If you are not a member of Eve University, there is another jump clone service available to you: the player corporation "Estel Arador Corp Services" [EACS]. It accepts all recruits for just a few days so that they can install jump clones at any of a wide variety of stations, and then leave. Anyone joining EACS is responsible for acquiring their own copy of Infomorph Psychology and paying the 100,000 ISK jump clone installation fee to the NPC corporation of their choice, but the service is otherwise free. | If you are not a member of Eve University, there is another jump clone service available to you: the player corporation "Estel Arador Corp Services" [EACS].

If you do use the EACS service it may be wise to travel to the station where you are going to install your jump clone before joining the EACS corp, or to travel in a shuttle or noobship. There are a couple of reasons for this: | |||
;War | |||
:Other corporations declare war on EACS from time to time in hopes of catching an innocent jump clone shopper unawares. EACS does have clone services in a large number of places (1092 stations as of this writing), so the odds of being caught by an EACS WT in any random spot in the EVE universe are fairly small. | |||
:You can check the war status of EACS before joining. Open you "People and Places" window (Alt-E by default). Search for "Estel Arador Corp Services" and open their info window from the search results. Open the "War History" tab. If there is a war with a "Started" date and no "Finished" date, then they are at war and you should be cautious. | |||
;Your EACS Corpmates | |||
:Another possible hazard (mentioned in EACS's forum posting) is that their service is open to everyone, nice and not-so-nice alike. Because it is legal for members of the same corporation to shoot each other at any time, anywhere, it is perfectly legal for another capsuleer who is a member of EACS to blow you up if they happen upon you. | |||
