In a peaceful universe, we'd all be free to mission to our heart's content without any interference from griefers or pirates. But (for better or worse) EVE is not a peaceful universe, and the threat of war always looms on the University's horizon. During such times, it's [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures|absolutely forbidden]] to run missions on a University character, even in HiSec, but, barring a [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures#Lockdowns|lockdown]], there is an accepted way to legitimately and (relatively) safely ''complete'' them without finding oneself vaporized to space ash by war targets or, worse, one's fellow corpmates. This process requires an alt and the ability to run both characters at the same time. If both characters are on separate subscribed accounts, multiple instances of the client should work (simply open the client twice, or Mac users see [[Dual-Boxing on a Mac|this guide]]); otherwise, two separate computers may be necessary.

There are two relevant types of missions: those that require sojourns into deadspace and those that don't. Those that don't (like courier missions) can usually be accomplished easily enough. Simply have an alt do the heavy lifting and leave the University main in station. Complete when done.

Missions that require a trip into deadspace, however, are a little more complicated. Agent bookmarks cannot be passed on to others in any way, and mission objectives are typically not loaded until the player begins the warp to the first deadspace "room." You can, however, warp your fleet to a mission bookmark, and stop your own ship's engines before it aligns and enters warp. The full procedure is detailed below.

Not only is this process allowed, but it is the only way to complete missions on your University character during wartime.

In a peaceful universe, we would all be free to mission to our heart's content without any unwanted interference. But EVE is not a peaceful universe. War seems to loom over the University almost constantly, and during such times it can be dangerous to run missions on your Uni Main, as War Targets can engage you without repercussion. This guide will attempt to give instruction on a method of using a second account to complete missions relatively safely while allowing you to continue making progress on your standings with your main. This method requires using an out-of-corp alt on a second account.

  1. Form a fleet with your University character.
  2. Invite the out-of-corp alt.
  3. Have the alt accept the mission.
  4. Bring the alt to the system where the mission destination is located and dock.
  5. Using a cheap ship, travel to the system with the mission bookmark with your Uni character and dock at the same station as your alt.
  6. Check local for hostiles. Do not undock if there are hostiles in local.
  7. Undock both characters (carefully), alt first.
  8. Orbit close (less than 2000 m) to the station or use an insta-undock bookmark.
  9. From your Uni character, warp the fleet towards the mission bookmark. (You can do this in the same right-click-activated context menu where you select "Warp to location".)
  10. Immediately stop your Uni character's ship by pressing CTRL + SPACE and dock up. Do not let your ship enter warp.
  11. Perform the mission with the alt.
  12. Complete the mission with the main back at the station.
