| | + | '''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). |
| | | | |
| − | Toward the end of July 2012, the EVE University management decided to launch project Solitude. The initial announcement by then-CEO Kelduum Revaan outlined the project as the establishment of a university presence and creation of a trade hub. He also deemed Solitude a viable option as a future home for the Uni, an outlook that has since been dropped. Project Solitude currently aims to provide an isolated environment for EVE University students, without easy access to major trade hubs, where they require motivation and self-sufficiency to survive. The area provides nearby low-sec and null-sec opportunities, and a quick route to the [[Nullsec Campus]]. The focus of the project is on exploration, missioning, and industrial endeavours.
| + | 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. |

| − | == 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 standard EVE University rules and policies.

| |
| − | 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.

| + | === 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. |
| − | * [[Solitude Coordinated Scanning Endeavour]] | + | *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. |
| − | ::The Solitude Coordinated Scanning Endeavor is a key resource to life in Solitude. The high-sec to high-sec wormholes located by this program allow for safe transport of goods and services into and out of Solitude. Additionally, by scanning and logging all of our signatures, we can quickly find and run rare sites as a group. Please see the wiki link for more information. For a lesson or questions on how the sheet functions please ask in the Solitude.E-Uni chat channel.
| + | *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. |

It provides a means for impromptu organization of the various activities regularly undertaken by Solitude residents, a way to share bonuses, and a quick reaction force. Whilst not a requirement, as in other campuses, it is recommended that Solibros join the Solitude Standing Fleet to connect players with similar play styles, and to provide a secure channel with which to share valuable intel. If you cannot find the fleet, feel free to create one. This action infers no FC responsibilities, you are merely the boss, responsible for invites and management of the fleet.

