The '''Averon Mining Campus''', originally the '''Amarr Mining Campus''', was one of several campuses within EVE University. The first EVE University Campus to be established beyond the corp's headquarters, it was based in Shemah in the Kador region between 2012 and 2020, before moving to Averon in the Everyshore region for closer proximity to other campuses from 2020 until its closing in 2022. This page represents AMC as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of June 2022, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Shemah or Averon, with the [[Main Community]] formed as a replacement.

== Mission Statement ==
−
==== What? ====
+
The '''Averon Mining Campus''' was founded to provide EVE University students with the opportunity to learn how to mine efficiently and safely.
−
“The purpose of the AMC is to provide E-UNI students with the opportunity to mine in organized fleets, learn how to run fleet operations efficiently, and to earn ISK in a friendly co-operative environment”.
 
  
−
==== Why? ====
+
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]].
−
Goals of the '''Amarr Mining Campus''':
 
−
* Teach students how to mine, co-operate and function in fleet mining operation with utmost efficiency.
 
−
* Introduce players to the basics of running a fleet and managing a [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Scrapyard%27s_Mining_Op_Worksheet spreadsheet].
 
−
* Inform students about ways to maximize the profits and benefits that come with [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mining organized mining].  
 
  
−
These Goals will be accomplished through:
+
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 [[Archive: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.
−
* A set of procedures which should be adhered to if you intend on [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Participating_in_a_Mining_Op participating in mining fleets].
 
−
* Event Liaisons who will assist in the management of the event and ensure adherence to procedures.
 
−
* Volunteers who will run drills and mini-classes periodically.
 
  
−
'''Amarr Mining Campus''' helps new players in a lot of ways. [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao3i07DncK1hdHhiOHduTXBNREU1dWl2SHZ2cjFCSmc#gid=0_AMC Endeavour Spreadsheet] will provide you with a brief idea about the wide variety of financial and inventory information directly from the organizers to fulfill the goals of AMC.
+
== Background ==
 +
The '''Amarr Mining Campus''' was initiated by ''Seranti Olerie'', ''Ubermensch Invictus'' and ''Vger Starseed'' in March 2012. However, they have retired their position at AMC and moved on to other things in EVE.
  
−
==== Where? ====
+
A number of criteria were set up to choose a suitable location for AMC, concerning its seclusion, accessibility to a central trade hub, profitability, and also the variety among the activities possible around the campus.

−
The '''Amarr Mining Campus''' is located in Amarr space at its current [classified] HQ because it presented an ideal balance of:
 
−
*A decent distance from [[Aldrat]] (E-UNI HQ).
 
−
*Reasonable distance from one of the major [[Trade Hubs]].
 
−
*An abundance of asteroid belts that contain high quality ores (+5 and +10 ores) in a very quiet constellation with a 50% refinery station.
 
−
*It is far away from low security systems as well as any ice belts (popular for gankers).
 
  
−
==== Who’s It For? ====
+
In September 2020 the Amarr Mining Campus moved from its home in Amarr space and relocated to the Averon system in Gallente space. At this time it was decided to rebrand as the '''Averon Mining Campus'''.
−
The '''Amarr Mining Campus''' is currently open to all E-UNI students and is running within EVE University itself. We follow all the same rules and guidelines as anyone else in the UNI - as such, you will not need to leave E-UNI to join us. Simply join our Chat Channel (Amarr Mining Campus - use the same password as other E-UNI channels) say “Hi!”, and ask if there is a fleet going, and if not; start one yourself!
 
  
−
That said, we've decided the AMC is open to IVY League ''members'', their ''alts'' and ''alumni'' only. We've chosen not to include +5 (NAP) and +10 (Friends) for two main reasons:
+
The AMC is currently headquartered at [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Averon '''Averon VII - Moon 3 - Caldari Business Tribunal Information Center''']
  
−
*1. Our priority is not to help +5/+10s make or maximize ISK or teach them about mining, they have their own corp resources for that.
+
== Leadership ==
 +
The Averon Mining Campus is currently managed by:
 +
* ''Alpha GoreSnorkel'' (Officer)
 +
* ''Byron Thani'' (Officer)
 +
* ''Edswifa Rova'' (Officer)
 +
* ''Samsam James'' (Officer)
 +
* ''Spanktracula'' (Officer)
 +
* ''William Archer'' (Officer)
  
−
*2. We prefer to keep the operation of the AMC as secure as possible while still open and accessible to E-UNI players. ''Admittedly, it is a delicate and difficult balance to maintain.''
+
== Joining the Averon Mining Campus ==
  
−
To reiterate, we prioritize the need to help E-UNI miners in a secure environment above all other considerations.
+
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!
  
