| | {{eunispecific}} |
| | Welcome to EVE University. If you are reading this, you must be new to EVE University, or possibly a returning member. This page is here to help guide you to information on how to make a smooth transition to Uni, and the game as well. |
| | As a member of EVE University, you are able to utilize several features not available to outside players. |
|
| |
|
| == Your First Steps in Eve University ==
| | {{#show: UniWiki:EVE University Graphics|?Has EVE University logo#300px;left}} |
| | <div style="clear: both; margin-bottom: .5em;">__TOC__</div> |
|
| |
|
| These important first steps should not be ignored by new University pilots, and should be completed as soon as possible.
| | == Getting Started in EVE University == |
|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''First: ''' A reminder about our chat channels and their uses</font>
| | * [[Discord]] is our main source of communication outside of the game and how we notify (aka 'ping') people about upcoming fleets, classes and other activities in EVE University. We also use Discord for most voice comms. |
| | * [[EVE University Overview]] The overview helps you to see things relevant to you, in and around New Eden, for both PvP and PvE gameplay and helps to keep your screen functional and organized. |
| | * [[E-Uni Basics Skill Plan]] The 'Basics' is a small set of skills that will get you started in EVE uni quicker and more efficiently. This includes taking part in fleets. |
|
| |
|
| *"Corp" chat tab is used to request skillbook reimbursement, hangar requests, etc. This is also where questions about university policies or clarifications about where to ask should go.
| | Please note that you can find Corporation Events / Classes / Fleets by accessing the Eve Uni Calendar in Alliance Auth, by looking at the Events area of Discord, and some events are also added to the in-game calendar |
| *"Alliance" chat tab is for fleet formation. You should only be typing in Alliance to form or join a fleet. To understand how fleets are formed in alliance please read [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]]. If you still have questions please ask them in corp chat.
| |
|
| |
|
| *Chat.E-UNI is the general chat channel for the university. Questions about fleets, fleet formation or [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures|Wartime SOP]] should not be asked there but should instead be asked in Corp chat.
| | == Chat channels and their uses == |
| *Other channels can be found here [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists]].
| |
|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''Step 1:''' Bookmark these Pages</font>
| | We have various different chat channels and we understand that these can be a bit daunting for new members. The most important ones are summarised below. |
|
| |

|
| <br><font size="3">'''Step 2:''' Introduce Yourself</font>
| | == Programs and services == |
|
| |
|
| *Note: This step may not be possible for applicants relocating to Aldrat or awaiting role cool down until you are fully accepted into the University | | * [[The +3 Implants Program]] This program is available to those who have been playing longer than 31 days and have been in the University for at least 7 days. These implants are available at a reduced prices and help with things like faster skill training. |
| *'''Navigate to''': [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=76 Hi and Bye forum] | | * [[Flight_Deck|Free ships for you to use on contract]] - there are called "Flight Deck" or "FD" ships and you are free to take one whenever you need a ship for a specific activity. |
| *Make a post in the Hi and Bye forum and let us know you better.
| | * [[The Skillbook Program]] We provide started skillbook bundles in shuttles contained within the Flight Deck programme, and also members with the Student title can further reimburse themselves for up to 3.5 Million ISK of skillbooks per day. The instructions are on the page for more info. |
| *This is a requirement to obtain the [[Titles Within EVE University#Freshman|Freshman]] status. | | * [[Ship Replacement Program]] The program (Commonly known as SRP) is intended to both help new pilots get into PvP and to promote the use of important hulls that benefit the entire fleet. |
| | * [[Mining ship program|Mining Ship Program]] Save on shipping and order a range of fully fitted mining ships straight to our staging. First barges sold half price getting you out of your venture faster. |
|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''Step 3:''' Setup Communications</font>
| | == Education == |
| | Our Education Department works hard to help our members and the players of EVE Online, to be able to better understand the game basics and make the game as enjoyable as possible. Most of our classes are available with a .PDF so you can read before you venture out to the great unknown and try something new. |
|

|
| *'''Read''': [[Mumble|Install and Setup Mumble]]
| | == Training on Tap and other learning videos == |
| *A crucial step in attending classes and participating in official university operations (ie. Fleets).

