Archive:Project Solitude: Difference between revisions

'''Project Solitude''' aims to provide an isolated environment for EVE University students, where they require motivation and self-sufficiency to survive. The area provides easy access to low-sec and null-sec opportunities, and the focus is on exploration, missioning, and industrial endeavours.

[[File:Solitudemap.gif|thumb|left|alt=2D Evemap of the Solitude region.|2D map of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude Solitude]]][http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude Solitude] is a smallish region consisting of only 43 systems under the sovereignty of the Gallente Federation. Wedged between [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Aridia Aridia] and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate Syndicate], it is made up of two general regions. To the west of the region is a low-sec area bordering both Syndicate and Aridia with the home of the [[Nullsec Campus]] (NSC) only a few jumps away. To the east is a high-sec pocket consisting of 17 systems with a second entrance to Syndicate. This pocket also contains the system of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Boystin Boystin], home to the E-Uni regional HQ as well as the regional trade hub. A further high-sec pocket of 3 systems can be found to the north of the region.  

[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] is also the Project: Solitude headquarters and contains a university office as well as shared university hangars. These hangars are organized similarly to the hangars in Aldrat. It should be noted that [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] '''does not have medical facilities''' and is therefore not an ideal place to house a medical clone. However, just one moon away at the neighboring station of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_7_-_Sisters_of_EVE_Bureau Boystin V - Moon 7 - Sisters of EVE Bureau] there are medical facilities and so it is recommended for Solitude Project members to set their medical clones to respawn at this station. (''This advice appears to be obsolete now since both medical and jump clones can be placed at any station.'')

*Far from Slays, making war target encounters less likely

*Easier to organize awareness of WTs in the region and their location

*A smaller community, which means you'll regularly see and potentially fly with familiar faces

*Significantly reduced cost for use of public research and manufacturing installations

*Easier access to low-sec PI while still living in the relative safety of high-sec

*Easier access to low-sec ores in sparsely populated systems

*Quick access to NPC null-sec space for PvP excursions

*Project stocked hangars

*E-uni customs office

*Limited availability of items on the local market

*Higher prices for items that are available on the market

*Shipping stuff in and out of the region can be a challenge

*Flying to Solitude requires extended travel through low or null sec (low sec route is recommended)

One question to ask yourself before heading out to Solitude is, do you see yourself wanting to come back to contiguous Hi-Sec regularly? If so, it is highly recommended that you first obtain a [[Jump Clone|Jump Clone]] and move it to [[Aldrat]] (or wherever you wish to return) before heading out to Solitude. Failure to do this may cause you to miss out on Corporate and Alliance events hosted at the University HQ since the route back can be time consuming and perilous.

The low-sec constellation of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude/Elerelle#sec Elerelle], located in Solitude, is one of only two places in New Eden where Gas sites produce unusually large amounts of [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Celadon_Mykoserocin Celadon], which is the chief ingredient in the production of Exile, a Combat Booster used to increase a capsuleers armor repair amount by a certain percentage.