−
'''''The above is a guideline - It is subject to future revisions'''. Note: It is to the Fleet Commander's own discretion in choosing who is a member of their fleet.''
+
=== 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]]s for free if requested.
  
−
==== Who’s In-Charge? ====
+
=== Alts ===
−
The AMC was initiated by ''Seranti Olerie'', ''Ubermensch Invictus'' and ''Vger Starseed'' in March 2012. However, Seranti and Uber have moved on to other things in Eve. Now Vger along with ''Cartilige Deninard'' is operating the AMC. These experienced Miners, each backed with a wide variety of knowledge in the sector and by creating the '''Amarr Mining Campus''', they have offered to pass their knowledge onto less seasoned students. A [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao3i07DncK1hdHhiOHduTXBNREU1dWl2SHZ2cjFCSmc#gid=19_AMC roster] of current AMC Staff organizers are also listed in the Endeavour Spreadsheet.
+
The '''Averon Mining Campus''' is currently open to [[Alternate characters|Alts]] from any Ivy League members. We do not currently accept +5 (NAP) or +10 (Friends) characters or Alumni. In general, any Alt that participates in an AMC operation needs to be approved by an [[#Leadership|AMC Officer]] in advance.
  
−
==== Application ====
+
Moreover, contact an officer, or drop a message in ''#amc-ping'' in the [[Discord|AMC Discord]], to have your alts added to the access list for the AMC chat.
−
* You '''''need to have the Freshman title''''' to join the Amarr Mining Campus
 
−
* Read and understand the information provided in this page.
 
−
* Do not ask about the whereabout of the campus, nor disclose the location (including people who claim to be part of the AMC).
 
−
* Join the "Amarr Mining Campus" Chat Channel (uses the same password as other E-Uni channels) and mumble channel.
 
−
* Try to speak with Personnel Officer [[TwilightSazuka]] for a brief interview through a convo. If he is not available, you may send him an in-game mail, or try to catch him in another day.
 
−
* After you are accepted to the AMC, you will then be given the information on the whereabout of the AMC. From then on you are free to join any mining ops. If you are a Freshman or above you are able to access the Corporation Hangar where you will find mining and hauling items for your personal use.
 
  
−
REPEAT: only members of AMC staff have permission to provide you with the location of the campus.
+
== Campus Rules and Procedures ==
 +
=== General ===
 +
* As for all EVE University campuses, the [[EVE University Rules]] take precedence.
 +
* 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.
  
−
== Procedures ==
+
=== 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.
  
−
=== Fleets ===
+
=== PvE ===
 +
Mission rewards must not be shared with an AMC fleet unless it is a specific mission fleet. Please refrain from taking over someone’s site if they’re in the campus, and respect the rights of other players to the content of the sites even if they are not in the Uni.
  
−
==== Miners ====
+
=== Local chat ===
 +
Local chat is advised to be kept open in a separate window, set up so that the minimum amount of conversation is presented in favour of a longer member list.
  
−
===== Marking Lasers =====
+
=== Communication ===
−
In ‘[[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|Shared Can]]’ operations, the fleet commanders need to keep track of each person’s contribution. In the AMC, this is measured by the time each member spent mining. Follow the simple steps below to ensure you get the correct payout for the fleet:
+
Feel free to enter the '''AMC channel''' in the [[Mumble]] server, but please respect the current conversation when entering. If there is chatter specific to a particular fleet, it is polite to use one of the provided subchannels for said fleet.
  
−
'''LASERS ON TT:TT''' (replacing TT:TT with the server time) this is to be used when you start mining.
+
The in-game chat channel is: '''AMC (EVE Uni)'''
  
−
'''LASERS OFF TT:TT''' (again replacing TT:TT with server time) this is to be used when you stop mining, or leave your computer for more than your Laser’s cycle time.
+
=== 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 [[Archive:AMC Exploration|AMC-Mapper]].
  
−
When changing belts or re-targeting asteroids, you need not give a lasers off. Lasers off is only required for when you are stopping when everyone else is continuing.
+
Mission fleets can similarly make use of the '''AMC Mission Fleet''' folder; and general bookmarks can otherwise be left in the corresponding container within the [[EVE University Corporate Hangars|Freshman Hangar]] at HQ, to be shared with other AMC members.
  
