This page's intent is to provide information on the the history of EVE University. The information on this page is no longer current.

Slack is an out-of-game platform for team communication. EVE University uses Slack for communication within each of the campuses, communities, and other teams.

The various University campuses have channels set up in their respective slack applications for different purposes. One feature in slack is that it allows pings for various purposes, which will be received by all members of that team. Slack also has a mobile app which is quite versatile for both Android and iOS.

All UNI Slacks follow University Rules

Joining Slack and Channels

Each campus and community has a certain way of joining their Slack. Once you join a campus, you will need to visit their forum posts for details on how to join it. Certain teams may also create private groups for their management teams, FC teams, etc.

Common UNI Wide Channels

Batphone

• #campusbatphone : This is a uni-wide slack ping to be used sparingly, as it will notify every member of every campus-associated slack as well as the staff slack. This should only be used in select circumstances, examples of which are detailed below:

Use this channel for: Either a call for help, (WHC is getting invaded, NSC or LSC POSes are being assaulted by a force that we could engage) or an engagement in which you are at a noticeable stalemate and cannot proceed without reinforcements (known solo carrier tackled 5j from NSC with no backup incoming and your reps are holding). Please be as descriptive as possible with numbers and composition (eg. 40 x T3 fleet with 6 T2 logi assaulting uni POS in WHC).

Do not use this channel if the situation is easily resolved by members of the home campus (#pingpvp should be used for small QRFs, for example) or de-escalated by the opponent (for instance, a carrier is tackled on a station undock - the carrier docks, thus ending the engagement). You should also not use this channel for a situation that other campuses cannot easily respond to (if you are 15j+ from all campuses, reinforcements will be hard to get). It should not be used for general purposes like announcing fleets or classes either.

Do NOT respond to a ping in this channel. Discuss it in the #talkaboutpings channel instead.

General Channels

• #general : General team channel used to discuss topics generally related to that team/campus
• #othergames : Chat, discuss, or play other games via this channel

• #scripts : Testing of scripts ad using miscellaneous scripts included by Titus (latex, market prices, routes etc) go here.

Ping Channels

• #pingpve : Pings for PvE activities (missions, mining, etc), arranged or impromptu, go here. Do NOT respond/chatter in this channel.
• #pingpvp : Pings for current PvP activities go here. Do NOT respond/chatter in this channel.
• #pingmisc : Miscellaneous pings - like "come kill Pehuen", "rolling Bacon, need HIC", "need to scan down chains" etc go here. Do NOT respond/chatter in this channel.
• #pingfleet : Announce pre-planned fleets, ie Ishtar Fleet next week. Do NOT respond/chatter in this channel.
• #pingclass : Announce classes that will be starting soon. Do NOT respond/chatter in this channel.
• #need-a-staffer: Quickly get the attention of a staff member for concerns like channel moderation et al.

Pings should be informative enough so that they do not require multiple pings for the same topic. If you need to use multiple lines, type them out before you send the message. Each message sent will notify individuals on their mobile, desktop, and/or emails; do not abuse the pings otherwise individuals will just turn them off.
