==Nullsec Camp Mission Statement==

The mission of Nullsec Camp is to establish and maintain a supportive base in NPC Nullsec space, to give students the opportunity to experience living in nullsec, with all of the challenges and glory that comes with it. Nullsec camp will provide the opportunity to learn to survive, make isk, and PvP successfully in null security space.

==Nullsec Camp Background and Overview==

On September 26th 23:00 hrs, a handful of brave, perhaps foolhardy Unistas, perceiving that the Uni lacked adequate opportunities to experience Nullsec life, followed a gibbering madman named [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=20219 Tinman Spectacular] into the hinterlands of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate#sov Syndicate], pitched their tents and settled in for the long haul. The latest incarnation of Eve University NullSec Camp was born.

The NSC is a grassroots, student run initiative, which welcomes all Ivy League members who meet our basic requirements to join. We operate in an environment of intense PvP activity, and anyone who wants to join us should be ready and willing to engage in combat with other players on a regular basis. Non PvP activities, such as ratting, exploration, and planetary interaction are available, and quite lucrative when compared to high and low sec space. Mining is not recommended, and manufacturing is unavailable, however, some NSCers do these activities in the nearby [[Project Solitude]] operations area. Events and classes will be coming soon. You may have been told that nullsec is too difficult or dangerous for new players. The members of Nullsec Camp do not believe this, and welcome very new players in their ranks. If you are very new, it is recommended that you attend or listen to any classes related to PvP as soon as possible, and focus your skill training on core and PvP specific skills. No activities of Nullsec Camp will be restricted by player age or experience. Just prepare yourself to get exploded frequently, and don't beat yourself up about it when it happens.

==What do I need to do to join NullSec Camp?==

You must have acquired the [[titles|title]] '''Freshman''' or a similar title before joining camp and participating in our activities.  Returning members of the university who posses a [[EVE University Medals|Graduate Medal]] may join the NSC immediately in lieu of waiting for their titles to be refreshed.  Graduates should still review the recommendations/classes listed below before arriving in the NSC.

You MUST read, understand and abide by the Camp Rules and Procedures if you join this event. All E-Uni Rules also apply.

==Camp Rules and Procedures:==

*Members active in camp must be in the NSC fleet. If there is no fleet advertised, you may form one, and put up an advert so others may join.

*Members active in camp must be in mumble, at least able to listen. (if you are hearing impaired, let us know)

**NSC Camp mumble is an event chat, so you may join mumble if you are not actively participating in the fleet, however you MUST follow combat comms when active.

*Rules of Engagement are Not Blue Shoot It (NBSI). Should campers roam into lowsec systems, the rule is Not Red Don't Shoot, or NRDS (more or less). Refer to the Uni [[Rules of Engagement]] for specific details. Campers are encouraged to aggressively seek out fights with neutral parties.

*Suggested PvP loot distribution is donation to the camp. Fleet Agreement on loot distribution overrides this.

*Camp communications are by default “OPEN COMMS”.

*When first entering camp mumble, please wait at least a full minute before speaking, unless it is very urgent

*Camp may move to “Open Command” or "Closed Comms" if there is a threat in the immediate location or if a local QRF has formed.

*Groups of campers operating in the local systems may remain in the main camp mumble.  

*Operations outside the "local area" as defined above must move to a separate ILN Fleet mumble channel. Moving to a separate fleet from camp is recommended but not required.

==Who Runs Nullsec Camp==

At this time, Nullsec camp is a student-run event. We still answer to E-Uni management, of course. No one individual can be said to be in charge of the project. As the founder of the current incarnation of Nullsec Camp, [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=20219 Tinman Spectacular] is the absentee leader, and takes full responsibility for all the trouble we get ourselves in. [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=31150 Captain Galen Wanderson] has volunteered as unofficial liaison between the camp and Uni management, so you can take any issues which may require intervention from Uni staff to him. We have E-Uni hangars in A-ZLHZ XI - Moon 1 - Intaki Syndicate Bureau, full of modules, hulls, and ammo for you to get blown up.

*Ewar boats - Moar ewar from all racial categories is a great asset for the camp

On your first trip to camp, it is recommended that you bring a fast, cheap frigate, both for ease of navigation through dangerous space, and to allow you to quickly make bookmarks as you travel. It is fairly easy to bring in additional ships later, either flying them in from Solitude or getting them delivered by Black Frog. Expect to lose lots of ships.

At this time it is not recommended that you bring mining ships or industrials, with the exception of cloaky blockade runners. As the camp becomes more established, mining nullsec ores may become a more reasonable proposition, but at the current time we still have too much hostile activity in our home system for mining to be practical.

==How to Get to Camp==

There are several routes, depending on where you are coming from. Before departing, it is recommended that you join the chat channel "Hi Camp Mates", which is used to communicate with both the Nullsec and Lowsec camps.

**Join the NSC standing fleet, found in fleet finder, and the NSC Mumble channel. Inquire if anybody has eyes in [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate/Y9G-KS Y9G-KS], and explain that you are coming to join the camp. You may choose to wait for an escort, or continue to camp solo if you prefer.

Local chat shows you all the pilots in your current system. It's a good idea to separate this window from your other chat windows and make it as tall as possible, so that you can see as many other pilots in local as possible. When you enter a system, you should check the names you see for anyone who you know causes trouble. You should also double-click their names and view their corp/alliance. Do several of them share a corp or alliance? If so, engaging them could mean an incoming gank for you. As you spend more time in the camp, you'll begin to recognize the names of players, corporations, and alliances and can roughly estimate how much trouble you might find in a given system.
