The '''Averon Mining Campus''' was founded to provide EVE University students with the opportunity to learn how to mine efficiently and safely.  

Our mission includes giving advice for solo mining and providing organized fleet operations. The '''Averon Mining Campus''' enables a cooperative effort in mining operations and educates its members about the most basic and fundamental activity in EVE Online - without which you wouldn’t have your ships - [[Mining|mining]].

You will learn how to [[Mining_Yield|maximize your productivity]] in a supportive environment when in [[#Shared Can (SC)|Shared Cans]], and can frequently enjoy ‘boosts’ provided by other AMC members in [[#Bring Your Own Can (BYOC)|Bring Your Own Can]] operations. Members will also have the opportunity to get used to managing [[AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|spreadsheets]] to help keep track of mining fleets, and how to arrange their own. Our members aim to be helpful and engaging, helping with more advanced topics along the way, making the AMC an ideal place to practice mining, industry and research.

==Background==

==Leadership==

The Averon Mining Campus is currently managed by:  

*''Alpha GoreSnorkel'' (Officer)

*''Byron Thani'' (Officer)

*''Edswifa Rova'' (Officer)

*''Octavius Augustinus'' (Officer)

*''Samsam James'' (Officer)

*''Spanktracula'' (Officer)

*''William Archer'' (Officer)

==Joining the Averon Mining Campus==

The AMC is looking for EVE University members with an interest and a desire to invest in mining in the long term. This ranges from mining in ore and ice belts, ore anomalies and moons in our systems, to operating in wormholes - covertly harvesting gas in unknown space. All current members of EVE University are welcome to join us. Head on down to campus and say hello!

===Items to bring===

You should bring your fastest ship and you can contact people on campus to ferry your other items to the AMC if needed. A lot of mining modules and ships are provided by the AMC’s own industry and internal logistics. There are also members in the AMC willing to ship items from the trade hubs if required, typically the local one. During wartime, remember not to bring what you can’t afford to lose. The AMC can provide ECM [[Griffin|Griffins]] for free if requested.

==Campus Rules and Procedures==

===General===

*As for all EVE University campuses, the [[EVE University Rules]] take precedence.

*Do not buy or sell within 5 jumps from home station except for NPC seeded items, such as skillbooks. This rule '''''does apply''''' to out of campus and out of corp Alts too. Trade creates traffic into and out of the region, which we want to keep to a minimum. You can however use corporate contracts to buy and sell to other EVE University members.

*During any campus activity join the '''AMC channel''' in [[Mumble]], at least to be able to listen.

*'''Do not mine or stay undocked while AFK'''. This is for your own safety, as [[Wartime_Operations_in_EVE_University|war targets]] can attack you without interference from CONCORD even in high-sec space.

*Do not place a MTU on any asteroid belts within 6 jumps of the home system. The exception to this rule is for operations and with FC permission.

*Help other campus members to learn.

*Fly what you can afford to lose.

===PvP===

*Running PVP ops at AMC is not forbidden, but kills and losses must be kept at an absolute minimum.  

*The only exception to the allowed PVP ops is war targets, which can only be engaged for rescue operations or with AMC Officer permission. Instead, dock up until they leave.

*The [[EVE University Rules#Rules of Engagement|EVE University Rules of Engagement]] apply to any PVP activity within the AMC.

===PvE===

===Local chat===

===Communication===

===Bookmarking===

Wormhole bookmarks can be created in the '''AMC Exploration''' folder within the [[Bookmarks#Using_Corp_Bookmarks|Corporation Locations]]. For mapping purposes we use the [[AMC Exploration|AMC-Mapper]].

==Mining operations==

{{Main|Mining fleets}}

Every member of the AMC is encouraged to join any existing AMC mining operation or to plan an AMC mining operation as a Fleet Commander on their own. There is no need for special skills to run or join a mining operation. If you're planning on running a mining operation, you only need a [[AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|spreadsheet]] and people to mine, haul, and scout. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at a time.

A majority of the time, [[#Shared Can (SC)|Shared Can]] operations are announced via the in-game calendar, the AMC subforum and the [[Message of the Day|MOTD]], so everyone can see whether they'd be able to join in advance. But there are also spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand. We also run frequent [[BYOC|BYOCs]] that you can join. Simply ask in the chat channel for information on what is going on.

To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining-capable ship fitted with mining lasers. You can also use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting with the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate for your fleet role. If you require a [[Venture]] or [[Mining_Barge#Mining_Barges|Mining Barge]], note that there are [[Venture]] hulls available for free in the [[EVE University Corporate Hangars|Freshman Hangar]], and barges can be purchased at a reduced price. Other fully-fitted mining ships are also available from the campus.

===Bring Your Own Can (BYOC)===

A BYOC (Bring Your Own Can) mining operation involves an [[Orca]] or [[Porpoise]] pilot providing boosts to your mining yield and mining laser range, reducing also the capacitor usage of your mining lasers so that they can cycle faster. All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots. It is courteous, though entirely optional, to gift the Orca pilot with [[BYOC#BYOC Booster Tipping|a tip]] as a thank you for the increased yield. Anyone can lead a BYOC, and [[BYOC Boss|being a boss]] is easier than you think.

===Shared Can (SC)===

===Gas harvesting===

For those able or willing to '[[Gas Cloud Mining|huff gas]]', some AMC members occasionally provide opportunities to collaboratively harvest gas in [[wormhole]] space. There are no restrictions on the ships you'd fly in these operations, ranging from combat-based ships to [[Venture|Ventures]] and [[Prospect|Prospects]] for a better yield. These are similar to 'BYOC' operations, although boosts may not be available. Gas sites are found via [[AMC_Exploration|exploration near AMC]], and familiarity with the [[WHC_Mapper|mapper]] is very useful.

===Wormhole mining===

In addition to gas, wormholes also contain [[Wormhole sites#Ore_sites|ore]] and [[Wormhole sites#Ice_belts|ice]] sites. The latter, in particular, can be found in [[Shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] and, given all classes of ice are present, it isn't rare for the campus members to seize the opportunity or band together in an improvised operation whenever one such wormhole spawns and is detected near AMC.

==Services==

===AMC Buyback===

One of the key services of the '''Averon Mining Campus''' is the [[AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|AMC Buyback Service]], which lets you sell your ore, gas and ice directly from the AMC home system. This service offers a higher payout than a new player would otherwise get without significant skills and standings, benefiting from both the higher value of the refined materials along with the prices in <font color="white">'''Jita'''</font>, where we sell them - not to mention the logistics of moving it.

With this point in mind, it is recommended to use this service, as not only would you save a lot of effort and typically make more ISK, but you'd help out future AMC members and the campus. Please refer to the corresponding [[AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|wiki page]] for more information.
