This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently.
For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

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.

Getting Started in EVE University

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.

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

Chat channels and their uses

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.

The "Corp" channel is used for general chat
The "Alliance" channel is used for highlighting upcoming classes / fleets / events
The "Intel (EVE Uni)" channel is our channel for reporting intel on war targets.

Programs and services

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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.

Training on Tap and other learning videos

Understanding Fleets

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 gankers come around to cause havoc.
Obeying EVE University's 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.

Community Life

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.

Main Community (Uni Headquarters)

The Main Community in Korsiki is our main staging area for the Uni. "Horizon" being our main staging structure for most Uni Events.

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.

Wormhole Community (WHC)

The Wormhole Community focuses on living in wormhole space, and dedicated to educating students about 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.

The Student title and some basic skills and ships are required to join the Wormhole Community.

Incursion Community

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.

While some roles in Incursions can be performed by players of all skill levels, please see their specific requirements listings.

Feeling a bit lost?

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

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.

Helping EVE University

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.

-Students are expected to follow the advice and direction of EVE University staff.  And there is also the expectation that students will take responsibility for their own education in reviewing all the material presented to them, such as this wiki page and the wiki pages that the links direct one to.  There is a lot of information to get to know.  There is nothing wrong in asking in an appropriate channel for help or clarification.  Fellow students providing any answers are expected to be providing accurate information and not hearsay or misinformation.  Yes, we expect students to do some homework in reviewing the information.  EVE University and it's staff cannot be held responsible for actions a student takes against advice or other presented information.

-= Frequently Asked Questions =
-{{FAQ Simple
-|Question= War? War? What does that mean to me?
-|Answer=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: Activities such as mining, missioning, exploring, ratting, and hauling can be  risky.  Be careful. More specifically, see the [[Tips For War]].
-* '''When can I undock?''' Anytime there is not a lockdown you may undock. If you want to be safe, it's recommended to check there are no wartargets in local, log into Mumble, and form in a fleet (even if just yourself) before you undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). Monitor LiveIntel.ILN (check bulletins), heed and pay attention to Travel Advisories and ask in appropriate channels (Mess.ILN and in Mumble Combat Lounge) if it's safe for you to travel. 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 Travel Advisory?''' See [[Travel Advisories]] for more information.}}
-{{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, or if you prefer a quieter dedicated channel we have "Q&A.E-UNI" 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 Faction Warfare?
-|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.