−
===== Jet-Can Naming =====
+
== Mining operations ==
−
For ‘[[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|Shared Can]]’ operations, you will be mining into jetcans, which the Haulers will collect to haul back to station. Try to share a can with somebody when possible, but if there are none in reach then just create your own. We have a naming scheme for jetcans, as follows:
+
{{Main|Archive: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 [[Archive: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.
  
−
'''FLEET TT:TT''' (this can is in use, and was jettisoned at <timestamp> EVE-server 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 [[Archive:BYOC]]s that you can join. Simply ask in the chat channel for information on what is going on.
  
−
'''FULL TT:TT''' (this can is full to 27,500m3 or as near as possible, it retains the time from when it was a FLEET can)
+
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.
  
−
'''PULL TT:TT''' (this can is not yet full, but is no longer being used, such as when you run out of asteroids to mine but haven't yet filled the can)
+
=== 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 [[Archive:BYOC#BYOC Booster Tipping|a tip]] as a thank you for the increased yield. Anyone can lead a BYOC, and [[Archive:BYOC Boss|being a boss]] is easier than you think.
  
−
We use the time on cans to ensure that they do not reach the end of their 2 hour lifespan and pop, wasting the ore inside. The time on a can should remain the same as that was the time it was jettisoned, and not the time when it's name was changed.
+
=== Shared Can (SC) ===
 +
Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander arranges for boosters and haulers to be available during the operation. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they wish. After the mining operation, the ore is sold with the [[#AMC Buyback|AMC Buyback Service]] and divided between the members according to their time spent in-fleet. For information on running a Shared Can fleet, click [[Running AMC Fleets|here]].
  
−
For detailed information on participating in a mining operation see [[Participating in a Mining Op]].
+
=== Gas harvesting ===
 +
For those able or willing to '[[Gas cloud harvesting|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]]s and [[Prospect]]s for a better yield. These are similar to 'BYOC' operations, although boosts may not be available. Gas sites are found via [[Archive:AMC Exploration|exploration near AMC]], and familiarity with the [[Archive:WHC Mapper|mapper]] is very useful.
  
−
==== Haulers ====
+
=== 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.
  
−
===== Announcing start/end times =====
+
=== Site mining ===
 +
While running missions or exploring, sites with better -or different- ores than the ones typically found at the local belts can be found. There are also [[Asteroids and ore#Cosmic anomalies|ore anomalies]] that spontaneously appear in the area, and [[Ice harvesting#Ice belts|ice belts]] in selected systems. [[Ice harvesting|Ice mining]] is indeed supported by AMC, and a frequent activity among the campus members. Coordination for ice mining is often done via the [[Discord]].
  
−
Similar as miners, haulers need to announce the times when they start hauling or stop hauling, so the fleet commander can payout the haulers based on the time they were hauling.  
+
== Services ==
 +
=== AMC Buyback ===
 +
One of the key services of the '''Averon Mining Campus''' is the [[Archive: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.
  
−
===== Contracting the ore =====
+
The fee for this service is 4% of the refined value of the ore, ice and gas submitted, which is automatically deducted from the corresponding Jita-buy prices by the corresponding spreadsheet, so you don’t need to work it out. Said fee helps support the AMC services and hangars - for example, the Half-Priced Mining Barges provided by the campus are funded out of this ISK.
  
−
At the end of the operation, or when you stop hauling, you contract all the ore you've hauled at the station to the fleet commander.  
+
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 [[Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|wiki page]] for more information.
  
−
==== Commanders ====
+
=== AMC Refining ===
  
−
===== Spreadsheet =====
+
The [[AMC Refining Service Spreadsheet|AMC Refining Service]] offers a perfect reprocessing yield at the AMC refinery. This allows our members to get more materials out of their ore or ice than they would normally do - the outcome of the service will be higher than a perfect refine with 0% tax in an NPC Station.
  
−
As an AMC FC, it is required for you to keep track of your Fleet; recording each member's participation, share weights, amount of ore mined, prices of ore, etcetera. The easiest, and preferred way to do this is to use a Spreadsheet - namely the '[[AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet]]'. It's not as hard as it sounds - it's actually pretty simple, so please do not be afraid of becoming a Fleet Commander because of the Spreadsheet business. If you ever get stuck, just ask around and there's bound to be someone who can give you a hand.
+
There is no fee for this service.
  
−
===== MOTD (Message of the Day) =====
+
Please refer to the corresponding [[AMC Refining Service Spreadsheet|wiki page]] for more information.
  
