===Alts===
+
=== Local Chat ===
The Amarr Mining campus is currently open to Alts from any IVY League members and alumni. We do not include +5 (NAP) or +10 (Friends) for two main reasons:
+
* Never use the local chat to talk about any AMC related things.
#Our priority is not to help +5/+10s make or maximize ISK or teach them about mining, they have their own corp resources for that.
+
* Always avoid using the local chat channel if possible.
#We prefer to keep the operation of the AMC as secure as possible while still open and accessible to E-UNI players. Admittedly, it is a delicate and difficult balance to maintain.
 
====Alt Rules while at the AMC====
 
*Any Alt that should participate in a AMC operation needs to be approved by an Amarr Mining Campus [[#Leadership|Officer]] in advance.
 
*Each Fleet Commander can access a list of approved members and alts when running a fleet.
 
  
==Mining Operations==
+
=== Communication ===
Every member of the AMC is encouraged to join any existing AMC mining operation or to plan a AMC mining operation as a Fleet Commander on their own. There is no need of special skills to run or join a mining operation. If you're planning to run a mining operation you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine and haul. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at the same time.
+
* AMC Campus communication are "open comms" by default.
 +
* When first entering the campus mumble, please wait a moment before speaking so as not to interrupt any ongoing communication.
 +
* When running a fleet move to a AMC fleet channel in mumble to keep the main channel free for normal communication.
  
Most of the time AMC [[#Shared Can|Shared Can]] operation are announcement on our MailingList so everybody can see if it's possible to join this operation, often there are spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand.<br />
+
=== Bookmarking ===
Frequently there are running [[#Mining Booster Fleets (BYOC)|BYOCs]] you can join, ask in our chat channel to see if there is one up at the moment.
+
* Do not share any AMC related bookmarks in the Corpation Bookmarks.
 +
* To share AMC related bookmarks use the Bookmark Container in the Homestation Hanger.
  
To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining capable ship fit with mining lasers. You may also use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate to fit your fleet role. If you require a [[Venture]] or [[Mining_Barge#Mining_Barges|Mining Barge]] you can ask for a 2-week loan following the same rules as the Eve University [[Mining Loaner Fleet]] or purchase one at a reduced cost.
+
=== Alts ===
 +
The '''Amarr Mining Campus''' is currently open to Alts from any IVY League members and alumni. We do not include +5 (NAP) or +10 (Friends) for two main reasons:

 +
* Each Fleet Commander can access a list of approved members and alts when running a fleet.
  
===Mining Booster Fleets (BYOC)===
+
== Mining Operations ==
A BYOC mining operation boosts your mining yield and mining laser range dependent on the boosters fit and skills.
+
Every member of the AMC is encouraged to join any existing AMC mining operation or to plan an AMC mining operation as a Fleet Commander on their own. There is no need for special skills to run or join a mining operation. If you're planning to run a mining operation you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine and haul. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at the same time.
  
All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots and they don't receive anything from the AMC. It is courteous to thank the boosting pilot by tipping a part of the increased yield.
+
Most of the time AMC [[#Shared Can|Shared Can]] operations are announced on our Mailing List so everybody can see if it's possible to join the operation, often there are spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand.<br />
 +
Frequently there are [[#Mining Booster Fleets (BYOC)|BYOCs]] running that you can join, ask in our chat channel to see if there is one running at the moment.
  
===Shared Can===
+
To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining capable ship fitted with mining lasers. Further you are able to use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate fitted to your fleet role. If you require a [[Venture]] or [[Mining Barge#Mining Barges|Mining Barge]] you can ask for a 2-week loan following the same rules as the Eve University [[Mining Loaner Fleet]] or purchase one at a reduced cost.
Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander plans to have boosters and haulers available at the planed operation time. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they can afford the time. After the mining operation the ore is sold with the [[#AMC Buy-Back|AMC Buy-Back Service]] and split up between the members equally to their attended time.

=== Mining Booster Fleets (BYOC) ===
 +
A BYOC mining operation boosts your mining yield and mining laser range dependent on the boosters fitted and skills.
  
==Miners==
+
All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots and they don't receive anything from the AMC. It is courteous to thank the boosting pilot by tipping a part of the increased yield.
===Marking Lasers===
 
In ‘[[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|Shared Can]]’ operations, the fleet commanders need to keep track of each person’s contribution. In the AMC, this is measured by the time each member spent mining. Follow the simple steps below to ensure you get the correct payout for the fleet:
 
  
'''LASERS ON TT:TT''' (replacing TT:TT with the server time) this is to be used when you start mining.
+
=== Shared Can ===
 +
Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander plans to have boosters and haulers available at the planed operation time. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they can afford the time. After the mining operation the ore is sold with the [[#AMC Buy-Back|AMC Buy-Back Service]] and split up between the members equally according to their attended time.
  
