==Mission Statement==
+
The '''Averon Mining Campus''', originally the '''Amarr Mining Campus''', was one of several campuses within EVE University. The first EVE University Campus to be established beyond the corp's headquarters, it was based in Shemah in the Kador region between 2012 and 2020, before moving to Averon in the Everyshore region for closer proximity to other campuses from 2020 until its closing in 2022. This page represents AMC as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of June 2022, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Shemah or Averon, with the [[Main Community]] formed as a replacement.
−
The Amarr Mining Campus was founded to provide EVE University students with the opportunity to learn how to mine efficiently and safely.  
 
  
−
Our mission includes giving advice for solo mining and providing organised fleet operations. The Amarr Mining Campus enables a cooperative effort in mining operations and educates its members about the most basic and fundamental activity in EVE Online - without which you wouldn’t have your ships - Mining.

You should bring your fastest ship when provided with the location and you can use a hauling service provided by one of the officers to ferry your other items to the AMC if needed. A lot of mining modules and ships are provided by the AMC’s own industry and internal logistics. There are also members in the AMC willing to ship items from the trade hubs if required, typically the local one. During wartime, remember not to bring what you can’t afford to lose. The AMC can provide ECM Griffins for free if requested.

+
Feel free to enter the '''AMC channel''' in the [[Mumble]] server, but please respect the current conversation when entering. If there is chatter specific to a particular fleet, it is polite to use one of the provided subchannels for said fleet.
  
−
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 on running a mining operation, you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine, haul, and scout.  Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at a time.
+
The in-game chat channel is: '''AMC (EVE Uni)'''
  
−
A majority 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. But there are also spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand. We also run frequent [[BYOC|BYOCs]] that you can join. Simply ask in the chat channel for information on what is going on.
+
=== Bookmarking ===
 +
Wormhole bookmarks can be created in the '''AMC Exploration''' folder within the [[Bookmarks#Using Corp Bookmarks|Corporation Locations]]. For mapping purposes we use the [[Archive:AMC Exploration|AMC-Mapper]].
  
−
To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining capable ship fitted with mining lasers. You can 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 for your fleet role. If you require a [[Venture]] or [[Mining_Barge#Mining_Barges|Mining Barge]], you can purchase one at a reduced cost.
+
Mission fleets can similarly make use of the '''AMC Mission Fleet''' folder; and general bookmarks can otherwise be left in the corresponding container within the [[EVE University Corporate Hangars|Freshman Hangar]] at HQ, to be shared with other AMC members.
  
−
===Bring Your Own Can Fleets (BYOC)===
+
== Mining operations ==
−
A BYOC (Bring Your Own Can) mining operation involves an Orca pilot providing boosts to your mining yield and mining laser range, sometimes also reducing capacitor usage that your mining lasers can be cycled quicker if needed. All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots.  It is courteous, though entirely optional, to gift the Orca pilot with a tip as a thank you for the increased yield. Anyone can lead a BYOC, and [[BYOC Boss|being a boss]] is easier than you think.
+
{{Main|Archive:Mining fleets}}
 +
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 on running a mining operation, you only need a [[Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|spreadsheet]] and people to mine, haul, and scout. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at a time.
  
−
===Shared Can (SC)===
+
A majority of the time, [[#Shared Can (SC)|Shared Can]] operations are announced via the in-game calendar, the AMC subforum and the [[Message of the Day|MOTD]], so everyone can see whether they'd be able to join in advance. But there are also spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand. We also run frequent [[Archive:BYOC]]s that you can join. Simply ask in the chat channel for information on what is going on.
−
Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander organises for boosters and haulers to be available during the operation. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they wish. After the mining operation, the ore is sold with the [[#AMC Buy-Back|AMC Buy-Back Service]] and divided between the members according to their time spent in-fleet. For information on running a Shared Can fleet, click [[Running AMC Fleets|here]].
 
  
−
===Gas Harvesting===
+
To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining-capable ship fitted with mining lasers. You can also use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting with the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate for your fleet role. If you require a [[Venture]] or [[Mining Barge#Mining Barges|Mining Barge]], note that there are [[Venture]] hulls available for free in the [[EVE University Corporate Hangars|Freshman Hangar]], and barges can be purchased at a reduced price. Other fully-fitted mining ships are also available from the campus.
−
For those able or willing to '[[Gas  Cloud Mining|huff gas]]' in wormhole space, the AMC members often provide opportunities to collaboratively harvest gas from wormhole sites. There are no restrictions on the ships you want to fly in these operations, the ships can range from combat based ships to [[Prospect]]s for better gas mining. These are similar to 'BYOC' operations however boosts may not be available.
 
