==What to Train and Fly== | |||
===Ships to bring when starting out=== | |||
You may bring any ship that you don't mind losing, providing that it is allowed under WSOP. Here are some useful categories of ships you may want to consider bringing: | |||
* | *Fast tackler - Great for making bookmarks and for PvP, especially for newbros | ||
** | *Ewar boats - Moar ewar from all racial categories is a great asset for the campus | ||
* | *Battlecruiser/Battleship - useful for ratting, PVE sites, and yes, PvP | ||
*Scanning ship - Covops frigates and their T1 equivalents | |||
On your first trip to the campus, it is recommended that you bring a fast, cheap frigate, both for ease of navigation through dangerous space, and to allow you to quickly make bookmarks as you travel. It is fairly easy to bring in additional ships later, please refer to the NSC forum for our Jump Freighter program. Expect to lose lots of ships. | |||
At this time it is not recommended that you bring mining ships or industrials, with the exception of cloaky blockade runners. As the campus becomes more established, mining nullsec ores may become a more reasonable proposition, but at the current time we still have too much hostile activity in our home system for mining to be practical. | |||
Be aware that the [[Ship Replacement Program]] does still apply, with all the normal rules and regulations, '''BUT''' hull replacement functions out of Aldrat, and <ins>replacement hulls will not be distributed on-site</ins>. [[Ship Replacement Program#Partial Reimbursements|Partial Reimbursements]] function as normal. | |||
===Recommended skill list=== | |||
The NSC does not mandate any particular set of skills for flying with us. | The NSC does not mandate any particular set of skills for flying with us. | ||

=== | ===Fleet-Up=== | ||
[http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Fleet-Up Fleet-Up] is a website that allows us to coordinate doctrines and allow people to look for our current fits that we use campus wide. The NSC has its own Fleet-Up independent from the E-Uni one. The E-Uni and NSC Fleet-Ups will have useful ships to train for and you can create [http://evemon.battleclinic.com/ EveMon] skill plans automatically. Follow the standard method for getting into the E-Uni Fleet-up, then follow this [http://fleet-up.com/Group/Join/DC2EA6589684B625C643123EEEE33DA8 Link] to access the NSC version. | |||
Once there, you can easily see what ships to train for in the future, which ones you can already fly, and set skill plans to fly something we need. | |||
== | ====Fleet-up Doctrines==== | ||
Once on the main page, go to Doctrines -> Nullsec Campus Doctrines to get a list of all active doctrines for the NSC. You should aim to be able to fly at least one ship from each of the main doctrines. | |||
Another good place to look if you are starting out is the "Instant Reshipping" doctrine. This is a list of all ships that are kept on contract at PC9, so learning to fly these ships will allow you to have easy access to new ships at a moments notice. The T1 frigates there are almost always useful for any operation. | |||
In addition to those fits, training a '''Racial Frigate''' skill to V is very helpful in the NSC, because it opens up [[Frigate#Interceptors|Interceptors]] and [[Frigate#Covert_Ops|Covert Ops]]. These ships aren't on the Fleet-Up page, but are very helpful for scouting and/or scanning down targets. Racial frigates at V will also help out any of your T1 frigates you use in other fleet ops! | |||
[http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=214&t=82232 This guide], while having some specific information for the LSC, is still a great primer on the basics of fitting and the different roles in fleets. | |||
==Surviving in the NSC== | |||
*Read [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=85417&start=0 Newpeep’s Guide to NSC Version 3.2] | |||
=== | ===The NSC Standing Fleet=== | ||
Always join the standing fleet when near the NSC campus, or if you are travelling to the NSC campus. Here is some basic information about the standing fleet, including how to successfully create a standing fleet if one is not up. | |||
====Fleet Boss==== | |||
* '''Accepting Fleet Boss''' | |||
If boss is passed to you, either as a result of you volunteering or being "ninja bossed", the Fleet Advert window will pop up on your screen. Verify the Advert settings are correct as specified above and select the the "Submit" button. This will update the Fleet finder with the fact that you are the new boss. Save the fleet setup from the Fleet windows setting menu for future use, if you have not done this before. | |||
* '''Passing Fleet Boss to Another''' | |||
If you are ready to leave fleet and are the current boss, you must pass the boss position to another in fleet first. Ask for volunteers in the Fleet Chat and/or Mumble. Make every reasonable effort to pass boss to someone who is active. Once you have your volunteer, pass fleet boss to them by right clicking their name in chat or the fleet window, followed by a left click on "Make Boss". | |||
