Living in '''LowSec means more PvP''' and that makes '''communication and individual performance''' critical. To help every Unista contribute, we've outlined essential skills and ships.

The path starts with a '''LSC Starter Skill plan (Alpha) and an Add-On for Omega accounts''', focusing on universal skills supporting the LSC Flight Deck ships. With the LSC Intermediate Skill plan, pilots move into '''more advanced T1/T2 frigate and destroyer PvP''', LSC specific ships and can put their learned skills more into action. LSC Advanced stages expand into '''T2 cruisers, battlecruisers, and specialized fleet roles''', preparing pilots for larger engagements and leadership opportunities. | The path starts with a '''LSC Starter Skill plan (Alpha) and an Add-On for Omega accounts''', focusing on universal skills supporting the LSC Flight Deck ships.

The '''LSC Starter Skill plan (Alpha)''' is the foundation of the LSC skill path and the recommended starting point for new and returning pilots. It focuses on '''core skills that benefit LSC Flight Deck ships''', with an emphasis on fitting and basic weapon systems. The LSC Flight Deck ships are "meta downed" fits from the FW yearbook and gives the opportunity to start your PVP journey with commonly used fits in LowSec with bare-bone minimum skills. | The '''LSC Starter Skill plan (Alpha)''' is the foundation of the LSC skill path and the recommended starting point for new and returning pilots.

# Tristan first: Even tho, its looks long, but it will train the Tristan and your Char in a way, to enjoy plexing in SCOUT sized Plexes easily. The Caldari frigate (Heron and Merlin hull) and Amarr frigates for the Punisher are placed conveniently in between. | |||
#* Milestone: Drone Riging lvl1: mandatory CPU optimization | |||
#* Milestone: Drone lvl5: operate 5 Drones to shoot NPCs conveniently in SCOUT sized Plexes | |||
#* Milestone: Gallente Frigate lvl3: more DPS (damage) on Drones | |||
# Venture: Start to huff gas or mine ore, earn ISK by the next activity. | |||
#* Milestone: Gas Cloud Harvesting lvl 2: operate 2 gas scoops. | |||
# Heron Explo: Start to explore and scan sigs or hack stuff and earn ISK with the next activity or learn scanning. | |||

== Faction Warfare | == Faction Warfare == | ||
Faction Warfare | EVE University’s Low-Sec Community (LSC) enlists in Faction Warfare, for both Amarr and Minmatar. We engage in plexes (i.e. complexes) and battlefields, to allow Unistas to become familiar with Faction Warfare mechanics and content. Whenever possible, we also encourage Unistas to play with their respective militias, allowing Unistas to experience working alongside established Faction Warfare groups. We believe this approach provides a strong learning environment and offers Unistas their first opportunities for outreach and interaction with the wider player community. | ||
EVE University's Rules of Engagement apply in all faction warfare scenarios. Our efforts are aimed towards NPC Content. | |||
However, Faction Warfare is a dynamic environment with challenges we can guide through, and some difficulties we need to work around. The following sections provide more specific guidance. | |||
=== Battlefields === | |||
Battlefields are a lucrative, high-end FW content. Next to running the usual plex sites, we encourage running battlefields, to gain experience. For this, our '''EVE University Doctrine LLA (LSC Light Armor)''' is considered to support this game play, as (similar to plexes) battlefields are also played strategically on grid, with requirements to shoot NPCs, while possibly defending the battlefield against opposing players. While battlefields are not considered "new player" content, that does not mean they're inaccessible. | |||
==== "Seagulling" ==== | |||
Being content shared with the wider FW community, Battlefields are (for better or worse) susceptible to alternative play-styles. While Battlefields are very lucrative, it is very easy to freeload/mooch the payout, which created a term called "seagulling". Receiving LP is possible without active participation, by just warping in and sitting there. This is possible even in a small, unfitted ship, like a frigate. Unistas are not allowed to be a seagull, and should bring an appropriate ship to battlefields, to participate in the fight against the NPCs. | |||
If friendlies are in the battlefield before you, protocol is to request permission to join them. Most players are friendly and open, but be willing to warp off, if permission is denied. | |||
To | === Nomad Offices === | ||
Faction Warfare can be very dynamic. To have both Militias (Minmatar and Amarr) served from our HQ, with its full services (e.g. Buyback, more advanced ships on contract, fleets), it is important to us to keep our HQ in Isbrabata, a Frontline System. This is a core task of our Unistas. However, in Faction Warfare, Frontline system status can change anytime, which actually makes Faction Warfare an interesting territory game. | |||
To enable our Unistas to participate, plan, strategize, and fight for their Militias, '''LSC is maintaining so called Nomad Offices'''. Those will keep the free FD ships in the General Hangar, and some FW-aimed ships on contracts. This should enable (while Isbrabata is not Frontline) docking up in other stations while enlisted, and fighting their way back to Isbrabata, to help return Isbrabata to a Frontline system. | |||
While Isbrabata is Frontline, a minimum number of FD ships are available, while ships on contract will only be put up, when Isbrabata is not a Frontline anymore. Once the Nomad Offices are needed, active restocking of FD ships as well as selected FW ships will take place during the Territory fight, to help our Unistas fight for their Militia. The Offices have a Clone Bay as well. However, the services are kept to a minimum, as the main services are served via our HQ (e.g. Buyback operations, fleets). | |||
'''<u><big>Important</big></u>''': While NOT enlisted in a Militia, any character can dock in Isbrabata. While enlisted in a Militia, characters are denied access to NPC stations in systems controlled by the opposing Militia. Frontline systems are considered uncontrolled by either Militia. | |||
