It is a joint venture that is designed to give newer and older players the chance to work together and enjoy various aspects of the game while making a reasonable profit. | ||
The project includes joint and solo fleets that allow characters to mine, rat, and haul for a purpose other than missions or PvP. Additionally, it provides a paid output for minerals and ore in region to help local players from needing to run to major hubs for item sales. | The project includes joint and solo fleets that allow characters to mine, rat, and haul for a purpose other than missions or PvP.

The easiest way to get involved is to drop into Solitude.E-Uni chat and ask if anyone is running an "Archon" Fleet. Additionally, the Solitude Project has began the Solitude Standing Fleet, a fleet designed along the lines of [[Archive:Operation: Fortress|Operation: Fortress]], to provide operational security, quick response, and ease the task of finding fleet members for any aspect of the game. | ||

# [[Mining | # [[Archive:Mining fleets#Mining Fleets|Shared Can Mining Fleets]] are held periodically. These fleets are designed to help the newer players make ISK and contribute to the project. The tracking sheet is a custom edition of the [[Archive:Mining operations worksheet|standard AMC Shared Can Spreadsheet]], so anyone with practice using that will know the basics of [[Archive:Mining fleets#Running a mining fleet|running an op]]. These fleets can be in High, Low, Null or WH space and not only do they include mining, but also any loot from running combat or exploration sites nearby, and payments for the [[Archive:Mining fleets#Participating as a Picket / Scout|scouts]], fleet security detail, [[Archive:Mining fleets#Participating as a Hauler|haulers]] and salvagers. | ||
#[[Mission | #[[Mission fleets#Locust Fleet|Locust]] and [[Mission fleets#Spider Fleet|Spider]] Fleets: Since salvage components are required to manufacture the rigs, even mission runners can collect and contribute. Running a few missions with a [[Salvaging|salvager]] along can generate salvage, and with the help of reprocessing, even the modules can be donated when broken down into minerals. | ||
# [[ | # [[Exploration]] Fleets: With high-sec relic sites being full of T1 salvage, getting a group of exploration frigates together makes running these quick and easy. While not all of the salvage is needed for the project, some of the higher value salvage can only be obtained this way due to the rats seen in Solitude Space. | ||