  
−
===Wormhole Mining===
+
=== Bring Your Own Can (BYOC) ===
−
There is opportunity to mine out asteroids in wormhole space with others in the AMC generally and sometimes the capability of mining ore in a shared can operation with ships provided for the duration of the operation.
+
A BYOC (Bring Your Own Can) mining operation involves an [[Orca]] or [[Porpoise]] pilot providing boosts to your mining yield and mining laser range, reducing also the capacitor usage of your mining lasers so that they can cycle faster. All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots. It is courteous, though entirely optional, to gift the Orca pilot with [[Archive:BYOC#BYOC Booster Tipping|a tip]] as a thank you for the increased yield. Anyone can lead a BYOC, and [[Archive:BYOC Boss|being a boss]] is easier than you think.
  
−
===Site Mining===
+
=== Shared Can (SC) ===
−
During missions or in general, there are sites to mine out in the AMC that have better or other ores than the ones typically found locally. These can be spawned by missions or by running combat sites. There are also sites that spontaneously appear around the local systems which are available to mine. Ice mining is also supported by the AMC and Ice mining related modules are required for profitable ice mining.
+
Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander arranges for boosters and haulers to be available during the operation. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they wish. After the mining operation, the ore is sold with the [[#AMC Buyback|AMC Buyback Service]] and divided between the members according to their time spent in-fleet. For information on running a Shared Can fleet, click [[Running AMC Fleets|here]].
  
−
==Services==
+
=== Gas harvesting ===
−
===AMC Buy-Back===
+
For those able or willing to '[[Gas cloud harvesting|huff gas]]', some AMC members occasionally provide opportunities to collaboratively harvest gas in [[wormhole]] space. There are no restrictions on the ships you'd fly in these operations, ranging from combat-based ships to [[Venture]]s and [[Prospect]]s for a better yield. These are similar to 'BYOC' operations, although boosts may not be available. Gas sites are found via [[Archive:AMC Exploration|exploration near AMC]], and familiarity with the [[Archive:WHC Mapper|mapper]] is very useful.
−
While you are a member of the '''Amarr Mining Campus''', you may use the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet 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 after the Buy-Back contract is accepted. From there, the AMC team takes over and your ore/minerals are refined, hauled and sold to the market. The price paid through the Buy-Back is slightly below Jita price to make sure that the costs for hauling and selling are covered. Any profit made by this service, as with any service we run, is re-invested within the AMC and is used to help the campus function as normal. For example the [[#Free T1 Modules/Ships|Free T1 Modules/Ships]] and [[#T2 Module Lottery|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 hauling ore or minerals to market yourself. When you use this AMC service, please refer to the corresponding [[AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|Wiki Page]] page.
+
=== Wormhole mining ===
 +
In addition to gas, wormholes also contain [[Wormhole sites#Ore sites|ore]] and [[Wormhole sites#Ice belts|ice]] sites. The latter, in particular, can be found in [[Shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] and, given all classes of ice are present, it isn't rare for the campus members to seize the opportunity or band together in an improvised operation whenever one such wormhole spawns and is detected near AMC.
  
−
===AMC Refining===
+
=== Site mining ===
 +
While running missions or exploring, sites with better -or different- ores than the ones typically found at the local belts can be found. There are also [[Asteroids and ore#Cosmic anomalies|ore anomalies]] that spontaneously appear in the area, and [[Ice harvesting#Ice belts|ice belts]] in selected systems. [[Ice harvesting|Ice mining]] is indeed supported by AMC, and a frequent activity among the campus members. Coordination for ice mining is often done via the [[Discord]].
  
−
The [[AMC Refining Service Spreadsheet|AMC Refining Service]] offers our members a perfect refine of ore from AMC Home Station. To allow us to run the AMC and all related services we take a small handling fee for this service. The outcome of the service will be higher than a perfect refine with 0% tax in an NPC Station. For more information and to submit your refining request, please visit the [[AMC Refining Service Spreadsheet|AMC Refining Service]] wiki page.
+
== Services ==
 +
=== AMC Buyback ===
 +
One of the key services of the '''Averon Mining Campus''' is the [[Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|AMC Buyback Service]], which lets you sell your ore, gas and ice directly from the AMC home system. This service offers a higher payout than a new player would otherwise get without significant skills and standings, benefiting from both the higher value of the refined materials along with the prices in <font color="white">'''Jita'''</font>, where we sell them - not to mention the logistics of moving it.
  