'''LASERS OFF TT:TT''' (again replacing TT:TT with server time) this is to be used when you stop mining, or leave your computer for more than your Laser’s cycle time.
+
== Running an AMC Shared Can Mining Operation ==
 +
While running Amarr Mining Campus Shared Can Mining Operations please use the following rules and guidelines to run the operation smoothly.
  
When changing belts or re-targeting asteroids, you need not give a lasers off. Lasers off is only required for when you are stopping when everyone else is continuing.
+
In this section HH:MM should be replaced with the current eve server time.
  
===Jet-Can Naming===
+
In Shared Can operations, the fleet commanders need to keep track of each person’s contribution.
For ‘[[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|Shared Can]]’ operations, you will be mining into jetcans, which the Haulers will collect to haul back to station. Try to share a can with somebody when possible, but if there are none in reach then just create your own. We have a naming scheme for jetcans, as follows:
+
In the AMC, this is measured by the time each member spent mining, hauling or boosting.
  
'''FLEET TT:TT''' (this can is in use, and was jettisoned at <timestamp> EVE-server time)
+
Any announcements whilst participating the mining operation must be written to the fleet chat.<br />
 +
If you fail to announce your ON / OFF times you will not be properly paid due to be no record of you times.
  
'''FULL TT:TT''' (this can is full to 27,500m3 or as near as possible, it retains the time from when it was a FLEET can)
+
Follow the simple steps below to ensure you get the correct payout for the fleet:
 +
=== Miners ===
 +
While you are a member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding the ore and asteroid belts you're mining.
  
'''PULL TT:TT''' (this can is not yet full, but is no longer being used, such as when you run out of asteroids to mine but haven't yet filled the can)
+
Please check before putting a mining laser on a new asteroid whilst mining to ensure that nobody is already mining from this asteroid (easiest way is ALT-Click - View).
 +
==== Announcing start/end times ====
 +
'''LASERS ON HH:MM''' this is to be used when you start mining.
  
We use the time on cans to ensure that they do not reach the end of their 2 hour lifespan and pop, wasting the ore inside. The time on a can should remain the same as that was the time it was jettisoned, and not the time when it's name was changed.
+
'''LASERS OFF HH:MM''' this is to be used when you stop mining, or leave your computer for more than your Laser’s cycle time.
  
For detailed information on participating in a mining operation see [[Participating in a Mining Op]].
+
When changing belts or re-targeting asteroids, you need not give a lasers off. Lasers off is only required for when you stop mining and the operation has not been ended.
 +
==== Jet-Can Naming ====
 +
For Shared Can operations, you will be mining into jetcans, which the Haulers will collect to haul back to station.
 +
Try to share a can with somebody when possible, but if there are none in reach then just create your own.
  
==Haulers==
+
We have a naming scheme for jetcans, as follows:
===Announcing start/end times===
 
Similar as miners, haulers need to announce the times when they start hauling or stop hauling, so the fleet commander can payout the haulers based on the time they were hauling.
 
===Contracting the ore===
 
At the end of the operation, or when you stop hauling, you contract all the ore you've hauled at the station to the fleet commander.
 
==Boosters==
 
==Commanders==
 
  
===Spreadsheet===
+
'''FLEET HH:MM''' this can is in use, and was jettisoned at the given time
As an AMC FC, it is required for you to keep track of your Fleet; recording each member's participation, share weights, amount of ore mined, prices of ore, etcetera. The easiest, and preferred way to do this is to use a Spreadsheet - namely the '[[AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet]]'. It's not as hard as it sounds - it's actually pretty simple, so please do not be afraid of becoming a Fleet Commander because of the Spreadsheet business. If you ever get stuck, just ask around and there's bound to be someone who can give you a hand.
 
  
===MOTD (Message of the Day)===
+
'''FULL HH:MM''' this can is full to 27,500m3 or as near as possible. It will be picked up by a hauler. ''Do not change the time, only change the caption.'' The time is required to know when the can might expire.
  
When your Fleet is running, you have the opportunity to create an MOTD (Message of the Day). You can place some important information on the MOTD for the whole Fleet (especially new joiners) to see; for example:
+
'''PULL HH:MM''' this can is not yet full, but is no longer being used, such as when you run out of asteroids to mine but haven't yet filled the can. It will be picked up by a hauler. ''Do not change the time, only change the caption.'' The time is required to know when the can might expire.
  
*Time Started
+
This may be subject to change following [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=233&t=72239 this poll]. Vote if you wish to see it change or remain the same.
*Time End (estimate)
 
*Location (Be careful with this during wartime, WTs may have alts infiltrating the university)
 
*Priority Ore
 
*Spreadsheet Link
 
*Reminders of Procedures (''Naming Cans, etc'')
 
*Personal Notes
 
  
To set the MOTD follow these steps:
+
=== Haulers ===
 +
While being member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding location the or has to be hauled to.
 +
==== Announcing start/end times ====
 +
'''HAULING ON HH:MM''' this is to be used when you start hauling.
  
