Welcome to EVE University
From UniWiki
Hello & Welcome to Eve University!
By joining EVE Online's premier learning institution, you have taken one of the many steps to becoming successful in New Eden.
Your First Steps in Eve University
These important first steps should not be ignored by new University pilots, and should be completed as soon as possible.
First: A reminder about our chat channels and their uses
- "Corp" chat tab is used to request skillbook reimbursement, hangar requests, etc. This is also where questions about university policies or clarifications about where to ask should go.
- "Alliance" chat tab is for fleet formation. You should only be typing in Alliance to form or join a fleet. To understand how fleets are formed in alliance please read The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops. If you still have questions please ask them in corp chat.
- Chat.E-UNI is the general chat channel for the university. Questions about fleets, fleet formation or Wartime SOP should not be asked there but should instead be asked in Corp chat.
- Other channels can be found here Chat Channels and Mailing Lists.
Step 1: Bookmark these Pages
- Bookmark these sites for future reference in the In-Game Browser (IGB) or your favorite browser.
Step 2: Introduce Yourself
- Note: This step may not be possible for applicants relocating to Aldrat or awaiting role cool down until you are fully accepted into the University
- Navigate to: Hi and Bye forum
- Make a post in the Hi and Bye forum and let us know you better.
- This is a requirement to obtain the Freshman status.
Step 3: Set Up Voice Communications
- Read: Install and Setup Mumble
- A crucial step in attending classes and participating in official university operations (ie. Fleets).
Step 4: Understand Our Rules
- Read: EVE University Rules & Wartime Standard Operating Procedures
- You are expected to read, understand, and follow all Rules at all times, and the WSOP when the university is at war.
Step 5: Configuring the Ship Overview
- Read: Overview Guide.
- Configuring your overview to the University standard is a great learning process about your overview.
- University Standard Overviews are required for fleet operations.
- The other thing required for fleet operations is reading and understanding the The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops
Step 6: Check Corporation/Alliance Bulletins
- Find: In Game NeoCom > Corporation Button > Home Tab
- Corporation Bulletins are found under the Home Tab.
- Alliance Bulletins are found under the Alliances Tab.
- You'll find our passwords under the alliances bulletins.
Step 7: Coming to Aldrat
- Moving In: Once you have settled in, a lot of Unistas tend to move into the Metropolis region, or Aldrat itself. You do not have to move here - you can usually attend classes from anywhere in the galaxy - however the corp hangars are located here and this is where most of our practical activities take place.
- Be mindful when travelling with cargo haulers - especially when moving through low security (0.1 - 0.4) and null security (0.0) systems.
- DO NOT go AFK at gates in such systems - they are very dangerous and there is a high likelihood you will lose your possessions.
- TIP: If you set 'Aldrat' as your Autopilot destination, you can adjust the Autopilot settings to avoid low and null security systems - while the journey may be a little longer, it will be a lot safer. You can access Autopilot settings by opening your Map screen [F10] and then selecting the Autopilot tab > Settings.
Step 8: Review the Consolidated Information Page
- Please take the time to review the page: Eve University Consolidated Information.
- It is meant to introduce you to the programs & information you'll need to get the most out of your time at the University.
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:
|
| 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.
You can also find this calendar on EVE Gate, where you can view EVE University events and confirm attendance without logging in to the game. You can also check your eve-mail there! Most classes are presented by voice using Mumble. 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 and incursion runners. Mess.ILN is the channel for PVPers and those interested in fleet command.
There are also different channels on our Mumble server. There is the Public Lounge, various on-demand channels which users can create, and fleet operation channels. 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 agents 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.