−
When your Fleet is running, you have the opportunity to create an MOTD (Message of the Day). You can place some important information on the MOTD for the whole Fleet (especially new joiners) to see; for example:
+
=== Free T1 Mining Ships ===
 +
If you are concerned that you may not have a suitable mining ship upon joining, the '''Averon Mining Campus''' offers a free [[Venture]] to its members. Simply take one out of the '''Corporation Hangar''' at HQ, or ask any [[Titles within EVE University#Freshman|Freshman]] to pick it for you if you are yet to receive that title. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the [[EVE University Corporate Hangars]] page.
  
−
*Time Started
+
=== Free Modules and Charges ===
−
*Time End (estimate)
+
During your stay at the '''Averon Mining Campus''' you can make use of the modules, hulls, drones and charges provided through the '''Corporation Hangar''' at HQ. These include mining and exploration equipment, burst charges and mining crystals, among other items. A complete list can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sIsZC0WL5qVdgN1PFw75eNgwfMyPbK0vzBkRuRJn9O4 here].

To set the MOTD follow these steps:
+
For those items pertaining to the campus inventory, and sold instead at Jita-sell price, please contact a '''Hangar Officer''' or drop a message in ''#amc-ping'' in the [[Discord|AMC Discord]] with your request.
  
−
*1. Right-Click on the 'Fleet' Tab
+
=== Free Station Containers ===
−
*2. In the drop-down, select the 'Settings' option
+
We provide [[Containers#Station Container|Station Containers]] to help you organize your hangars. Just ask a '''Hangar Officer''' or drop a message in ''#amc-ping'' in the [[Discord|AMC Discord]] with the required amount.
−
*3. There should be an MOTD text box. This is where you type out your MOTD.
 
  
−
For detailed information on how to run a mining operation see [[Running a Mining Op]].
+
=== Half-Priced Mining Barges ===
 +
To help new members get up to speed as soon as they train the necessary skills, the '''Averon Mining Campus''' offers Mining Barges (i.e. [[Procurer]], [[Retriever]] and [[Covetor]]) at a reduced price.
  
−
== Programs ==
+
These hulls are sold at half the corresponding Jita-sell price and, when a fully-fitted barge is requested, any modules and drones made available for free through the '''Corporation Hangar''' would also be included free of charge in the fitted ship. For any additional modules and rigs, the full Jita-sell price would apply.
  
−
==== AMC Buy-Back ====
+
Given its purpose, a maximum of five (5) barges per uni member can be acquired at a reduced price under this program, although further mining barges can nevertheless be purchased at full price once said limit is met. To make a request, please contact a '''Hangar Officer''' or drop a message in ''#amc-ping'' in the [[Discord|AMC Discord]].
−
If you are an AMC Miner or Fleet Commander that has run an operation or have simply been solo-mining but don't want to go through the hassle of hauling, refining and then selling the ore yourself then you’re in luck. As an AMC student, you are able to take advantage of the ‘Buy-Back’ program. You can find full instructions [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet here]
 
  
−
==== Free T1 Modules/Ships ====
+
=== Other Mining Ships ===
−
If you're concerned that you don't have the best ship for mining or can't contribute to a mining fleet, worry not, the AMC is offering a free [[Venture]] and the following list of T1 modules to fit your ships:
+
In addition to the above barges, a number of mining and [[Industrial Command Ships]] can also be acquired at Jita-sell price from the campus, with those items made available for free through the '''Corporation Hangar''' still included free of charge in this case.

NOTE: We are no longer able to give away free retrievers due to the increase in cost, but instead we are able to loan them out on a 2-week basis following the same rules as the uni loaner fleet [[Mining Loaner Fleet]] and also to purchase at a slightly reduced cost.
+
Concerning the latter, it shall be noted that ''Medium Drone Mining Augmentor'' rigs are available as an alternative for the [[Porpoise]]; and the [[Orca]] can be requested without rigs if trading the extra tank for mining yield would be desired - but the ''Large Drone Mining Augmentor'' rigs will have to be sourced independently.

==== T2 Module Lottery ====
+
=== BPO Library ===
−
A lottery is conducted for every shared can mining fleet in which all participants have a random (equal) chance of winning a T2 module from the following list:
+
We have a large BPO library available for members to make copies for their own use, along with manufacturing and research facilities. Please refer to [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=233&t=108517 this thread] for more information.