*1. Right-Click on the 'Fleet' Tab
+
'''HAULING OFF HH:MM''' this is to be used when you stop hauling, or leave your computer for more then 2 minutes.
*2. In the drop-down, select the 'Settings' option
 
*3. There should be an MOTD text box. This is where you type out your MOTD.
 
  
For detailed information on how to run a mining operation see [[Running a Mining Op]].
+
While you are waiting for new cans to be full you do not need to announce '''HAULING OFF'''.
 +
==== Contracting the ore ====
 +
At the end of the operation, or when you stop hauling, you need to contract all the ore you've hauled at the station to the fleet commander.
 +
=== Boosters ===
 +
While you are a member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding the system you're providing the boost in.
 +
==== Announcing start/end times ====
 +
'''BOOST ON HH:MM''' this is to be used when you start boosting.
  
==What Can I Do in AMC?==
+
'''BOOST OFF HH:MM''' this is to be used when you stop boosting, or leave your computer for more than your booster cycle time.

===<span style="color:#66CDAA">AMC Buy-Back</span>===
 
If you are an AMC Miner or Fleet Commander that has run an operation or have simply been solo-mining but don't want to go through the hassle of hauling, refining and then selling the ore yourself then you’re in luck. As an AMC student, you are able to take advantage of the ‘Buy-Back’ program. You can find full instructions [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet here]
 
  
===<span style="color:#66CDAA">Free T1 Modules/Ships</span>===
+
Please only announce '''BOOST OFF''' when you're leaving the operation. While traveling between belts or systems the same rule as to all others apply.
If you're concerned that you don't have the best ship for mining or can't contribute to a mining fleet, worry not, the AMC is offering a free [[Venture]] and the following list of T1 modules to fit your ships:
 
  
*[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Survey_Scanner_I Survey Scanner I]
+
If boosting on grid. Before moving to a new belt inform the fleet of you intention to move and at half you maximum velocity ask the fleet "cycle lasers". On entering warp announce to the fleet "in warp". Once your ship has landed on grid with the fleet activate your boosters and say "boosts back on" in mumble. This allows fleet members to cycle their lasers and avoid them loosing the yield from a failed cycle.

NOTE: We are no longer able to give away free retrievers due to the increase in cost, but instead we are able to loan them out on a 2-week basis following the same rules as the uni loaner fleet [[Mining Loaner Fleet]] and also to purchase at a slightly reduced cost.
+
=== Scouts ===
 +
Running AMC mining operations while EVE University is at war we recommended you send out scouts to the nearby systems to watch for war targets.
 +
If any war targets come near the mining operation the operation should dock up to be safe.

When you're planning to run a mining operation please prepare the necessary paperwork (Spreadsheet) and the MOTD before starting the fleet.
  
====<span style="color:#66CDAA">T2 Module Lottery</span>====
+
==== Spreadsheet ====
A lottery is conducted for every shared can mining fleet in which all participants have a random (equal) chance of winning a T2 module from the following list:
+
As an AMC FC, it is required for you to keep track of your Fleet; recording each member's participation, share weights, amount of ore mined, prices of ore, etcetera. To save all the required information the AMC provides a Spreadsheet - namely the '[[Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet]]'. Please make sure you're sharing the spreadsheet with "anyone with the link" as you will write this link to the MOTD.

*1. Our priority is not to help +5/+10s make or maximize ISK or teach them about mining, they have their own corp resources for that.
 
 
 
*2. We prefer to keep the operation of the AMC as secure as possible while still open and accessible to E-UNI players. ''Admittedly, it is a delicate and difficult balance to maintain.''
 
 
 
To reiterate, we prioritize the need to help E-UNI miners in a secure environment above all other considerations.
 
 
 
'''''The above is a guideline - It is subject to future revisions'''. Note: It is to the Fleet Commander's own discretion in choosing who is a member of their fleet.''
 
 
 
The AMC was initiated by ''Seranti Olerie'', ''Ubermensch Invictus'' and ''Vger Starseed'' in March 2012. However, Seranti and Uber have moved on to other things in Eve. Now Vger along with ''Cartilige Deninard'' is operating the AMC. These experienced Miners, each backed with a wide variety of knowledge in the sector and by creating the '''Amarr Mining Camp''', they have offered to pass their knowledge onto less seasoned students. A [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao3i07DncK1hdHhiOHduTXBNREU1dWl2SHZ2cjFCSmc#gid=19_AMC roster] of current AMC Staff organizers are also listed in the Endeavour Spreadsheet.
 
== Procedures ==
 
 
 
=== Fleets ===
 
 
 
==== Miners ====
 
 
 
===== Marking Lasers =====
 
In ‘[[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|Shared Can]]’ operations, the fleet commanders need to keep track of each person’s contribution. In the AMC, this is measured by the time each member spent mining. Follow the simple steps below to ensure you get the correct payout for the fleet:
 
 
 
'''LASERS ON TT:TT''' (replacing TT:TT with the server time) this is to be used when you start mining.
 