| − | == How to get to Solitude ==
| |
| − | One question to ask yourself before heading out to Solitude is, do you see yourself wanting to come back to contiguous Hi-Sec regularly? If so, it is highly recommended that you first obtain a [[Jump Clone|Jump Clone]] and move it to [[Slays]] (or wherever you wish to return) before heading out to Solitude. Failure to do this may cause you to miss out on Corporate and Alliance events hosted at the University HQ since the route back can be time consuming and perilous.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Taking the 'Pod Express' ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | *As long as you don’t have any implants in your clone traveling to Solitude by “Pod Express” may be the simplest route. [[Clone#Locations|Change your medical clone location]] to [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Vecodie_II_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Testing_Facilities Station - Vecodie II - Federal Intelligence Office Testing Facilities] if you still have your annual remote relocation available, and then self-destruct your pod. It is highly recommended that you first set up a jump clone in Empire so that you can jump in and out of Solitude at your leisure. Once you arrive in Solitude you can use a station in the neighboring system [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Yvaeroure_XI_-_Moon_7_-_Poteque_Pharmaceuticals_Biotech_Production Yvaeroure XI - Moon 7 - Poteque Pharmaceuticals Biotech Production] for any pod bay services.
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{important note box|As of the [[Phoebe]] expansion (November 2014), there are restrictions on how often you can [[Clone#Locations|remotely install a medical clone]]. Make sure you have understood them when considering this option for getting to Solitude.}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== 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 Gonditsa. When planning to take this route, it might be a good idea to scout ahead and check if the area is safe. Once past Gonditsa, this tends to be the safer although longer route.
| |
| − | *A somewhat safer but [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Zinkon:Yvelet slightly longer route] through southern Aridia bypasses Gonditsa entirely, going instead through Vehan and Hier before meeting up with the northern Aridia route in Shirshocin. Be aware there are often gate camps at Sadana, Onanam, and Udianoor once you come through the Zinkon pipeline. This route does, however, provides easier access to the Amarr trade hub.
| |
| − | *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, since the Stacmon gate in Ostingele is often camped, you may go via Dastryns) and enters Syndicate at MHC-R3. Please note that this entry system is often camped. 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. This route is often camped too, but at least the dangerous entry point from high-sec to low-sec in Reblier is usually camped by friendlies. The Null-Sec Campus (NSC) is also just one jump away from one of the systems on this route, so you can expect to see more E-Uni members on this route.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Please visit the Solitude.E-Uni and the NSC.E-Uni channel before travelling through Syndicate. The above mentioned pipes are frequently being travelled by members already based in Solitude and the Null-Sec camp. Some viable intel might be available. | |
| − | | |
| − | ===== Public Route Bookmarks =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are some public bookmarks in the Solitude section of the Corporation bookmarks folder in ''People & Places''. They may help you to get to Solitude through Null-Sec more safely. But don't forget that they are not a guaranteed method to avoid warp bubbles and other traps! Since they are public, you must treat them as being compromised and a ganker may have a copy of them. Nevertheless, they should be safer than direct warping.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Currently, the safer route through Null-Sec from Chesiette (0.6) through the Reblier entry point has been bookmarked. Each gate on the route to Solitude has a bookmark above and below the gate. Fit a quick ship like a frigate with a Micro Warp Drive (MWD), maybe even a Prototype Cloaking Device. A shuttle will work too, if you are insecure and want to lose less ISK in case you get shot. Follow those instructions and you should be pretty safe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Fly to Masalle and dock up there. This is the last system in high-sec with stations. After docking, set your home station there and make sure that you use the E-Uni Overview Settings. Then leave your ship and fly with your pod to another station. This will grant you a Velator.
| |
| − | # With the Velator, fly down the pipe to Chesiette. Then jump to Reblier, which is the gateway system to the less secure regions. After jumping to Reblier, ''do not decloak''. You have 60 seconds to have a look around and to decide whether you like what you are seeing or not. If you see ships on the overview which are not moving in a distance between 10 and 30 km around the gate, they may be campers. If they are not blue or green on your local list, they are definitely not friendlies and may potentially shoot you. In that case, dock up in Reblier and wait a bit, before checking again.
| |
| − | # If the situation at the gate looks okay to you, then travel back to Masalle, jump into your frigate and travel back to Chesiette.
| |
| − | # Open your ''People & Places'' Window, go to the Places tab, and scroll down to the ''Solitude'' section of the corporation bookmarks. There you should find a list of bookmarks which follow the template '''|> <SYSTEM>: <GATE> [ABOVE|BELOW] @<DISTANCE> <|'''. For example: '''|> Reblier: Chesiette ABOVE @150 <|'''. Size and move the window to a place on your desktop where you can keep it open and access those bookmarks quickly.
| |
| − | # Jump to Reblier, ''do not decloak''. Assess the situation. You should now see a bookmark in the list which is green, something like ''|> Reblier: 6-CZ49 BELOW @150 <|'' (the Distance number may vary). Warp to this position. You will jump to a location either above or below the gate to the next system, ''6-CZ49''.
| |
| − | # Fly '''AWAY'' from the gate.
| |
| − | # Have a look around, maybe on your dscan, if you see any campers near the gate. Keep an eye on the overview and check if a ship is getting closer to you. If yes, dock up and try again later. If everything looks okay, jump to 6-CZ49. Now you will enter Null-Sec.
| |
| − | # Again, don't decloak. Assess the situation.
| |
| − | # Look at your bookmarks. You should find at least four green ones - two for the gate through which you came in (those are the one with the ''Reblier'' gate in their name), and one above and below the gate where you want to go. Decide if you want to take the ABOVE or BELOW route, then jump to the according bookmark of the '''Reblier''' gate. This will be a very short jump.
| |
| − | # Now jump to the gate which leads to the next system, '''PVH8-0'''. If you are currently ABOVE the Reblier gate, use the ABOVE bookmark of the PVH8-0 gate, too. If you are BELOW, choose the BELOW bookmark. This will help you to avoid any warp bubbles on the direct route between those two gates.
| |
| − | # Repeat the last three steps through all systems on your way to ''Boystin''. The complete route will be ''Reblier'' -> ''6-CZ49'' -> ''PVH8-0'' -> ''JH-M2W'' -> ''M2-CF1'' (or PC9-AY, if you wish to visit NSC) -> ''97X-CH'' -> ''Y9G-KS'' -> ''Pertnineere'' -> ''Boystin''.
| |
| − | # Congratulations, you made it!

