'''Project Solitude''' was one of several [[campuses]] within EVE University. A venture to establish a multifaceted presence in the highsec island of Solitude, it was active between 2012 and 2020. This page represents Solitude as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of January 2021, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Solitude, with the campus closed due to low activity.

Solitude Campus provides an isolated environment for EVE University students, without frequent war targets but at the same time without easy access to major trade hubs.  You will require a level of motivation and self-sufficiency to survive. Solitude thrives on versatility and new players can instantly have an impact on the Campus and the area. Due to our relative remoteness we all have to work together to maintain our community, we engage in exploration, industry, mining, PvE and PvP; we have access to and regularly visit all levels of space (highsec, lowsec, null, daytriping in wh space).

Solitude Campus runs the local trade hub in our Fortizar - Gravity Well. We built it, we run it and we stock it.  In fact all of our key structures that form our base of operations were 100% built by the Solitude Campus members (and visiting unistas) via mining fleets, PVE fleets, Planetary Interaction and donations, showing our community spirit and commitment.  Come help us grow the Campus and the region, while learning from our friendly veterans.

Class syllabus: [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Solitude_101 Solitude_101]
+
Joining the Solitude Campus is as simple as joining the ingame {{co|slateblue|Solitude (EVE Uni)}} chat channel. Here, you can ask any of the campus members questions about life in Solitude and how to get involved with the community. Similarly, join us on mumble and talk direct to our campus members. There are no official title requirements for joining Solitude, and you do not need to commit any specific amount of time to the campus.  [[Archive:Travel to Solitude|Come on over]] and pay us a visit.

The mission of Project: Solitude is to provide an isolated environment where students require motivation and self-sufficiency to survive, as well as provide easy access to low-sec and null-sec opportunities.  The primary focus is on teaching students to survive without easy access to trade hubs and to live in a secluded high-sec pocket.

[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], Solitude 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.  
−
Towards the end of July 2012, the EVE University management decided to launch project Solitude. The initial [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=56961 announcement] by CEO Kelduum Revaan outlining a brief history of the Uni and putting this project in its context can be found here.

−
In a nutshell, the primary aim of Project Solitude is to establish a University presence in a high-sec pocket surrounded by low-sec and 0.0 space, and to help build a centralised trade hub for the region.

To the east is a high-sec pocket consisting of 17 systems with a second entrance to Syndicate. This pocket also contains the systems of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude/Oerse Oerse] where the E-Uni regional HQ is located, and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude/Octanneve Octanneve], which has been chosen as the place to establish a trade hub. A further high-sec pocket of 3 systems can be found to the north of the region.

==== E-Uni Regional HQ ====
 
−
 
 
−
[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Oerse_VI_-_Moon_10_-_Quafe_Company_Retail_Center Oerse VI - Moon 10] contains a university office and contains shared university hangars.  These hangars are organized in a similar way to the hangars in Aldrat.
 
−
 
 
−
Within the Alpha hangar the following containers are available:
 
−
 
 
−
'''Solitude Donations''' - items deposited into this container are considered to be donated to the Project: Solitude and will become University property.  Items in this container can only be retrieved by certain personnel.  Once this container is processed, items are generally moved to Alpha or Theta hangars depending on the items.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Alpha Ammo''' - This bin is used to store ammunition for frigate sized ships.  Items in this container can be accessed by those with the Freshman title, and are freely available to take as needed.  Please remember that other students also use this container, so please only take what will satisfy your immediate needs.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Alpha Modules''' - This bin contains modules that Freshmen can access.  Again, please only take what you will need.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Solitude Skill Books''' - This bin stores skill books for student use.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Solitude Inventory''' - This bin is used to replenish the Alpha and Theta Ammo and Modules bins.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Solitude Bookmarks''' - This bin stores bookmarks for sites explorers have found, but not run.
 
−
 
 
−
In the Theta hangar, there are the Theta Ammo and Theta Modules containers.  These follow the same rules as Alpha Ammo and Alpha Modules, only for larger ships.
 