 
 
'''LASERS OFF TT:TT''' (again replacing TT:TT with server time) this is to be used when you stop mining, or leave your computer for more than your Laser’s cycle time.
 
 
 
When changing belts or re-targeting asteroids, you need not give a lasers off. Lasers off is only required for when you are stopping when everyone else is continuing.
 
 
 
===== Jet-Can Naming =====
 
For ‘[[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|Shared Can]]’ operations, you will be mining into jetcans, which the Haulers will collect to haul back to station. Try to share a can with somebody when possible, but if there are none in reach then just create your own. We have a naming scheme for jetcans, as follows:
 
 
 
'''FLEET TT:TT''' (this can is in use, and was jettisoned at <timestamp> EVE-server time)
 
 
 
'''FULL TT:TT''' (this can is full to 27,500m3 or as near as possible, it retains the time from when it was a FLEET can)
 
 
 
'''PULL TT:TT''' (this can is not yet full, but is no longer being used, such as when you run out of asteroids to mine but haven't yet filled the can)
 
 
 
We use the time on cans to ensure that they do not reach the end of their 2 hour lifespan and pop, wasting the ore inside. The time on a can should remain the same as that was the time it was jettisoned, and not the time when it's name was changed.
 
 
 
For detailed information on participating in a mining operation see [[Participating in a Mining Op]].
 
 
 
==== Haulers ====
 
 
 
===== Announcing start/end times =====
 
 
 
Similar as miners, haulers need to announce the times when they start hauling or stop hauling, so the fleet commander can payout the haulers based on the time they were hauling.  
 
 
 
===== Contracting the ore =====
 
  
At the end of the operation, or when you stop hauling, you contract all the ore you've hauled at the station to the fleet commander.

== Services ==
 +
=== AMC Buy-Back ===
 +
While you are a member of the '''Amarr Mining Campus''' you can use the AMC Buy-Back service to sell your ore or minerals directly within the AMC Home System and some of the surrounding systems. You will be paid out as the Buy-Back is accepted and afterwards refining, hauling and selling will be taken over by an AMC team.
  
As an AMC FC, it is required for you to keep track of your Fleet; recording each member's participation, share weights, amount of ore mined, prices of ore, etcetera. The easiest, and preferred way to do this is to use a Spreadsheet - namely the '[[AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet]]'. It's not as hard as it sounds - it's actually pretty simple, so please do not be afraid of becoming a Fleet Commander because of the Spreadsheet business. If you ever get stuck, just ask around and there's bound to be someone who can give you a hand.
+
The price that is paid trough the Buy-Back is slightly below the Jita prices to make sure that all costs for hauling and selling are covered. Any difference between the payout and the actual sale value is used to run the AMC. For example the [[#Free T1 Modules/Ships|Free T1 Modules/Ships]] and [[#T2 Module Lottery|T2 Module Lottery]] is paid out of this profit.
  
===== MOTD (Message of the Day) =====
+
With this point in mind it is recommended to use this service to support the AMC for further members. This will also save you from hauling ore or minerals to market yourself. That you use this AMC Service please refer to the corresponding [[Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|Wiki Page]]. You can however use this if you so wish.
  
When your Fleet is running, you have the opportunity to create an MOTD (Message of the Day). You can place some important information on the MOTD for the whole Fleet (especially new joiners) to see; for example:
+
=== Free T1 Mining Ship ===
 +
When you join the '''Amarr Mining Campus''' if you are concerned that you do not have a usable ship for mining, the '''Amarr mining Campus''' is offering a free [[Venture]].
  
*Time Started
+
Further the AMC provides you with a [[#Loaner Fleet|Loaner Fleet Service]] and slightly reduced costs if you want to buy a [[Mining Barge]].
*Time End (estimate)
 
*Location (Be careful with this during wartime, WTs may have alts infiltrating the university)
 
*Priority Ore
 
*Spreadsheet Link
 
*Reminders of Procedures (''Naming Cans, etc'')
 
*Personal Notes
 
  
To set the MOTD follow these steps:
+
To get the [[Venture]] you can take one out of the Corporation Hanger in the Home Station. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the [[#Using the Hangars|Hanger]] section.
  
*1. Right-Click on the 'Fleet' Tab
+
=== Free T1 Modules ===
*2. In the drop-down, select the 'Settings' option
+
While you are in the '''Amarr Mining Campus''' you can make use of the following Modules to fit you ship to optimize your mining (all available items are within the cooperation hanger in home station):
*3. There should be an MOTD text box. This is where you type out your MOTD.

== Programs ==
+
=== Loaner Fleet ===
 +
The '''Amarr Mining Campus''' offers, same as the EVE University, the ability to borrow mining related ships from our "loaner fleet".
  
