Krall it is because your overview isn’t set up right. You want to open your overview settings, then go to Tab Presents. Scroll down to Celestial and click on Harvestable Cloud. Lots of players create a dedicated mining tab which shows the kinds of objects you need to see while mining. This article [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Overview\_Guide](https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Overview_Guide) gives some good information.

Uh, NEVER minimize Overview! You can fly and fight without grid and space view, but never without overview.

Yeah they’re correct dude. The overview is the single most important window on screen. If you want I can send you across my overview profile (transferable overview settings).