−
 
 
−
Please do not place items in any bins other than the Solitude Donations bin.  Remember to lock the stacks when you are finished, otherwise another Unista could clean out the stacks you unlocked and you would be the one in the log files as having taken everything out.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Solitude Trade Hub ====
 
−
 
 
−
After weighting the pros and cons, members already living in the area settled on [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Octanneve_III_-_Moon_1_-_Federation_Customs_Logistic_Support Octanneve III – Moon 1 - Federation Customs Logistics Support] as the station of choice for the regional trade hub. People are of course free to put up their sales orders in any station they desire. However, in order to help achieve the goal of a centralised trading hub, it is advised to use Octanneve III-1 for trading activities as much as possible.

Living in Solitude has certain advantages over the main high-sec Empire regions. Having said that, the confined nature of the area also has its challenges. Things to be considered before deciding whether to move or not are:
  
−
==== Advantages ====
+
=== Advantages ===
−
 
+
*Casual atmosphere, the general lack of war targets means we don't insist on players being in mumble and fleet normally.
−
*Far from Aldrat, making war target encounters less likely
+
*The largest campus BPO library, available to all members to make BPCs.
−
*Easier to organize awareness of WTs in the region and their location
+
*Stocked Flight Deck and Main hangars, with a good range of beginner hulls, modules and rigs.
−
*Significantly shorter waiting times and reduced cost for use of public research installations
+
*A smaller community, which means you'll regularly see and potentially fly with familiar faces.
−
*Easier access to low-sec PI while still living in the relative safety of high-sec
+
*Far from mainland high sec, making war target encounters a lot less likely.
−
*Easier access to low-sec ores in sparsely populated systems
+
*Easier to organize awareness of WTs in the region and their location (if you ever see one).
−
 
+
*Easier access to low-sec PI while still living in the relative safety of high-sec.
−
==== Disadvantages ====
+
*Easier access to low-sec ores in sparsely populated systems.
−
 
+
*Quick access to NPC null-sec space for PvP excursions.
−
*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
 
−
*Certain Uni programs ([http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/BYOM BYOM] / [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/PYOS_Ship_Production PYOS] / [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Ship_Replacement_Program Ship Replacement Program]) are yet to be extended to Solitude

== Who runs the project? ==
 
−
 
 
−
Project Solitude is a consolidated effort of volunteers and pioneers with the aim to establish an area where people can flourish.  Although there are no restrictions on venturing into low-sec and null-sec space, the project mainly revolves around the larger high-sec pocket in the region. Project: Solitude is subject to all EVE University rules, and is not exempt from the standard rules or the Wartime Standard Operating Procedure.

== Programs Available in Solitude==
 
−
 
 
−
There are a few programs available to Unistas in Solitude.  
 
−
 
 
−
* [[Solitude Coordinated Scanning Endeavour]]
 
−
The Solitude Coordinated Scanning Endeavor is the life blood of our logistics.  The high-sec to high-sec wormholes they find are key in moving goods in and out of the area safely. 
 
−
 
 
−
* [[Solitude Ship Building Program]]
 
−
The Solitude Ship Building Program builds t1 frigates, cruisers, and destroyers for University members in the Solitude region.
 
−
 
 
−
== What do I need to become a 'Solidude'? ==
 
−
 
 
−
The only mandatory requirement for a life in Solitude is a healthy dose of pioneer/explorer spirit along with a determination to overcome the challenges of living in a confined high-sec area. All other skills are optional. Project Solitude is open to members of all levels: from people who only just started out in EVE and are new to the Uni, to advanced industrialists, explorers, PVP’ers, etc…

== How to get to Solitude ==
 
−
 
 
−
==== Taking the 'Pod Express' ====
 
−
 
 
−
*As long as you don’t have any implants in your clone and your new medical clone is fairly cheap, you can travel to Solitude by “Pod Express”. Change your medical clone location to one of the stations in Oerse and then self-destruct your pod. It might be a good idea to get a jump clone in empire first so you can jump back to HQ if need be.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Dodging pirates in low-sec ====
 
−
 
 
−
*This is the [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Bherdasopt:Yvelet long route] via Aridia , from Bherdasopt (high-sec) through Gonditsa, Otakod, Agaullores and Yveve to Yvelet (high-sec). The biggest risk of this particular route is a persistent gatecamp of the Bherdasopt gate in Gondista. When planning to take this route, it might be a good idea to contact the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Low-Sec_Camp LSC] and check if the area is safe.
 