==== AMC Buy-Back ====
+
Currently the loaner fleet includes [[Retriever]] and [[Covetor]].
If you are an AMC Miner or Fleet Commander that has run an operation or have simply been solo-mining but don't want to go through the hassle of hauling, refining and then selling the ore yourself then you’re in luck. As an AMC student, you are able to take advantage of the ‘Buy-Back’ program. You can find full instructions [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet here]
 
  
==== Free T1 Modules/Ships ====
+
==== Loan Policies ====
If you're concerned that you don't have the best ship for mining or can't contribute to a mining fleet, worry not, the AMC is offering a free [[Venture]] and the following list of T1 modules to fit your ships:
+
Mining ship loans are made with the hope that they will allow you to earn the funds to purchase a mining vessels on your own. Participation in AMC operations is optional but encouraged.

NOTE: We are no longer able to give away free retrievers due to the increase in cost, but instead we are able to loan them out on a 2-week basis following the same rules as the uni loaner fleet [[Mining Loaner Fleet]] and also to purchase at a slightly reduced cost.
+
==== Policies ====
 +
* Loans are made for two weeks. Extended loans will be granted based on individual decisions.
 +
* Contract will be issued by the ''Cartilige Deninard'' for the specified ship and fitting.
 +
* The ship must be returned with the loan fitting at the end of the loan period.
 +
* In the case of ship loss inform ''Cartilige Deninard'' as soon as possible with the kill mail and an explanation what had happened. In this case borrowers are expected to replace the lost ship and fitting.
 +
* Each AMC member may have only one loaned ship at a time.
 +
* Ships are loaned without rigs. If you return the ship with fitted rigs we can not return the rigs, nor will we offer a repay or replacement.
  
== Contests  ==
+
==== Placing a Loan Request ====
 +
# Send an EVE mail to ''Cartilige Deninard'' include the ship type and fitting you wish to loan. If no fit is requested the ship will come without any as standard.
 +
# A contract will be issued in the AMC home station.
 +
# Accept the contract next time you are online.
 +
# After the loan period please return the ship in the AMC home station with a contract back to ''Cartilige Deninard''.
  
==== T2 Module Lottery ====

[[User:Cartilige_Deninard/AMC/Sandbox1-Original|OLD TEXT DO NOT PUBLISH]]
As of the 1st of August (2012) I am going to be running a competition for the people who fc mining fleets, reward tiers will be as follows:
 
 
 
*1. First place: 50 million
 
*2. Second place: 30 million
 
*3. Third place: 20 million
 
 
 
Rules are as follows:
 
*1. It must be an amc fleet.
 
*2. It must have been submitted to the archive thread (read wiki under buyback for more information).
 
*3. Post in said thread must be sent before 11:59 pm on the 1st of the following month.
 
*4. Must be a shared can.
 
*5. The fleet must have spent more than 20 hours mining (thats total time, e.g. 10 people mine for 2 hours, total time is 20 hours).

*8. In order to protect myself and the participants from anything unforeseen, I reserve the right to disqualify, make new rules without notice, rescind old rules without notice and cancel the contest altogether.
 
 
 
I am toying with a few ideas at the moment, wether it will be a points system or hours based remains in question, but the person who takes control of a sheet and becomes an fc mid op will get some sort of partial recognition.
 
 
 
Remember, you do not have to be a vet fc to win this, you can have a fleet getting 1m/h and you are still in the running.
 
 
 
Please contact Ayar Achasse if you have any questions/concerns.
 
 
 
== Contact Information ==
 
You are encouraged to join the AMC chat channel (name: Amarr Mining Camp, password: same as standard E-Uni channels).

If you would like to contribute to the AMC, please feel free to contact  any of the above mentioned organisers.
 
 
 
== FAQ ==
 
*What is the AMC? - ''If you didn’t read the first section for whatever reason, here’s a quick run-down to what the AMC is: The Amarr Mining Camp is an organized group of Miners who have travelled down to Amarr Space to gain access to the better ores of the game. This allows us to make a higher income from mining than we would achieve if we were up in Aldrat (E-UNI HQ).''
 
*How do I join the AMC? - ''In short; you don't. The Amarr Mining Camp is running within EVE University. We follow all the same rules and guidelines as anyone else in the Uni. As such, you will not need to leave E-UNI to join us. Simply join our Chat Channel (Amarr Mining Camp - use the same password as other E-UNI channels) and ask if there is a fleet going, or start one yourself!''
 
*How do I start/join a fleet? - ''Please refer to the 'Participating in a Mining Op' and 'Running a Mining Op' Wiki page for information on these subjects. They will tell you everything you need to know.''
 
*Who do I talk to if I have a problem? - ''Feel free to ask any questions or direct any concerns to our 'Amarr Mining Camp' chat channel so one of our more experienced members can help you with your issue. However, if the question/concern is one you wish to keep privately or is unsuitable for standard E-UNI members, do not hesitate to contact: Vger Starseed, Cartilige Deninard , Pale Peril, Rose Chanlin or Tyrus Solarin. Each will be more than willing to assist you.''
 