−
*What is the AMC? - ''If you didn’t read the first section for whatever reason, here’s a quick run-down to what the AMC is: The Amarr Mining Campus is an organized group of Miners who have travelled down to Amarr Space to gain access to the better ores of the game. This allows us to make a higher income from mining than we would achieve if we were up in Aldrat (E-UNI HQ).''
 
−
*How do I join the AMC? - ''In short; you don't. The Amarr Mining Campus is running within EVE University. We follow all the same rules and guidelines as anyone else in the Uni. As such, you will not need to leave E-UNI to join us. Simply join our Chat Channel (Amarr Mining Campus - use the same password as other E-UNI channels) and ask if there is a fleet going, or start one yourself!''
 
−
*How do I start/join a fleet? - ''Please refer to the 'Participating in a Mining Op' and 'Running a Mining Op' Wiki page for information on these subjects. They will tell you everything you need to know.''
 
−
*Who do I talk to if I have a problem? - ''Feel free to ask any questions or direct any concerns to our 'Amarr Mining Camuus' chat channel so one of our more experienced members can help you with your issue. However, if the question/concern is one you wish to keep privately or is unsuitable for standard E-UNI members, do not hesitate to contact: Vger Starseed, Cartilige Deninard , Pale Peril, Rose Chanlin or Tyrus Solarin. Each will be more than willing to assist you.''
 
−
*Do I need a specific ship to help with Mining Operations? - ''No, you don't. No matter what ship you're flying in, you can always jump straight into a fleet and help. You'll be just as useful as anyone else out there. The more,  the merrier.''
 
−
*Do I need specific skills to run a Fleet? - ''Absolutely not! As Fleet Boss [Commander] all you need to run a fleet is a Spreadsheet (more information here) and people to mine/haul with. To start a fleet, just advertise it in chat and people will join you.''

The Averon Mining Campus, originally the Amarr Mining Campus, was one of several campuses within EVE University. The first EVE University Campus to be established beyond the corp's headquarters, it was based in Shemah in the Kador region between 2012 and 2020, before moving to Averon in the Everyshore region for closer proximity to other campuses from 2020 until its closing in 2022. This page represents AMC as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of June 2022, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Shemah or Averon, with the Main Community formed as a replacement.

Mission Statement

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.

You will learn how to maximize your productivity in a supportive environment when in Shared Cans, and can frequently enjoy ‘boosts’ provided by other AMC members in Bring Your Own Can operations. Members will also have the opportunity to get used to managing 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

The Amarr Mining Campus was initiated by Seranti Olerie, Ubermensch Invictus and Vger Starseed in March 2012. However, they have retired their position at AMC and moved on to other things in EVE.

A number of criteria were set up to choose a suitable location for AMC, concerning its seclusion, accessibility to a central trade hub, profitability, and also the variety among the activities possible around the campus.

In September 2020 the Amarr Mining Campus moved from its home in Amarr space and relocated to the Averon system in Gallente space. At this time it was decided to rebrand as the Averon Mining Campus.

The AMC is currently headquartered at Averon VII - Moon 3 - Caldari Business Tribunal Information Center

Leadership

The Averon Mining Campus is currently managed by:

  • Alpha GoreSnorkel (Officer)
  • Byron Thani (Officer)
  • Edswifa Rova (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 Griffins for free if requested.

Alts

The Averon Mining Campus is currently open to Alts from any Ivy League members. We do not currently accept +5 (NAP) or +10 (Friends) characters or Alumni. In general, any Alt that participates in an AMC operation needs to be approved by an AMC Officer in advance.

Moreover, contact an officer, or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord, to have your alts added to the access list for the AMC chat.

Campus Rules and Procedures

General

  • As for all EVE University campuses, the EVE University Rules take precedence.
  • 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 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 of Engagement apply to any PvP activity within the AMC.

PvE

Mission rewards must not be shared with an AMC fleet unless it is a specific mission fleet. Please refrain from taking over someone’s site if they’re in the campus, and respect the rights of other players to the content of the sites even if they are not in the Uni.

Local chat

Local chat is advised to be kept open in a separate window, set up so that the minimum amount of conversation is presented in favour of a longer member list.

Communication

Feel free to enter the AMC channel in the Mumble server, but please respect the current conversation when entering. If there is chatter specific to a particular fleet, it is polite to use one of the provided subchannels for said fleet.

The in-game chat channel is: AMC (EVE Uni)

Bookmarking

Wormhole bookmarks can be created in the AMC Exploration folder within the Corporation Locations. For mapping purposes we use the AMC-Mapper.