−
*Read the [[Safety_Tips_for_Operating_in_Low_Sec|Safety Tips for Operating in Low Sec]] for additional information.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Facing the quiet dangers of null-sec ====
 
−
 
 
−
*For those brave enough to venture into null-sec, there are two possible routes through Syndicate to get to Solitude:
 
−
**[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Stacmon:Boystin Route 1] starts in Stacmon (0.6) and goes through two low-sec systems (Ostingele and Harroule) and enters Syndicate at MHC-R3. It then carries on via M2-CF1, Y9G-KS, Pertnineere (low-sec) and then Boystin (high-sec)
 
−
**[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Chesiette:Boystin Route 2] starts in Chesiette (0.6) and goes through one low-sec system (Reblier) and enters Syndicate at 6-CZ49. This route also ends up at M2-CF1 and follows the rest of the path to Solitude as mentioned above.
 
−
 
 
−
*Please visit the Solitude.E-Uni channel before travelling through Syndicate. The above mentioned pipes are frequently bring travelled by members already based in Solitude and some viable intel might be available.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Jumping down a Wormhole ====
 
−
 
 
−
*The ‘Solitude Co-ordinated Scanning Endeavour’ finds hisec-to-hisec wormholes on average two to three times a week. This makes it a lot easier for those wanting to move assets into the region without having to go through the dangerous low-sec or null-sec pipes. Entry and exit points for active WH’s can usually be found in the Project Solitude bookmarks folder. Notifications are being sent out via a mailing list that has been created specifically for this purpose. Please check the forum or ask in Solitude.E-Uni for further details.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Making use of courier services ====
 
−
 
 
−
*Wormholes have a limited time and mass. As such, it might not always be possible for members to make good use of them. An alternative is to use a courier to move assets into the region. Although there are many courier services around, [http://black-frog.red-frog.org/jumps.php Black Frog] is probably the best known. Note though that using courier services can be a quite costly exercise. Black Frog for example, charges 100,000,000 ISK to move up to 320,000 m3 from Aldrat to Oerse.
 
−
*Several E-UNI members routinely move materials into Solitude and may be willing to accept courier contracts. Pricing is typically negotiable. New players needing small packages moved may find a courier willing to move the goods for a significant discount. Please see the following forum posts for details:

=== What to bring and What NOT to bring ===
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
 
 
−
Due to the limited travel oppurtunity (we need a WH to go out), you are expected to bring whatver you might need to here.
 
−
 
 
−
Some stuff are cheaper while some stuff are way expensive (imagine a tech I stuff costing hundres of thousands when cost only thousands outside).
 
−
 
 
−
The alpha hanger may be helpful.
 
−
 
 
−
==== What to bring ====
 
−
 
 
−
In order of importance:
 
−
===== Modules Tech II =====
 
−
Be ready to have spare, and be conclusive. You want to have as few shopping trips as possible.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===== Modules Tech I =====
 
−
 
 
−
'''Price double what it is outside'''. Some modules are just nonexistent here. Bring cloaking device if you are interested in running WH and WH travel.
 
−
 
 
−
===== Scanning related =====
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===== Skillbooks =====
 
−
 
 
−
Yes there is a school around here. But chances are the skils you need are not seeded here.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===== general supplies =====
 
−
Bring crystals and missiles if you use them. Some ammo for a few days (local ammo may be cheaper especially if you fly hybrids). Nanopaste and cap boosters if you are really going to low and null on a daily basis and finding fights. Most corps here are friendly.
 
−
 
 
−
===== Mission gate keys and Insignias =====
 
−
 
 
−
Only if you really need them to run lvl 3 and lvl 4s.
 
−
 
 
−
===== Tech I Industrial =====
 
−
 
 
−
Amazingly, they are not cheaper here. Bring one in if you know what you are doing and you are really settling in.
 
−
 
 
−
An ''imicus'' is a more sensible alternative with 400 m^3 cargo.
 
−
 
 
−
==== What NOT to bring ====
 
−
 
 
−
===== (Debatable) Expensive/Rare ships =====
 
−
 
 
−
Many ships are cheaper here due to proximity to null. Big ships also cost WH mass. WH mass is one of the limiting factor in considering traveling.
 