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.

| − | ==== Use the uni sponsored jump ship service ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thanks to the NullSec Campus a free jump ship service is provided between [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6 - Federal Intelligence Office Assembly Plant] and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/PC9-AY_III_-_Intaki_Commerce_Trading_Post PC9-AY III - Intaki Commerce Trading Post] from there it is possible to utilize a second jump ship service to send items between [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/PC9-AY_III_-_Intaki_Commerce_Trading_Post PC9-AY III - Intaki Commerce Trading Post] and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Jita_IV_-_Moon_4_-_Caldari_Navy_Assembly_Plant Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant].
| |
| − | | |
| − | More information about how to use the service can be found on the forums under the NSC [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=94053#p802266 Jump Freighter program].
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Important notes'''
| |
| − | * The service is FREE; funded by the corporation taxes on PvE; missioning; using POCOs etc. But feel free to put a tip on; around 1 million isk per 10,000 m<sup>3</sup> is a perfect amount to cover fuel costs.
| |
| − | * No collateral can be put on these contracts. If the service is destroyed and your items lost they will not be replaced by the Uni.
| |
| − | * The service runs once a week to Boystin and every couple of days between PC9 and Jita so it can take up to a week to move items from Jita to Boystin or ''vice versa''.
| |
| − | * It is possible to create remote contracts so don't fly (or Jump Clone) to PC9 to create the second contract; just do it from Solitude once the items arrive in PC9.
| |
| − | * Obviously the service can only move items. You'll still need to either fly or clone jump yourself to Solitude. Sorry, but no bus services exist in EVE yet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== 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. And the uni jump service can take some time and is at the user's risk. 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 {{gaps|100|000|000}} ISK to move up to {{gaps|320|000}} {{m3}} from Slays to Boystin.
| |
| − | *Several E-UNI members routinely move materials into Solitude and may be willing to accept courier contracts. Pricing is typically negotiable. Ask in Soli chat or offers and requests if you are looking to move large volumes of items in or out of the area.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == What to bring and NOT bring ==
| |
| − | Due to having limited access to the rest of Empire space, you should bring as much of whatever you might need as possible. Certain items cost less in Solitude, while others cost far more. Check out the Alpha Hangar if you have trouble getting equipment through the local market.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === What to bring ===
| |
| − | The [https://fleet-up.com/Doctrine/Item/30549 Project Solitude Fleet Up Doctrine] provides a list of fits suitable for most of the common activities available in Solitude. Visit the Wiki[[Fleet-Up]] page for instructions on how to join.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Modules ====
| |
| − | Prepare to have spare modules, and try to bring equipment over in bulk whenever possible in order to limit risk. Bring '''only''' the ones you need. Most modules you can steal off rats.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Modules above Tech I can cost double their in-Empire price.''' Some modules are almost nonexistent on the Solitude marketplace. If you are curious about whether or not a specific item is stocked in Solitude and you do not have access to the area simply head over to [http://eve-central.com/ EVE-Central], click on the advanced tab, select Solitude from the drop-down list of Regions and enter the item that you're looking for. If EVE-Central doesn't have the information you need you can always ask for a price check in the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 Solitude.E-Uni] Chat channel.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Scanning ====
| |
| − | We recommend spares of:
| |
| − | * Cloaking devices (covert ops version if you can fly a Covert Ops frigate, T3 or Recon cruiser) | |
| − | * Core probe launchers (Sisters Core Probe Launchers are a good idea as the price for these can be exorbitant in Solitude)
| |
| − | * Core probes (Sisters Core Probes are recommended)
| |
| − | * Covert ops frigates (If you can fly one of these the world is your oyster)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Skillbooks ====
| |
| − | There is a [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Elore_VI_-_Moon_4_-_Federal_Navy_Academy_School Federation Navy School] two jumps into Low-Sec in the system of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Elore Elore].
| |
| − | Note that not all skillbooks will be seeded here and that both this station and the route to it are often camped. It is recommended to do a little scouting or go as a group if you are unfamiliar with Low Security space. Also remember you can now inject skills that you cannot train directly. So if you are about to get skill books for yourself do not undock with them! Just inject them right away and they are forever yours.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== General supplies ====
| |
| − | Ammunition and scripts are generally not more expensive in Solitude than elsewhere in Empire. Nanopaste and cap boosters will usually need to be obtained outside of Solitude if large quantities are needed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Tech I Industrial ====
| |
| − | It's a good idea to use a T1 Industrial when moving a medium amount of cargo ({{gaps|5|000}}–{{gaps|30|000}} {{m3}}) as they carry enough for several packaged frigates or a couple cruisers and you can make multiple trips through a High-Sec to High-Sec Wormhole in a T1 Industrial without compromising the stability of the Wormhole.
| |
| − | | |
| − | An ''Imicus'' is an ideal alternative if you don't have that much to cart over as it has a base 400 {{m3}} cargo that can be expanded up to {{gaps|1|261}} {{m3}} with Cargohold Expander modules and Cargohold Optimization Rigs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === What NOT to bring ===
| |
| − | ==== Certain ships ====
| |
| − | Many T1 Sub-Capital ships are less expensive to obtain in Solitude due to the proximity to Null Security space and the risk involved in transporting ships back out to the rest of Empire.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the same reason larger and more expensive ships (i.e. Freighters and Pirate Cruisers/Battleships) can be difficult to take back out of Solitude. Consideration should be given when bringing them into the area. Most High-Sec to High-Sec Wormholes can only handle a Freighter passing through twice before they are destabilized.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you feel you must bring something shiny or large, make sure that it is something that you will use regularly as it may be very difficult and time-consuming to relocate such items back to the contiguous Empire.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Ore / salvage / basic materials ====
| |
| − | Consult ''Sen Starfire'' or another resident industrialist for this matter.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Most of the ores are in fact cheaper here (if they are available).
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to trade stuff in bulk, e.g. bring bulk modules from the Empire, post in forum about your freighter (so we can also use your return trip).
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 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 [[Mission_Fleet_(Spider)#Spider_Fleet_.2F_Standings_Fleet)|Spider]] and/or [[Mission_Fleet_(Spider)#Locust_Fleet|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.