|
| *'''Read''': [[EVE University Rules|EVE University Rules]] & [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures]] | | == Understanding Fleets == |
| *You are expected to read, understand, and follow all Rules at all times, and the WSOP when the university is at war. | | No matter what kind of ship you fly, or the Community you live at, there is always a FLEET available in the EVE University. It is a great part of being in a corporation. However, being part of a fleet means knowing a few basics. |
| | * Fleet Commands and understanding Fleets- Read this: [[Fleets (CORE class)]] This can make the difference in losing or keeping a ship sometimes when [[Suicide ganking|gankers]] come around to cause havoc. |
| | * Obeying EVE University's [[EVE University Rules|Rules of Engagement]], when roaming or on fleets is a great way to make sure you are able to participate in all kinds of fleets and outings. |
|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''Step 5:''' Configuring the Ship Overview</font>
| | == Community Life == |
|
| |
|
| *'''Read:''' [[Overview Guide]].
| | With the exception of our Wormhole Community, our communities do not have an application or skill requirement. So, please join in at any of the activities that you wish to. |
| *Configuring your overview to the University standard is a great learning process about your overview.
| |
| *University Standard Overviews are '''required''' for fleet operations.
| |
| *The other thing required for fleet operations is reading and understanding the [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]]
| |
|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''Step 6:''' There is no "6"</font>
| | === Main Community (Uni Headquarters) === |
| | [[File:E-UNI.png|left|70px]] The '''[[Main Community]]''' in Korsiki is our main staging area for the Uni. "Horizon" being our main staging structure for most Uni Events. |
|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''Step 7:''' Check Corporation/Alliance Bulletins</font>
| | Within a few jumps radius of Korsiki, you can find areas in which to mine, run missions, participate in PVP, and there will be other corpmates engaging in those activities that you can join up with. |
| | {{Clear}} |
|
| |
|
| *'''Find''': In Game NeoCom > Corporation Button > Home Tab
| | === Wormhole Community (WHC) === |
| *Corporation Bulletins are found under the Home Tab.
| | [[File:WHClogo.png|left|70px]] The '''[[Wormhole Community]]''' focuses on living in [[wormholes|wormhole space]], and dedicated to educating students about [[Living in Wormhole Space|wormhole life]]. The Wormhole Community is currently based in J211936, a C2 wormhole with hisec and C3 static connections; giving easy access to known space for logistics, and to higher class w-space for PvP and PvE. Wormhole space is one of the most hostile - but also one of the most lucrative - areas of space in EVE. For more information, visit the [[Wormhole Community]] page. |
| *Alliance Bulletins are found under the Alliances Tab.
| |
| *You'll find our passwords under the alliances bulletins.