−
===Free T1 Mining Ship===
+
The fee for this service is 4% of the refined value of the ore, ice and gas submitted, which is automatically deducted from the corresponding Jita-buy prices by the corresponding spreadsheet, so you don’t need to work it out. Said fee helps support the AMC services and hangars - for example, the Half-Priced Mining Barges provided by the campus are funded out of this ISK.
−
If you are concerned that you do not have a usable ship for mining when you join the '''Amarr Mining Campus''', the '''AMC''' offers a free [[Venture]]. The AMC also provides you with a [[#Loaner Fleet|Loaner Fleet Service]] and slightly reduced cost [[Mining Barge]]. To get the [[Venture]] you can take one out of the Corporation Hangar in the Home Station. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the [[#Using the Hangars|Hangar]] section.
 
  
−
===Free T1 Modules===
+
With this point in mind, it is recommended to use this service, as not only would you save a lot of effort and typically make more ISK, but you'd help out future AMC members and the campus. Please refer to the corresponding [[Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet|wiki page]] for more information.
−
While you are in the '''Amarr Mining Campus''' you can make use of the following Modules to fit your ship to optimize your mining (all available items are within the corporation hangar in home station).  If you do not see an item in the corporation hangar, please contact an officer about the availability of the module you are seeking. There is also a large number of T1 and T2 modules and ships available for purchase from the AMC, just contact an officer to request these.
 
  
−
===AMC BYOB (Build your own Barge)===
+
=== AMC Refining ===
−
(New Service as of 25 January 2015)
 
  
−
The Amarr Mining Campus would like to offer you an additional way to get yourself into a mining barge beside loaning and buying an assembled one.
+
The [[AMC Refining Service Spreadsheet|AMC Refining Service]] offers a perfect reprocessing yield at the AMC refinery. This allows our members to get more materials out of their ore or ice than they would normally do - the outcome of the service will be higher than a perfect refine with 0% tax in an NPC Station.
  
−
The AMC provides you with a BPC (Blue Print Copy) and the required minerals required to build the Mining Barge of you choice (Retreiver, Procurer or Covetor), for the BPC and Minerals you purchase at the price of the minerals quoted from Jita when you request your BYOB package. To request a BYOB package, send a mail to the [[#Leadership|AMC team members]] with the BYOB package you want to get and we setup a contract to you with all the required stuff in a station container.
+
There is no fee for this service.
  
−
We provide this service to all AMC members for their own use but not to move the produced barges to the market. Please be fair to all our members and request only the numbers you'll require to fly yourself in the AMC.
+
Please refer to the corresponding [[AMC Refining Service Spreadsheet|wiki page]] for more information.
  
−
It is advisable if you do not otherwise have the hauling ship yourself that you borrow a [[Kryos]] to move the materials to the station with industry facilities or please note in the mail that you would like us to contract it in the other station if you don't have the industrial skill to fly a [[Kryos]]. You may request the skillbook Gallente Industrial along with the Kryos, it is otherwise available locally through NPC seeded stations.
+
=== Free T1 Mining Ships ===
 +
If you are concerned that you may not have a suitable mining ship upon joining, the '''Averon Mining Campus''' offers a free [[Venture]] to its members. Simply take one out of the '''Corporation Hangar''' at HQ, or ask any [[Titles within EVE University#Freshman|Freshman]] to pick it for you if you are yet to receive that title. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the [[EVE University Corporate Hangars]] page.
  
−
===Loaner Fleet===
+
=== Free Modules and Charges ===
−
The '''Amarr Mining Campus''' will loan mining related ships from our "loaner fleet", however this more of a dorsal fin than a fleet as it only consists of [[Retriever]] and [[Covetor]].
+
During your stay at the '''Averon Mining Campus''' you can make use of the modules, hulls, drones and charges provided through the '''Corporation Hangar''' at HQ. These include mining and exploration equipment, burst charges and mining crystals, among other items. A complete list can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sIsZC0WL5qVdgN1PFw75eNgwfMyPbK0vzBkRuRJn9O4 here].
  
−
====Loan Policies====
+
For those items pertaining to the campus inventory, and sold instead at Jita-sell price, please contact a '''Hangar Officer''' or drop a message in ''#amc-ping'' in the [[Discord|AMC Discord]] with your request.
−
Mining ship loans are made with the hope that they will allow you to earn the funds to purchase a mining vessel of your own. Participation in AMC operations is optional but encouraged. Membership to the AMC is required for a loan mining barge of the types specified and it will be loaned within the AMC area.
 
