots.
