EVE Tools Suite vs Pyfa
Pyfa (Python Fitting Assistant) has been the reference EVE Online fitting simulator for years. EVE Tools Suite includes a Fit Workshop, but its philosophy differs: one tool among fifteen, not a dedicated simulator. Here's the honest comparison.
What Pyfa does better
- The most complete, precise simulation: layered EHP, detailed cap, projected effects, drone/links, implant & booster modules.
- Very fast updates after each balance patch.
- Mature, free, open-source, adopted by the entire theorycrafting community.
What EVE Tools Suite does better
- Auto-generates a fit from a hull + role (Pyfa starts from a blank slate).
- Fitting is just one of 15 tools: industry, market, mining, intel, skills — all under one shell.
- An online version (Loss Analyzer) reads a killmail with nothing to install.
Verdict
For deep theorycrafting, Pyfa is still unbeatable — keep it. EVE Tools Suite is for those who want to quickly analyze/generate a fit inside a suite that covers everything else in the game.