  
−
====Policies====
+
=== Free Station Containers ===
−
*Loans are made for two weeks. Extended loans will be granted based on individual decisions.
+
We provide [[Containers#Station Container|Station Containers]] to help you organize your hangars. Just ask a '''Hangar Officer''' or drop a message in ''#amc-ping'' in the [[Discord|AMC Discord]] with the required amount.
−
*Contract will be issued by an AMC Team member 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 an AMC Team member as soon as possible with the kill mail and an explanation of what happened. In this case the borrower is expected to replace the lost ship and fittings.
 
−
*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, due to game mechanics we cannot return the rigs, nor will we offer to repay or replace them.
 
  
−
====Placing a ship Loan Request====
+
=== Half-Priced Mining Barges ===
−
Send a forum mail to any AMC Team member. If a fit is desired then please specify in the mail otherwise the barge will be loaned with no fittings. An AMC Officer will either contract you the barge or they may trade it with yourself. Once the loaned barge has been accepted and after the loan period, you can contract or trade the barge back.
+
To help new members get up to speed as soon as they train the necessary skills, the '''Averon Mining Campus''' offers Mining Barges (i.e. [[Procurer]], [[Retriever]] and [[Covetor]]) at a reduced price.
  
−
===AMC Lotteries===
+
These hulls are sold at half the corresponding Jita-sell price and, when a fully-fitted barge is requested, any modules and drones made available for free through the '''Corporation Hangar''' would also be included free of charge in the fitted ship. For any additional modules and rigs, the full Jita-sell price would apply.
  
−
The Miner’s Lottery is conducted for every shared can mining fleet, in which all participants have an equal chance to win a random prize from the following list:
+
Given its purpose, a maximum of five (5) barges per uni member can be acquired at a reduced price under this program, although further mining barges can nevertheless be purchased at full price once said limit is met. To make a request, please contact a '''Hangar Officer''' or drop a message in ''#amc-ping'' in the [[Discord|AMC Discord]].
  
−
*1x Mining Barge from [[Covetor]], [[Retriever]] OR [[Procurer]]
+
=== Other Mining Ships ===
−
*1x T2 Mining Frigate from [[Prospect]] OR [[Endurance]]
+
In addition to the above barges, a number of mining and [[Industrial Command Ships]] can also be acquired at Jita-sell price from the campus, with those items made available for free through the '''Corporation Hangar''' still included free of charge in this case.
−
*3x Modulated Strip Miner II

The Averon Mining Campus, originally the Amarr Mining Campus, was one of several campuses within EVE University. The first EVE University Campus to be established beyond the corp's headquarters, it was based in Shemah in the Kador region between 2012 and 2020, before moving to Averon in the Everyshore region for closer proximity to other campuses from 2020 until its closing in 2022. This page represents AMC as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of June 2022, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Shemah or Averon, with the Main Community formed as a replacement.

Mission Statement

The Averon Mining Campus was founded to provide EVE University students with the opportunity to learn how to mine efficiently and safely.

Our mission includes giving advice for solo mining and providing organized fleet operations. The Averon Mining Campus enables a cooperative effort in mining operations and educates its members about the most basic and fundamental activity in EVE Online - without which you wouldn’t have your ships - mining.

You will learn how to maximize your productivity in a supportive environment when in Shared Cans, and can frequently enjoy ‘boosts’ provided by other AMC members in Bring Your Own Can operations. Members will also have the opportunity to get used to managing spreadsheets to help keep track of mining fleets, and how to arrange their own. Our members aim to be helpful and engaging, helping with more advanced topics along the way, making the AMC an ideal place to practice mining, industry and research.

Background

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

A number of criteria were set up to choose a suitable location for AMC, concerning its seclusion, accessibility to a central trade hub, profitability, and also the variety among the activities possible around the campus.

In September 2020 the Amarr Mining Campus moved from its home in Amarr space and relocated to the Averon system in Gallente space. At this time it was decided to rebrand as the Averon Mining Campus.

The AMC is currently headquartered at Averon VII - Moon 3 - Caldari Business Tribunal Information Center

Leadership

The Averon Mining Campus is currently managed by:

  • Alpha GoreSnorkel (Officer)
  • Byron Thani (Officer)
  • Edswifa Rova (Officer)
  • Samsam James (Officer)
  • Spanktracula (Officer)
  • William Archer (Officer)

Joining the Averon Mining Campus

The AMC is looking for EVE University members with an interest and a desire to invest in mining in the long term. This ranges from mining in ore and ice belts, ore anomalies and moons in our systems, to operating in wormholes - covertly harvesting gas in unknown space. All current members of EVE University are welcome to join us. Head on down to campus and say hello!