−
 
 
−
If you bring something shiny that you will rarely use, it is just going to mothball.
 
−
 
 
−
===== Ordinary Sub-Capitals =====
 
−
 
 
−
As told before ships are really cheaper here. And losing a BC traveling through WH is unproductive and embarassing.
 
−
 
 
−
== Missioning in Solitude: ==
 
−
 
 
−
There are a number of good security mission corps in Solitude - Federation Customs, Federal Intelligence Office, Federation Navy, Poteque pharmaceuticals. 
 
−
While there are a number of other stations, agents, and offices (as found at [http://util.eveuniversity.org/Missions/AgentRangefinder/ Agent Range Finder]); listed below are the corporations with level 4 security agents which are the easiest to grind up while in Solitude. From time to time E-Uni members will even organize [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mission_Fleet_(Spider)/ Spider] and/or [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mission_Fleet_(Locust)#Locust/ Locust] fleets throughout Solitude to further help grind up standings for those that are new to the area. Other than the few level 4 agents notated**, only the high security space agents are listed.

−
 
 
−
==== Ladar Sites ====
 
−
Ladar sites are very frequent finds for the exploration teams in Solitude in the high sec and losec locations.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Ice Belts ====
 
−
* Niballe (0.6 / 2 jumps from Oerse) is the most popular ice belt in the area.  Regulars are generally friendly and plenty of ice to go around.
 
−
* Cadelanne (0.1 / 10 jumps from Oerse) typically only has a few residents, often blue.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Regular Mining ====
 
−
 
 
−
* The EVE University student organized [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Amarr_Mining_Camp Amarr Mining Camp(us)], also known as "The AMC", has a satellite office located in Solitude, with many of its organizers and coordinators active in the region. The AMC helps support Unista and Alumni miners with several services: Access to corp hangers for mining supplies, assistance in organizing mining fleets, and with refining ore at no cost. For more information on the locations of these services, join the AMC chat channel "'''Amarr Mining Camp'''" (password: same as standard E-Uni channels) and the AMC mailing list (also "Amarr Mining Camp"). Also, visit the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=233&start=0 Amarr Mining Campus Forum] for additional support.
 
−
 
 
−
* Harner (0.1 / 4 jumps) is a single asteroid belt location with some nice asteroids.  It's generally empty aside from an occasional visit from ratters or explorers.  That said, Sarline (the only way out of the dead end ring) semi-frequently has a pirate (typically solo) guarding the exit.
 
  
 +
=== Disadvantages ===
 +
*Limited availability of some items on the local market.
 +
*Potentially higher prices for items that are available on the market.
 +
*Getting stuff to/from the large market hubs is slower or reliant on High-Sec-to-High-Sec wormholes being found.
 +
*Flying to Solitude requires extended travel through low or null sec (low sec route is recommended).
  
−
== [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=218 Project Solitude Forum - Get in touch] ==
+
=== What can I do? ===
 +
*Exploration - sharpen your scanning skills and run data & relic sites. Due to our isolation, scanning down signatures, exploring sites and discovering [[Wormholes]] is a big part of Solitude life.
 +
*Mission - Solitude is a great place to run missions and participate in PVE fleets with experienced players. Visit the [[Archive:Missioning_in_Solitude]] page for more information.
 +
*Mine - plenty of belts and opportunities to mine solo or in a fleet. Organize and run your first mining fleet! A collection of valuable moon mining opportunities also await.
 +
*PVP - be part of small gang PVP. Try solo PVP. FC a small roam. Proximity to the NSC means you get twice as many opportunities.
 +
*PI - Learn [[Planetary Interaction]]; try it in High Sec and then expand into the nearby Low Sec and Null Sec areas for maximum profit.
 +
*Industry - plenty of opportunity to build things. Take part in team efforts to build large capital ships. Learn research and invention with the advice of very experienced players. Visit the [[Archive:Industry in Solitude]] page for more details.

Project Solitude was one of several campuses within EVE University. A venture to establish a multifaceted presence in the highsec island of Solitude, it was active between 2012 and 2020. This page represents Solitude as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of January 2021, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Solitude, with the campus closed due to low activity.

Why Solitude?