|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''Step 8:''' Coming to Aldrat</font>
| | The [[Student title]] and some basic skills and ships are required to join the Wormhole Community. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Moving In:''' Once you have settled in, a lot of Unistas tend to move into the Metropolis region, or Aldrat itself. You do not ''have'' to move here - you can usually attend classes from anywhere in the galaxy - however the corp hangars are located here and this is where most of our practical activities take place.<br>
| | === Incursion Community === |
| *Be mindful when travelling with cargo haulers - especially when moving through low security (0.1 - 0.4) and null security (0.0) systems.
| | [[File:Incursionlogo.png|left|70px]]The '''[[EVE University Incursion Community]]''' works together to introduce students and alumni to that area of the game, and runs sites as a cohesive group. The community primarily focuses on running short-ranged, stationary shield fleets in Vanguard sites, and has a doctrine that is very forgiving for lower skill-point and cheaper hulls often associated with E-UNI students. For more information, visit the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] page. |
| *DO NOT go AFK at gates in such systems - they are very dangerous and there is a high likelihood you will lose your possessions.
| |
| *TIP: If you set 'Aldrat' as your Autopilot destination, you can adjust the Autopilot settings to avoid low and null security systems - while the journey may be a little longer, it will be a lot safer. You can access Autopilot settings by opening your Map screen [F10] and then selecting the Autopilot tab > Settings.<br>
| |
| *'''Wartime Hauling''' If you have decided that you really want to move to Aldrat then you must consider that hauling your stuff in will be very dangerous, especially once you reach Hek, and then into the "pipeline" to Aldrat. Many a new Unista have lost their assets moving through this area. It is highly recommended that you either wait (and just show up with a PvP fit frigate, don't worry, we'll supply you with stuff) or if you need you can find an OOC (Out of Corp) hauling alt (many Unistas have hauling alts) to help you move stuff.
| |
|
| |
|
| <br> <font size="3">'''Step 9:''' Review the Consolidated Information Page</font>
| | While some roles in Incursions can be performed by players of all skill levels, please see their specific [[EVE University Incursion Community#Requirements|requirements]] listings. |
|
| |
|
| *Please take the time to review the page: [[Eve University Consolidated Information]].
| | == Feeling a bit lost? == |
| *It is meant to introduce you to the programs & information you'll need to get the most out of your time at the University.
| | We know that this is a lot of information when you first join, so please don't panic! Bookmark this wiki page so you can refer back to it later. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the #eve-uni-general channel in Discord. |

| | === Management Support === |
| | [[File:E-UNI.png|left|70px]] |
| | If you need help from a particular department, there is a list of '''[[EVE University Management]]''' here showing who is responsible for each department. Most departments also have their own Wiki page for a list of staff you can reach out to. However, if you have a problem with that department, please make sure to talk to the Manager of that department for a resolution. |
|
| |
|
| *We have a wealth of information in our recorded class Library that you can find here: [[EVE University Class Library]].
| | == Helping EVE University == |
| *If are looking for some specific help in a single or specialized area you may want to look into getting a Mentor through: [[Mentor Program]]
| | EVE University does not have any paid staff: all its programs, services and departments are run by volunteers. We also rely on members to create content for each other and to help each other out by answering questions. It may not seem like you know a lot about EVE Online at the moment, but you almost certainly know more already than some other players who have been playing for less time than you. We really appreciate any members helping others out, no matter how new you are to the game. If you'd like some ideas on how you can give back to EVE University and help out other members, see [[Helping EVE University]]. |
| *Again, review the Consolidated Information Page (notice we plug that a lot on this page?) here: [[EVE University Consolidated Information]]

| == Some Frequently Asked Questions ==
| | {{EVEUniversityNav}} |
|
| |
|
| {{FAQ Simple
| | [[Category:EVE University]] |
| |Question= War? War? What does that mean to me?
| |
| |Answer= When Eve University is at war, the Ivy League Navy takes control and implements the [[War Time Policy]].
| |
| | |
| You should read the [[Wartime Checklist]] to make sure you are ready for war.
| |
| | |
| The basics are explained below:
| |
| * '''What is a wardec?''' It means you can and will get shot in any system of any security level and anytime without repercussions.
| |
| * '''What are the uni wartime rules?''' In summary: No mining, no hauling, no solo missioning, no ratting. More specifically, see [[WSOP]].
| |
| * '''When can I undock?''' Basic rule: If there's no lockdown and there are no wartargets in local you can undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). Contact an intel coordinator (check bulletins) and ask if it's safe for you to travel to Aldrat. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.
| |
| * '''What is a lockdown?''' ILN officers ranked Captain or higher have the ability to order a "lockdown", which means NOBODY is allowed to undock from any station or any system in Eve unless you have permission or are in/joining a combat fleet. DO NOT undock until you get orders from your Fleet Commander to undock from the specific station you are located in. Lockdowns are usually posted in Alliance mail. Make sure you read your mails (both corp/alliance) when you log in to know if there's a lockdown active at a given moment in time. "I missed the mail" is no excuse for losing your ship during a lockdown.
| |
| * '''Isn't that boring?''' Yes, in most cases war and lockdowns are boring and you might be in station for quite a long time without doing anything. Rest assured that these rules have been developed over a period of five years and are in your best interests!
| |
| * '''What happens if I break these rules?''' Depending on what you did you'll get either a very unpleasant conversation with a director or just be kicked from the Uni for the duration of the war.