Mission fleets can similarly make use of the AMC Mission Fleet folder; and general bookmarks can otherwise be left in the corresponding container within the Freshman Hangar at HQ, to be shared with other AMC members.

Mining operations

Main article: Archive: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 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 operations are announced via the in-game calendar, the AMC subforum and the 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 Archive: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, note that there are Venture hulls available for free in the 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 a tip as a thank you for the increased yield. Anyone can lead a BYOC, and being a boss is easier than you think.

Shared Can (SC)

Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander arranges for boosters and haulers to be available during the operation. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they wish. After the mining operation, the ore is sold with the AMC Buyback Service and divided between the members according to their time spent in-fleet. For information on running a Shared Can fleet, click here.

Gas harvesting

For those able or willing to '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 Ventures and Prospects for a better yield. These are similar to 'BYOC' operations, although boosts may not be available. Gas sites are found via exploration near AMC, and familiarity with the mapper is very useful.

Wormhole mining

In addition to gas, wormholes also contain ore and ice sites. The latter, in particular, can be found in 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.

Site mining

While running missions or exploring, sites with better -or different- ores than the ones typically found at the local belts can be found. There are also ore anomalies that spontaneously appear in the area, and ice belts in selected systems. Ice mining is indeed supported by AMC, and a frequent activity among the campus members. Coordination for ice mining is often done via the Discord.

Services

AMC Buyback

One of the key services of the Averon Mining Campus is the 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 Jita, where we sell them - not to mention the logistics of moving it.

The fee for this service is 4% of the refined value of the ore, ice and gas submitted, which is automatically deducted from the corresponding Jita-buy prices by the corresponding spreadsheet, so you don’t need to work it out. Said fee helps support the AMC services and hangars - for example, the Half-Priced Mining Barges provided by the campus are funded out of this ISK.

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 wiki page for more information.

AMC Refining

The AMC Refining Service offers a perfect reprocessing yield at the AMC refinery. This allows our members to get more materials out of their ore or ice than they would normally do - the outcome of the service will be higher than a perfect refine with 0% tax in an NPC Station.

There is no fee for this service.

Please refer to the corresponding wiki page for more information.

Free T1 Mining Ships

If you are concerned that you may not have a suitable mining ship upon joining, the Averon Mining Campus offers a free Venture to its members. Simply take one out of the Corporation Hangar at HQ, or ask any Freshman to pick it for you if you are yet to receive that title. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the EVE University Corporate Hangars page.

Free Modules and Charges

During your stay at the Averon Mining Campus you can make use of the modules, hulls, drones and charges provided through the Corporation Hangar at HQ. These include mining and exploration equipment, burst charges and mining crystals, among other items. A complete list can be found here.

For those items pertaining to the campus inventory, and sold instead at Jita-sell price, please contact a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord with your request.

Free Station Containers

We provide Station Containers to help you organize your hangars. Just ask a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord with the required amount.

Half-Priced Mining Barges

To help new members get up to speed as soon as they train the necessary skills, the Averon Mining Campus offers Mining Barges (i.e. Procurer, Retriever and Covetor) at a reduced price.

These hulls are sold at half the corresponding Jita-sell price and, when a fully-fitted barge is requested, any modules and drones made available for free through the Corporation Hangar would also be included free of charge in the fitted ship. For any additional modules and rigs, the full Jita-sell price would apply.

Given its purpose, a maximum of five (5) barges per uni member can be acquired at a reduced price under this program, although further mining barges can nevertheless be purchased at full price once said limit is met. To make a request, please contact a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord.

Other Mining Ships

In addition to the above barges, a number of mining and Industrial Command Ships can also be acquired at Jita-sell price from the campus, with those items made available for free through the Corporation Hangar still included free of charge in this case.

The available fits can be found in the AMC Forum Section post here

Concerning the latter, it shall be noted that Medium Drone Mining Augmentor rigs are available as an alternative for the Porpoise; and the Orca can be requested without rigs if trading the extra tank for mining yield would be desired - but the Large Drone Mining Augmentor rigs will have to be sourced independently.

Once again, please contact a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord to make a request.

BPO Library

We have a large BPO library available for members to make copies for their own use, along with manufacturing and research facilities. Please refer to this thread for more information.

Local Ore Hauling Service

We have a local ore hauling service available within our constellation to members who mine outside of our home system and are unable to haul their ore back to Averon themselves. This service is intended to help them take advantage of our Buyback and Refine programs. Please refer to this thread for more information.