Solitude Campus provides an isolated environment for EVE University students, without frequent war targets but at the same time without easy access to major trade hubs. You will require a level of motivation and self-sufficiency to survive. Solitude thrives on versatility and new players can instantly have an impact on the Campus and the area. Due to our relative remoteness we all have to work together to maintain our community, we engage in exploration, industry, mining, PvE and PvP; we have access to and regularly visit all levels of space (highsec, lowsec, null, daytriping in wh space).

Solitude Campus runs the local trade hub in our Fortizar - Gravity Well. We built it, we run it and we stock it. In fact all of our key structures that form our base of operations were 100% built by the Solitude Campus members (and visiting unistas) via mining fleets, PVE fleets, Planetary Interaction and donations, showing our community spirit and commitment. Come help us grow the Campus and the region, while learning from our friendly veterans.

Joining the Campus

Joining the Solitude Campus is as simple as joining the ingame Solitude (EVE Uni) chat channel. Here, you can ask any of the campus members questions about life in Solitude and how to get involved with the community. Similarly, join us on mumble and talk direct to our campus members. There are no official title requirements for joining Solitude, and you do not need to commit any specific amount of time to the campus. Come on over and pay us a visit.

Communication

We use the following EVE University services for communication:

  • Ingame chat channel Solitude (EVE Uni) (need to be a current member of the Uni and have access to the channel password thread).
  • Ingame mailing list Solitude.E-Uni (current unistas can join freely, ex-unistas needs to ask the Campus Leadership for permission).
  • The Mumble channel Solitude Campus under Special Projects & Events (need to be registered on the forum).
  • Solitude Campus on the E-Uni Discord server
  • The Solitude Campus section on the forum.

Campus Details

On 31st December 2020 EVE University closed this campus and all its operations in the solitude region.

Overview of the Solitude Region

Solitude is a smallish region consisting of only 43 systems under the sovereignty of the Gallente Federation. Wedged between Aridia and Syndicate, Solitude 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 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.

What it means to live in Solitude

Living in Solitude has certain advantages over the main high-sec Empire regions. Having said that, the confined nature of the area also has its challenges. Things to be considered before deciding whether to move or not are:

Advantages

  • Casual atmosphere, the general lack of war targets means we don't insist on players being in mumble and fleet normally.
  • The largest campus BPO library, available to all members to make BPCs.
  • Stocked Flight Deck and Main hangars, with a good range of beginner hulls, modules and rigs.
  • A smaller community, which means you'll regularly see and potentially fly with familiar faces.
  • Far from mainland high sec, making war target encounters a lot less likely.
  • Easier to organize awareness of WTs in the region and their location (if you ever see one).
  • 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.

Disadvantages

  • Limited availability of some items on the local market.
  • Potentially higher prices for items that are available on the market.
  • Getting stuff to/from the large market hubs is slower or reliant on High-Sec-to-High-Sec wormholes being found.
  • Flying to Solitude requires extended travel through low or null sec (low sec route is recommended).

What can I do?

  • Exploration - sharpen your scanning skills and run data & relic sites. Due to our isolation, scanning down signatures, exploring sites and discovering Wormholes is a big part of Solitude life.
  • Mission - Solitude is a great place to run missions and participate in PVE fleets with experienced players. Visit the Archive:Missioning_in_Solitude page for more information.
  • Mine - plenty of belts and opportunities to mine solo or in a fleet. Organize and run your first mining fleet! A collection of valuable moon mining opportunities also await.
  • PVP - be part of small gang PVP. Try solo PVP. FC a small roam. Proximity to the NSC means you get twice as many opportunities.
  • PI - Learn Planetary Interaction; try it in High Sec and then expand into the nearby Low Sec and Null Sec areas for maximum profit.
  • Industry - plenty of opportunity to build things. Take part in team efforts to build large capital ships. Learn research and invention with the advice of very experienced players. Visit the Archive:Industry in Solitude page for more details.
  • Trade - We own the trade hub of the region - Gravity Well. Learn market PVP, without the BOTs from the large hubs that undercut you within minutes.
  • Socialize - you will meet the same people (unistas and others) again and again - talk to them! Fly with them! Part of the charm of the Solitude Campus is the close knit community.
  • Field trips - just explore Low Sec and Null Sec, and learn about gate and station guns, how bubbles work, how to scout your way and practice how to evade gate camps.