*Do I need a specific ship to help with Mining Operations? - ''No, you don't. No matter what ship you're flying in, you can always jump straight into a fleet and help. You'll be just as useful as anyone else out there. The more,  the merrier.''
 
*Do I need specific skills to run a Fleet? - ''Absolutely not! As Fleet Boss [Commander] all you need to run a fleet is a Spreadsheet (more information here) and people to mine/haul with. To start a fleet, just advertise it in chat and people will join you.''

Mission Statement

The Amarr Mining Campus was founded to provide EVE University students with the opportunity to learn how to mine efficiently and safely. This includes giving advice for solo mining and providing organised fleet operations. All this will be provide in a friendly and supportive environment.

Goals of the Amarr Mining Camp:

  • Teach students how to mine, co-operate and function in fleet mining operation with utmost efficiency.
  • Inform students about ways to maximize the profits and benefits that come with organized mining.
  • Introduce students to the basics of participating and running in a mining fleet and including the necessary paperwork.
  • Support students to organize with their personal mining operations including some basic spreadsheets.

Background and Overview

The Amarr Mining Campus was initiated by Seranti Olerie, Ubermensch Invictus and Vger Starseed in March 2012. However, Seranti Olerie and Ubermensch Invictus have retired their position in the AMC and moved on to other things in Eve.

A number of criteria were set up to choose a suitable location for the AMC, these included:

  • A decent distance from Aldrat (E-UNI HQ).
  • Reasonable distance from one of the major Trade hubs.
  • An abundance of asteroid belts that contain high quality ores (+5 and +10 ores) in a very quiet constellation with a 50% refinery station.
  • Reasonable Distance away from low security systems as well as any ice belts (popular for gankers).

The AMC is now on it's 5th location, with all previous locations now closed, but still remaining classified.

Leadership

The Amarr Mining Campus is currently managed by

  • Vger Starseed (Organizer, Coordinator)
  • Cartilige Deninard (Coordinator, Uni Liaison)
  • Rose Chanlin (Officer)
  • Pale Peril (Officer)
  • Tyrus Solarin (Officer)
  • Urban Oxide (Officer)

A roster of current AMC staff is available in the Endeavour Spreadsheet.

Questions

If you've any questions you can ask in our chat channel Amarr Mining Campus so one of the more experienced Amarr Mining Campus members can help you with your issues.

If you have any questions, concerns ideas or advice regarding the AMC or anything you want to be handled privately do not hesitate to contact the AMC Management directly. Anyone will be disposed to assist you as much as possible.

Joining the Amarr Mining Campus

Requirements

The following is mandatory to join:

  • Holding at least the EVE University title Freshman

Application

  1. Join the AMC recruitment chat channel Amarr Mining Campus (uses the same password as other E-Uni channels)
  2. Wait in the Amarr Mining Campus chat channel. See the MOTD if there are interviews run actually and inform any online Officer that you want to be interviewed. Afterwards please wait until your name is called by one of the Officers and join the interview.

Ships to Bring

You must bring a combat capable ship to the AMC in case of a WT attack. Fly whatever you have the skills to fly effectively, whether that is a tackle frigate or attack battlecruiser. If you do not have an OOC hauler (see guide on creating one) then we recommend you fly a shuttle to the campus location and ask another member with an OOC hauler to help haul your venture or barge to the AMC. If you wish we also have a number of barges, exhumers and ventures available for sale/loan so contact an AMC officer (Preferably Mining Director Cartilige Deninard) about loaning one. We also recommend bringing a PvE ship as we frequently have mission running fleets.

Using the Hangars

Hangar Divisions

Campus Rules and Procedures

General

  • As for all Eve University projects the EVE University Rules take precedence.
  • During wartime the Wartime Standard Operating Procedures apply to all AMC operations.
  • Do not buy or sell within at least 5 jumps from home station expect for NPC buys. This rule does apply to out of campus and out of corp ALTs too.
  • During any campus activity join the AMC Channel in Mumble. At least to be able to listen.
  • Do not mine or stay undocked while AFK.
  • Try to avoid being docked up AFK for long in home system to secure it's location.
  • Help other campus members to learn.
  • Fly what you can afford to lose.

PvP

  • Running PVP ops in AMC is not forbidden but kills and losses must be kept at an absolute minimum.
  • If there is any event that results in a killmail or lossmail, this has to be commented on the killboard.
  • Eve Universitys Rules of Engagement apply to any PVP activity within the AMC.

PvE

  • Mission rewards must not be shared with an AMC fleet unless it is a specific mission fleet.

Local Chat

  • Never use the local chat to talk about any AMC related things.
  • Always avoid using the local chat channel if possible.

