HighSec Mining Rules: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:02, 18 November 2025

This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently.
For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

The following Rules and Guidelines apply when mining in and around the Main Community. These are in addition to the EVE University Rules.

General Rules

Members are expected to join the in-game HQ standing fleet if they are mining or planning on mining in any of the high-sec stagings, except for Shared Cans, which may operate out of separate fleets. Furthermore, participating in the HQ Standing fleet on Discord is highly encouraged for faster voice communication.
EVE University treats Moon Ore belts no differently than any other Asteroid Ore belts in New Eden. However, if the owner of an Athanor directly asks you to leave, please avoid unnecessary conflict.

Structure Owner Expectations

If you deploy a structure and invite Uni members to mine it, you are solely responsible for all fuel, upkeep, and defense
You may not ask for, encourage, or imply any form of payment from Uni members in exchange for access — including taxes, tips, fuel contributions, or donations.
What you request or receive from non-Uni members is outside the scope of EVE University rules.
If you cannot afford to run or defend a structure without Uni member support, you should not deploy one.

Tips and Payments

No payments, fees, taxes, or tips (or anything that could be implied as such) from Uni members may be requested or implied by structure owners, fleet boosters, or fleet organizers.
Uni members mining from any structure — whether owned by EVE University or a member — do so without any obligation to pay, including “optional,” “suggested,” or “voluntary” contributions.
If anyone asks for or implies payment, miners should not engage directly. Instead, report the matter to Community Coordinators for review and action.
This policy protects newer players, reduces pressure, and ensures Uni mining remains fair, supportive, and educational.

Fleets

Fleet Commanders for Shared Can Fleets, as in any other fleet, shall have final authority over the fleet members and interpretation of mining guidelines.
Fleet Commanders for BYOC and other impromptu fleets shall have no explicit authority other than to remind fleet members of proper etiquette and guidelines.

Crystals

C-Type crystals should not be used on any Eve University moon field.
B-Type crystals should not be used on jackpot moons (Glistening variants), or in a fleet that has more than 15 members on grid, unless instructed otherwise by a shared can FC.

Sharing

A rock should not have more than two active lasers mining it. If a pilot has both lasers on a rock, another pilot should not mine it. If a pilot has 1 laser on two different rocks, then another pilot can put 1 laser on each of the same rocks (making a total of 2). Mining drones do not count as lasers.
When boosters are present (E-Uni or neutrals) and actively mining with drones, other pilots on the grid should not mine the same rock. Do note that this does not mean boosters can ask other pilots to move from rocks that are being mined (Boosters can ask, but pilots do not need to acquiesce).

+=== Structure Owner Expectations ===
+* If you deploy a structure and invite Uni members to mine it, '''you are solely responsible for all fuel, upkeep, and defense'''
+* You may not ask for, encourage, or imply any form of payment from Uni members in exchange for access — including taxes, tips, fuel contributions, or donations.
+* What you request or receive from non-Uni members is outside the scope of EVE University rules.
+* If you cannot afford to run or defend a structure without Uni member support, you should not deploy one.
 === Tips and Payments ===
-* Tipping should neither be asked nor expected. If tips are given for any reason, they need not be returned.
-* Just as we do not enforce payment from players who mine from our own belts after they spawn, EVE University does not impose any mandatory payment obligations.
+* '''No payments, fees, taxes, or tips (or anything that could be implied as such) from Uni members may be requested or implied by structure owners, fleet boosters, or fleet organizers.'''
-* While a corporation may own the structure operating the drill, miners are not formally required or obligated to provide tips for the ore they extract.
+* Uni members mining from any structure — whether owned by EVE University or a member — do so '''without any obligation to pay''', including “optional,” “suggested,” or “voluntary” contributions.
-* If a structure owner initiates a discussion about taxes in the local chat, it is advisable not to engage directly but to report the matter to community coordinators for resolution.
+* If anyone asks for or implies payment, miners should '''not engage directly'''. Instead, report the matter to Community Coordinators for review and action.
-* Incidents or disputes related to taxes will be addressed individually, with a focus on diplomatic communication and resolution.
+* This policy protects newer players, reduces pressure, and ensures Uni mining remains fair, supportive, and educational.
 === Fleets ===
 * Fleet Commanders for Shared Can Fleets, as in any other fleet, shall have final authority over the fleet members and interpretation of mining guidelines.