| {{FAQ Simple
| |
| |Question= How do the classes and events work?
| |
| |Answer= Classes and events are posted in the forums by an instructor or organiser in the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=158 Events & Education forum]. They can also be seen on the [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ out-of-game calendar], as well as the in-game corp calendar, which can be found by clicking the button at the bottom left of your game window, beneath the Undock icon on your neocom. The in-game calendar can also be used to confirm or decline attendance.
| |
| [[File:Calendar.jpg]]
| |
| | |
| You can also find this calendar on [https://gate.eveonline.com EVE Gate], where you can view EVE University events and confirm attendance without logging in to the game. You can also check your eve-mail there!
| |
| | |
| Most classes are presented by voice using Mumble. They may involve working as a fleet and may require you to be logged in. The chat channel class.e-uni is used for questions, links and other text based feedback.

| {{FAQ Simple
| |
| |Question= Apparently I should get a 'jump clone'. What are they, and where can I get them?
| |
| |Answer= All pilots in Eve have a 'medical clone' which acts as a 'respawn point' when your capsule or 'pod' is destroyed.
| |
| | |
| There is a second type of clone you may purchase, known as a jump clone, which is a spare body for your pilot where, when docked, you can 'jump' your consciousness into the jump clone, wherever it is in Eve, and then use it as you would your previous body. Your previous body then becomes a jump clone which you can return to in the same way.
| |
| | |
| Additional details and locations for corporate jump clone services can be found in the [[Jump Clones| Jump Clone Guide]].
| |

| |
| | |
| {{FAQ Simple
| |
| |Question= Everyone is saying o/ or o7, what do they mean?
| |
| |Answer= o/ is a person waving hello or goodbye. o7 is a person saluting. There is also a handy [[Eve Lexicon|lexicon]] on the wiki which contains a list of the common acronyms and terms used in Eve.
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| {{FAQ Simple
| |
| |Question= Where can I ask questions?
| |
| |Answer= When you are in game, most questions can be answered by other members in the "Chat.E-Uni" channel, and out of game you can post questions on the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/ forums], which are very well frequented by both current members and former members.
| |
| | |
| A more detailed list of available chat channels and mailing lists is available in the corporate bulletins.

| |
| | |
| {{FAQ Simple
| |
| |Question= The University is a large corporation, how do I meet fellow members with similar interests?
| |
| |Answer= The first place to look would be in various [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|chat channels]]. Exploration.E-UNI is the channel for exploration, from scanning to wormholes. Industry.E-UNI is the channel mining, research, production and marketing. Missions.E-UNI is the channel for mission and incursion runners. Mess.ILN is the channel for PVPers and those interested in fleet command.
| |
| | |
| There are also different channels on our Mumble server. There is the Public Lounge, various on-demand channels which users can create, and fleet operation channels.

| |
| | |
| {{FAQ Simple
| |
| |Question= I have negative standing with the Amarr/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar faction, is that going to be a problem?
| |
| |Answer= If your standings with an empire faction go below -5, you will not be able to enter their space without being shot. We usually recommend declining empire faction kill missions to avoid being in this situation. Having -5 or below standings with an empire faction can cause problems during war fleets, lowsec patrols, wormhole ops, and many other circumstances.
| |
| | |
| When you have -2 or below standing with a faction, only the Level 1 agents will be available to grind standings, which could be a lengthy process.
| |
| | |
| You can check mission information before accepting or declining on [http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports Eve Survival].
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| {{FAQ Simple
| |
| |Question= Should I join the militia?
| |
| |Answer= The Advanced Warfare tutorial gives a Letter of Recommendation which new players can use to join the militia without having to grind standings. However, if you join the NPC militia, or any other player-run Faction Warfare corporation, you will no longer be a member of Eve University.