Communication

  • AMC Campus communication are "open comms" by default.
  • When first entering the campus mumble, please wait a moment before speaking so as not to interrupt any ongoing communication.
  • When running a fleet move to a AMC fleet channel in mumble to keep the main channel free for normal communication.

Bookmarking

  • Do not share any AMC related bookmarks in the Corpation Bookmarks.
  • To share AMC related bookmarks use the Bookmark Container in the Homestation Hanger.

Alts

The Amarr Mining Campus is currently open to Alts from any IVY League members and alumni. We do not include +5 (NAP) or +10 (Friends) for two main reasons:

  1. Our priority is not to help +5/+10s make or maximize ISK or teach them about mining, they have their own corp resources for that.
  2. We prefer to keep the operation of the AMC as secure as possible while still open and accessible to E-UNI players. Admittedly, it is a delicate and difficult balance to maintain.

Alt Rules while at the AMC

  • Any Alt that participate in a AMC operation needs to be approved by an Amarr Mining Campus Officer in advance.
  • Each Fleet Commander can access a list of approved members and alts when running a fleet.

Mining Operations

Every member of the AMC is encouraged to join any existing AMC mining operation or to plan an AMC mining operation as a Fleet Commander on their own. There is no need for special skills to run or join a mining operation. If you're planning to run a mining operation you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine and haul. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at the same time.

Most of the time AMC Shared Can operations are announced on our Mailing List so everybody can see if it's possible to join the operation, often there are spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand.
Frequently there are BYOCs running that you can join, ask in our chat channel to see if there is one running at the moment.

To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining capable ship fitted with mining lasers. Further you are able to use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate fitted to your fleet role. If you require a Venture or Mining Barge you can ask for a 2-week loan following the same rules as the Eve University Mining Loaner Fleet or purchase one at a reduced cost.

Mining Booster Fleets (BYOC)

A BYOC mining operation boosts your mining yield and mining laser range dependent on the boosters fitted and skills.

All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots and they don't receive anything from the AMC. It is courteous to thank the boosting pilot by tipping a part of the increased yield.

Shared Can

Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander plans to have boosters and haulers available at the planed operation time. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they can afford the time. After the mining operation the ore is sold with the AMC Buy-Back Service and split up between the members equally according to their attended time.

Running an AMC Shared Can Mining Operation

While running Amarr Mining Campus Shared Can Mining Operations please use the following rules and guidelines to run the operation smoothly.

In this section HH:MM should be replaced with the current eve server time.

In Shared Can operations, the fleet commanders need to keep track of each person’s contribution. In the AMC, this is measured by the time each member spent mining, hauling or boosting.

Any announcements whilst participating the mining operation must be written to the fleet chat.
If you fail to announce your ON / OFF times you will not be properly paid due to be no record of you times.

Follow the simple steps below to ensure you get the correct payout for the fleet:

Miners

While you are a member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding the ore and asteroid belts you're mining.

Please check before putting a mining laser on a new asteroid whilst mining to ensure that nobody is already mining from this asteroid (easiest way is ALT-Click - View).

Announcing start/end times

LASERS ON HH:MM this is to be used when you start mining.

LASERS OFF HH:MM this is to be used when you stop mining, or leave your computer for more than your Laser’s cycle time.

When changing belts or re-targeting asteroids, you need not give a lasers off. Lasers off is only required for when you stop mining and the operation has not been ended.

Jet-Can Naming

For Shared Can operations, you will be mining into jetcans, which the Haulers will collect to haul back to station. Try to share a can with somebody when possible, but if there are none in reach then just create your own.

We have a naming scheme for jetcans, as follows:

FLEET HH:MM this can is in use, and was jettisoned at the given time

FULL HH:MM this can is full to 27,500m3 or as near as possible. It will be picked up by a hauler. Do not change the time, only change the caption. The time is required to know when the can might expire.

PULL HH:MM this can is not yet full, but is no longer being used, such as when you run out of asteroids to mine but haven't yet filled the can. It will be picked up by a hauler. Do not change the time, only change the caption. The time is required to know when the can might expire.

This may be subject to change following this poll. Vote if you wish to see it change or remain the same.

Haulers

While being member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding location the or has to be hauled to.

Announcing start/end times

HAULING ON HH:MM this is to be used when you start hauling.

HAULING OFF HH:MM this is to be used when you stop hauling, or leave your computer for more then 2 minutes.

While you are waiting for new cans to be full you do not need to announce HAULING OFF.

Contracting the ore

At the end of the operation, or when you stop hauling, you need to contract all the ore you've hauled at the station to the fleet commander.

Boosters

While you are a member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding the system you're providing the boost in.

Announcing start/end times

BOOST ON HH:MM this is to be used when you start boosting.

BOOST OFF HH:MM this is to be used when you stop boosting, or leave your computer for more than your booster cycle time.

Please only announce BOOST OFF when you're leaving the operation. While traveling between belts or systems the same rule as to all others apply.