| |
| − | === Gas sites ===
| |
| − | The low-sec constellation of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude/Elerelle#sec Elerelle], located in Solitude, is one of only two places in New Eden where Gas sites produce unusually large amounts of [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Celadon_Cytoserocin Celadon Cytoserocin], which is the chief ingredient in the production of the more effective but illegal forms of Exile, a Combat Booster used to increase a capsuleer's armor repair amount by a certain percentage. The high-sec region of Solitude sees regular signature-site occurrences of [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Celadon_Mykoserocin Celadon Mykoserocin], used to make the milder, legal, and less profitable form of Exile.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Gas sites in Solitude occur very frequently in both high- and low-security areas.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Ice belts ===
| |
| − | * Niballe (0.6 / 3 jumps from Boystin) is the most popular ice belt in the area. Regulars are generally friendly and plenty of ice to go around. Look for blue fleets to join or simply ask for boosts.
| |
| − | * Cadelanne (0.1 / 9 jumps from Boystin) typically only has a few residents, often blue.
| |
| − | * I-YGGI (-0.20 / 4 jumps from Boystin) out of the way null sec ice belt that has few visitors. Note: Will spawn BS rats, so make sure you have a good tank.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that it is not recommended to ice mine while away from the keyboard (AFK). There are local entities that have been known to suicide gank (using large groups of expendable destroyers) miners that are non-responsive.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Regular mining ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Project Solitude has several members who run regular mining fleets with Orca boosts. Both shared-can and u-haul ops occur. For more information and fleet formation check the Solitude forum and ask in the Solitude.E-Uni chat. Mining loaners are available to campus members and Ventures are available in the Vecodie hangar.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Refining services ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Project Solitude has several members who can provide refining services in Solitude
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | === Manufacturing and Research ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are several student-owned and operated research POS in Solitude. Several mobile laboratories are available for lease in their various capacities. More information is on the forums [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=64799 here]. Ask in chat for more details.<br />
| |
