Initial Setup

Linking Your Characters

To connect your EVE character to PYFA you will need to use CCP's ESI SSO.

To do this:

  1. Open the SSO Character Management screen (Character -> Manage ESI Characters).
  2. Create a new character by clicking Add Character.
  3. A page will open in your default browser - sign in using your EVE Online account credentials.
  4. Select the correct character from the list.
  5. Click Authorise.

If you are using a Mac, Mac OS security prevents the redirect back to the local server. In order to authenticate your characters, you'll need to manually copy your token.

To do this:

  1. Open the Pyfa Preferences window (Pyfa -> Preferences).
  2. Click on the EVE SSO tab.
  3. In the Local Authentication section, choose Manual rather than Local Server
  4. Dismiss the Preferences window
  5. Open the SSO Character Management screen (Character -> Manage ESI Characters).
  6. Create a new character by clicking Add Character.
  7. A page will open in your default browser - sign in using your EVE Online account credentials.
  8. Select the correct character from the list.
  9. Click Authorize.
  10. The web browser will redirect to a page that says "Please copy and paste the token below into pyfa.""
  11. Copy the ESI token from the web page
  12. Switch back to Pyfa, paste the token into the SSO Login box and click OK. You might not see this box because it launches underneath the SSO Character Management window. Simply drag the SSO Character management window out of the way and you should now see the SSO login box.

Settings

You should change your settings to match the images below. General settings are mostly personal preference, however the network settings are required for PYFA to query EVE-Central for prices.

To change settings go to Global -> Preferences or press Ctrl - P.

Damage Profiles

Copy the following into the damage pattern editor by selecting all the damage patterns, and copy them into your clipboard. Then inside of PYFA under the editors tab select the damage pattern editor. You will be prompted to name your new profile, hit OK. At the bottom right hand side there will be 2 buttons. Select the one that says import from clipboard. From now on you will be able to select the type of incoming damage and you can change your fit accordingly. (The Law damage profile is CONCORD Response.)