* '''Being the Fleet Boss''' | |||
The main job of the fleet boss is to move people in and out of Fleet/Wing command positions when asked to do so. Also, they are responsible for adding/removing new Wings and Squads as needed. | |||
The fleet boss is not the FC, nor in charge of anyone by default. | |||
== | ====Setting up the NSC Fleet==== | ||
If the NSC standing fleet is not active, double check in mumble or the NSC.E-UNI chat channel that the fleet is down. If there is no fleet, follow these instructions to create one. | |||
#Open the Fleet window via your NeoCom (NeoCom->Social->Fleet) | |||
#Right click on the four lines on the fleet tab and select "Form Fleet" | |||
##If you already have a fleet set up saved, you can load it by following the next steps, otherwise continue on with Step 3. | |||
###Open the Fleet window and click on the four lines to open the Fleet menu. | |||
###Select Fleet setups, then select your saved name. | |||
###Make sure the message of the day is up to date. | |||
###Continue to Step 9 | |||
#Once the fleet is created, right click on the four lines again and select "Set Free-Move" | |||
#Set up the PvP Wing | |||
##Right click on "Wing 1" and select "Create New Squad". Do this twice so there are 3 squads in "Wing 1". You can add more, but 3 is the default/minimum. | |||
##Right click on "Wing 1" and change its name to "PvP Wing". | |||
#Set up the PvE Wing | |||
##Right click on "Fleet" and select "Create New Wing" | |||
##Right click on the new wing and select "Create New Squad". Do this three times so you have 3 squads in the new wing. Again, 3 is the default/minimum. More can be added if needed. | |||
##Right click on the new wing and change its name to "PvE Wing". | |||
#Set the Message of the Day for the fleet (MOTD). | |||
##Click the "Channel Settings" icon in the fleet chat window and Select the "Open Channel Settings Window" option. | |||
##In the text box, copy/paste the following then select OK <br/> <blockquote>Welcome to the NSC Standing Fleet.<br/> When you are in the fleet, make sure you also are in Mumble. <br/> Drop fleet when you go AFK <br/> Be advised that bubbles are up in PC9. Use tacticals or bounce of celestials when travelling in Null Sec!!<blockquote> | |||
#Create the NSC Fleet Advert | |||
##Select the "Fleet Finder" tab in the fleet window | |||
##Select the "My Advert" tab | |||
##Click the "Create Advert" button at the bottom of the window | |||
##Set the "Fleet Name" to "NSC Standing Fleet" | |||
##Check the "My Corporation" and "My Alliance" check boxes. Also, select "Hide Details in Advert" box at the bottom on the window. Leave everything else as default. | |||
##Select the "Submit" button. | |||
#Since the rubicon expansion, you can store your fleet setup. | |||
##In the fleet menu, click the four lines to open the menu. | |||
##Click "Store Fleet Setup" option | |||
##Enter the name "NSC Fleet" and check the "Include Current Message of the Day Setting" and "Include Current Free-move Setting". | |||
#Marvel at the greatness of the Fleet you have created and welcome people as they join in. | |||
#Save the fleet setup from the Fleet windows setting menu for future use. | |||

==Our Neighborhood== | |||
Knowing your surroundings is essential for survival in nullsec, and the NSC is no exception. | |||
===Northeast Regional Syndicate=== | |||
We live in [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate/Y4Y7-Q#sec the PC9 Pocket in Syndicate] in PC9-AY. The primary entrances are via [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate/MHC-R3#sec Harroule in MHC-R3] and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Verge_Vendor/Reblier#sec Reblier in 6-CZ49]. | |||
Because 6-CZ49 is closer to PC9-AY, most Unistas arrive via this route. The Uni usually camps the Reblier gate in 6-CZ49, so this is probably the safest point of entry for new bros at the moment. | |||
Both gates can be heavily gatecamped, so you should always ask in comms if you need eyes. | |||
==Nullsec Campus Background and Overview== | |||
On September 26th, 2012 at 23:00, a handful of brave, perhaps foolhardy Unistas, perceiving that the Uni lacked adequate opportunities to experience nullsec life, followed a gibbering madman named [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=20219 Tinman Spectacular] into the hinterlands of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate#sov Syndicate], pitched their tents and settled in for the long haul. | |||
For a long while, the Campus was run mostly by a tight-knit handful of Unistas, and control eventually passed to stoic campus leader, Media Assassin. In the summer of 2013, Media Assassin left the University, citing stale PvP opportunities in Syndicate. Timdogg Ambramotte was selected as the successor. In October 2013 Timdogg moved on to another corp, with Abetorix Lincoln taking over as the campus manager. In January 2014 Abe turned over the Campus Manager job to [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=14011 Fargofargone]. | |||
