As there are no toolbars etc., where is all the functionality hiding?
A Apart from the pull-down menus at the top of the window, EVE achieves enormous functionality by means of mouse right-button-click on an element. This will pop-up a properties box for the element that has all the configurability that you will need for that element. This properties box is context-sensitive, meaning that you see the exact options needed, nothing irrelevant.