If boosting on grid. Before moving to a new belt inform the fleet of you intention to move and at half you maximum velocity ask the fleet "cycle lasers". On entering warp announce to the fleet "in warp". Once your ship has landed on grid with the fleet activate your boosters and say "boosts back on" in mumble. This allows fleet members to cycle their lasers and avoid them loosing the yield from a failed cycle.

Scouts

Running AMC mining operations while EVE University is at war we recommended you send out scouts to the nearby systems to watch for war targets. If any war targets come near the mining operation the operation should dock up to be safe.

Commanders

When you're planning to run a mining operation please prepare the necessary paperwork (Spreadsheet) and the MOTD before starting the fleet.

Spreadsheet

As an AMC FC, it is required for you to keep track of your Fleet; recording each member's participation, share weights, amount of ore mined, prices of ore, etcetera. To save all the required information the AMC provides a Spreadsheet - namely the 'Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet'. Please make sure you're sharing the spreadsheet with "anyone with the link" as you will write this link to the MOTD.

It's not as hard as it sounds - it's actually pretty simple, so please do not be afraid of becoming a Fleet Commander because of the Spreadsheet business. If you ever get stuck, just ask around and there's bound to be someone who can give you a hand.

MOTD (Message of the Day)

When your Fleet is running, you have to create an MOTD (Message of the Day). You should place all required important information on the MOTD for the whole Fleet (especially new joiners) to see.

To set the MOTD follow these steps:

  1. Right-Click on the 'Fleet' Tab
  2. In the drop-down, select the 'Settings' option
  3. There should be an MOTD text box. This is where you type out your MOTD.

Services

AMC Buy-Back

While you are a member of the Amarr Mining Campus you can use the AMC Buy-Back service to sell your ore or minerals directly within the AMC Home System and some of the surrounding systems. You will be paid out as the Buy-Back is accepted and afterwards refining, hauling and selling will be taken over by an AMC team.

The price that is paid trough the Buy-Back is slightly below the Jita prices to make sure that all costs for hauling and selling are covered. Any difference between the payout and the actual sale value is used to run the AMC. For example the Free T1 Modules/Ships and T2 Module Lottery is paid out of this profit.

With this point in mind it is recommended to use this service to support the AMC for further members. This will also save you from hauling ore or minerals to market yourself. That you use this AMC Service please refer to the corresponding Wiki Page. You can however use this if you so wish.

Free T1 Mining Ship

When you join the Amarr Mining Campus if you are concerned that you do not have a usable ship for mining, the Amarr mining Campus is offering a free Venture.

Further the AMC provides you with a Loaner Fleet Service and slightly reduced costs if you want to buy a Mining Barge.

To get the Venture you can take one out of the Corporation Hanger in the Home Station. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the Hanger section.

Free T1 Modules

While you are in the Amarr Mining Campus you can make use of the following Modules to fit you ship to optimize your mining (all available items are within the cooperation hanger in home station):

Loaner Fleet

The Amarr Mining Campus offers, same as the EVE University, the ability to borrow mining related ships from our "loaner fleet".

Currently the loaner fleet includes Retriever and Covetor.

Loan Policies

Mining ship loans are made with the hope that they will allow you to earn the funds to purchase a mining vessels on your own. Participation in AMC operations is optional but encouraged.

Requirements

  1. You must be member of Amarr Mining Campus
  2. You must have moved to the Amarr Mining Campus Home System

Policies

  • Loans are made for two weeks. Extended loans will be granted based on individual decisions.
  • Contract will be issued by the Cartilige Deninard for the specified ship and fitting.
  • The ship must be returned with the loan fitting at the end of the loan period.
  • In the case of ship loss inform Cartilige Deninard as soon as possible with the kill mail and an explanation what had happened. In this case borrowers are expected to replace the lost ship and fitting.
  • Each AMC member may have only one loaned ship at a time.
  • Ships are loaned without rigs. If you return the ship with fitted rigs we can not return the rigs, nor will we offer a repay or replacement.

Placing a Loan Request

  1. Send an EVE mail to Cartilige Deninard include the ship type and fitting you wish to loan. If no fit is requested the ship will come without any as standard.
  2. A contract will be issued in the AMC home station.
  3. Accept the contract next time you are online.
  4. After the loan period please return the ship in the AMC home station with a contract back to Cartilige Deninard.

T2 Module Lottery

A lottery is conducted for every shared can mining fleet in which all participants have a random (equal) chance of winning a T2 module from the following list:

The purpose of this lottery is to give newer players a chance at acquiring T2 items while they gradually skill up and make enough ISK to get into bigger and better mining ships.

There is no need to request for the lottery for a mining fleet that was run within the AMC. Every AMC mining fleet that uses the Buy-Back Service is automatically considered. The winner will not be announced publicly. AMC Officers are not allowed to participate in this lottery. OLD TEXT DO NOT PUBLISH
