Some Frequently Asked Questions

War? War? What does that mean to me?
When Eve University is at war, the Ivy League Navy takes control and implements the War Time Policy.

You should read the Wartime Checklist to make sure you are ready for war.

The basics are explained below:

  • What is a wardec? It means you can and will get shot in any system of any security level and anytime without repercussions.
  • What are the uni wartime rules? No mining, no hauling, no missioning, no ratting, no flying around without permission.
  • When can I undock? Basic rule: If there's no lockdown and there are no wartargets in local you can undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). Contact an intel coordinator (check bulletins) and ask if it's safe for you to travel to Aldrat. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.
  • What is a lockdown? ILN officers ranked Captain or higher have the ability to order a "lockdown", which means NOBODY is allowed to undock from any station or any system in Eve unless you have permission or are in/joining a combat fleet. DO NOT undock until you get orders from your Fleet Commander to undock from the specific station you are located in. Lockdowns are usually posted in Alliance mail. Make sure you read your mails (both corp/alliance) when you log in to know if there's a lockdown active at a given moment in time. "I missed the mail" is no excuse for losing your ship during a lockdown.
  • Isn't that boring? Yes, in most cases war and lockdowns are boring and you might be in station for quite a long time without doing anything. Rest assured that these rules have been developed over a period of five years and are in your best interests!
  • What happens if I break these rules? Depending on what you did you'll get either a very unpleasant conversation with a director or just be kicked from the Uni for the duration of the war.


How do the classes and events work?
Classes and events are posted in the forums by an instructor or organiser in the Events & Education forum. They can also be seen on the out-of-game calendar, as well as the in-game corp calendar, which can be found by clicking the button at the bottom left of your game window, beneath the Undock icon on your neocom. The in-game calendar can also be used to confirm or decline attendance.

Most classes are presented by voice using TeamSpeak. They may involve working as a fleet and may require you to be logged in. The chat channel class.e-uni is used for questions, links and other text based feedback.


Apparently I should get a 'jump clone'. What are they, and where can I get them?
All pilots in Eve have a 'medical clone' which acts as a 'respawn point' when your capsule or 'pod' is destroyed.

There is a second type of clone you may purchase, known as a jump clone, which is a spare body for your pilot where, when docked, you can 'jump' your consciousness into the jump clone, wherever it is in Eve, and then use it as you would your previous body. Your previous body then becomes a jump clone which you can return to in the same way.

Additional details and locations for corporate jump clone services can be found in the Jump Clone Guide.


Everyone is saying o/ or o7, what do they mean?
o/ is a person waving hello or goodbye. o7 is a person saluting. There is also a handy lexicon on the wiki which contains a list of the common acronyms and terms used in Eve.


Where can I ask questions?
When you are in game, most questions can be answered by other members in the "Chat.E-Uni" channel, and out of game you can post questions on the forums, which are very well frequented by both current members and former members.

A more detailed list of available chat channels and mailing lists is available in the corporate bulletins.


The University is a large corporation, how do I meet fellow members with similar interests?
The first place to look would be in various chat channels. Exploration.E-UNI is the channel for exploration, from scanning to wormholes. Industry.E-UNI is the channel mining, research, production and marketing. Missions.E-UNI is the channel for mission runners and the standings fleet. Command.ILN is the channel for PVPers and those interested in fleet command.

There are also different channels on our Teamspeak server. There is a general chat channel, and various other channels for exploration, industry, mission, and fleet operations.

If you are a female gamer, feel free to check out the Sisters in Eve forum.


I have negative standing with the Amarr/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar faction, is that going to be a problem?
If your standings with an empire faction go below -5, you will not be able to enter their space without being shot. We usually recommend declining empire faction kill missions to avoid being in this situation. Having -5 or below standings with an empire faction can cause problems during war fleets, lowsec patrols, wormhole ops, and many other circumstances.

When you have -2 or below standing with a faction, only the Level 1 Quality 0 agents and below will be available to grind standings, which could be a lengthy process.

You can check mission information before accepting or declining on Eve Survival.


Should I join the militia?
The Advanced Warfare tutorial gives a Letter of Recommendation which new players can use to join the militia without having to grind standings. However, if you join the NPC militia, or any other player-run Faction Warfare corporation, you will no longer be a member of Eve University.

Is there anything else I should know about?
If you haven't done so already, check out the Getting Started In Eve Online page.

You might want to look at our Tips & Tricks page for miscellaneous advice on a variety of subjects.

General information about our services can be found in the Eve University Consolidated Information page.