In November 2014, taking advantage of Ineluctable vacating the PC9 pocket in favour of the larger VV- pocket, the NSC relocated from EZA to PC9. Various local facilities were installed, including an industry office in T22 and control of POCOs for ease of PI. In December, shortly after the move, Fargo was replaced by [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=43452 Grygr Anzomi] as the NSC Manager. | |||
The NSC is a grassroots, student run initiative, which welcomes all Ivy League members who meet our basic requirements to join. We operate in an environment of intense PvP activity, and anyone who wants to join us should be ready and willing to engage in combat with other players on a regular basis. | |||
PvE activities, such as ratting, exploration, manufacturing, and planetary interaction are available, and quite lucrative when compared to high and low sec space. Mining and Ice mining is possible in the pocket, but you must exercise extreme caution while doing so. | |||
You may have been told that nullsec is too difficult or dangerous for new players. The members of Nullsec Campus do not believe this, and welcome very new players in their ranks. If you are very new, it is recommended that you attend or listen to any classes related to PvP as soon as possible, and focus your skill training on core and PvP specific skills. No activities of the Nullsec Campus will be restricted by player age or experience. Just prepare yourself to get exploded frequently, and don't beat yourself up about it when it happens. | |||
==Campus Services== | |||
We offer a number of services to campus members. All services are funded by donations and PVP loot. All of these are explained in further detail [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Nullsec_Campus_Services here] | |||
* '''Jump Freighter Transport''' | |||
** Free shipments between PC9-AY and Jita for campus members, up to 350,000 m^3. | |||
** Follow instructions [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=68940 here]. | |||
* '''Module Rebuy''' | |||
** Buy expensive faction, deadspace, or officer loot for discounted prices from item exchange contracts. | |||
** Follow instructions [[Nullsec_Campus_Services#NSC_Rebuy_Program|here]]. | |||
* '''Instant Reshipping''' | |||
** Buy recommended fittings directly from corporate contracts; they will be instantly delivered to your hangar. | |||
** Prices set to Jita prices plus 10% for overhead and transportation. | |||
** See corporation fittings in-game; fittings starting with "NSC" are campus fittings. | |||
** Further information can be found [[Nullsec_Campus_Services#NSC_Instant_Reshipping|here]]. | |||
* '''Space Communism Hangars''' | |||
** Use hangars to refit your ship in emergencies or combat situations, free of charge. | |||
** If you don't yet have permission to use the access-controlled hangars, ask a Hangar Officer or other Unista. | |||
** Use the hangars sparingly; they are not meant to subsidize your own purchases. | |||
** In general, you should be paying for your own ships and modules and bringing them down here. Use our jump freighter service and buy from Jita. Remember the SRP for when you lose your ship. '''You are responsible for keeping a healthy supply of ships and modules you enjoy ready to fly at your own expense.''' | |||
** Abuse of the hangars may result in disciplinary action. | |||
* '''NSC Implant Replacement Program''' | |||
**Replacement of up to two +3 Learning Implants per day | |||
**Loss must be within 5 jumps of PC9-AY within Syndicate, or on an official NSC roam with an AAR where a loss occurred ANYWHERE in 0.0 space. Sorry, lose a pod in low-sec, and you're out of luck. | |||
**Must have less than 6 months time in Uni and never held, or currently hold, the Graduate title. | |||
**Less than 15M SP excluding Industry and Mining skills (e-honor on that). | |||
**To claim your prize, PM/E-mail/Covo/Fleet chat your km to Zeeba Eatah. | |||
**(Original post [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=77304 here]) | |||
* '''Fleet Up''' | |||
**Online fleet fitting tool showing campus pilot abilities for FC's and out of game ship fits. | |||
**Follow the [http://fleet-up.com/Group/Join/DC2EA6589684B625C643123EEEE33DA8 Link] to become a member. Please set your character as "Public to Group(s)" so that we can see what you can fly. | |||

So come down, check it out. I will say that 0.0 is not for everyone. In fact, I’d say the majority of you reading this who try it won’t like it. But if you are willing to try it as a day-one newb or a 20M SP bear you’ll at least be able to say “been there, done that.” And when you're done here, you can move on to other parts of the Uni or even another corp entirely, and have an incredible skill-set to bring to the table based solely around navigating, surviving, and thriving in some of the harshest space New Eden has to offer.