Items to bring

You should bring your fastest ship and you can contact people on campus to ferry your other items to the AMC if needed. A lot of mining modules and ships are provided by the AMC’s own industry and internal logistics. There are also members in the AMC willing to ship items from the trade hubs if required, typically the local one. During wartime, remember not to bring what you can’t afford to lose. The AMC can provide ECM Griffins for free if requested.

Alts

The Averon Mining Campus is currently open to Alts from any Ivy League members. We do not currently accept +5 (NAP) or +10 (Friends) characters or Alumni. In general, any Alt that participates in an AMC operation needs to be approved by an AMC Officer in advance.

Moreover, contact an officer, or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord, to have your alts added to the access list for the AMC chat.

Campus Rules and Procedures

General

  • As for all EVE University campuses, the EVE University Rules take precedence.
  • 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. This is for your own safety, as war targets can attack you without interference from CONCORD even in high-sec space.
  • Do not place a MTU on any asteroid belts within 6 jumps of the home system. The exception to this rule is for operations and with FC permission.
  • Help other campus members to learn.
  • Fly what you can afford to lose.

PvP

  • Running PvP ops at AMC is not forbidden, but kills and losses must be kept at an absolute minimum.
  • The only exception to the allowed PvP ops is war targets, which can only be engaged for rescue operations or with AMC Officer permission. Instead, dock up until they leave.
  • The EVE University 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. Please refrain from taking over someone’s site if they’re in the campus, and respect the rights of other players to the content of the sites even if they are not in the Uni.

Local chat

Local chat is advised to be kept open in a separate window, set up so that the minimum amount of conversation is presented in favour of a longer member list.

Communication

Feel free to enter the AMC channel in the Mumble server, but please respect the current conversation when entering. If there is chatter specific to a particular fleet, it is polite to use one of the provided subchannels for said fleet.

The in-game chat channel is: AMC (EVE Uni)

Bookmarking

Wormhole bookmarks can be created in the AMC Exploration folder within the Corporation Locations. For mapping purposes we use the AMC-Mapper.

Mission fleets can similarly make use of the AMC Mission Fleet folder; and general bookmarks can otherwise be left in the corresponding container within the Freshman Hangar at HQ, to be shared with other AMC members.

Mining operations

Main article: Archive:Mining fleets

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 on running a mining operation, you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine, haul, and scout. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at a time.

A majority of the time, Shared Can operations are announced via the in-game calendar, the AMC subforum and the MOTD, so everyone can see whether they'd be able to join in advance. But there are also spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand. We also run frequent Archive:BYOCs that you can join. Simply ask in the chat channel for information on what is going on.

To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining-capable ship fitted with mining lasers. You can also use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting with the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate for your fleet role. If you require a Venture or Mining Barge, note that there are Venture hulls available for free in the Freshman Hangar, and barges can be purchased at a reduced price. Other fully-fitted mining ships are also available from the campus.

Bring Your Own Can (BYOC)

A BYOC (Bring Your Own Can) mining operation involves an Orca or Porpoise pilot providing boosts to your mining yield and mining laser range, reducing also the capacitor usage of your mining lasers so that they can cycle faster. All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots. It is courteous, though entirely optional, to gift the Orca pilot with a tip as a thank you for the increased yield. Anyone can lead a BYOC, and being a boss is easier than you think.

Shared Can (SC)

Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander arranges for boosters and haulers to be available during the operation. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they wish. After the mining operation, the ore is sold with the AMC Buyback Service and divided between the members according to their time spent in-fleet. For information on running a Shared Can fleet, click here.

Gas harvesting

For those able or willing to 'huff gas', some AMC members occasionally provide opportunities to collaboratively harvest gas in wormhole space. There are no restrictions on the ships you'd fly in these operations, ranging from combat-based ships to Ventures and Prospects for a better yield. These are similar to 'BYOC' operations, although boosts may not be available. Gas sites are found via exploration near AMC, and familiarity with the mapper is very useful.

Wormhole mining

In addition to gas, wormholes also contain ore and ice sites. The latter, in particular, can be found in shattered wormholes and, given all classes of ice are present, it isn't rare for the campus members to seize the opportunity or band together in an improvised operation whenever one such wormhole spawns and is detected near AMC.

Site mining

While running missions or exploring, sites with better -or different- ores than the ones typically found at the local belts can be found. There are also ore anomalies that spontaneously appear in the area, and ice belts in selected systems. Ice mining is indeed supported by AMC, and a frequent activity among the campus members. Coordination for ice mining is often done via the Discord.

Services

AMC Buyback

One of the key services of the Averon Mining Campus is the AMC Buyback Service, which lets you sell your ore, gas and ice directly from the AMC home system. This service offers a higher payout than a new player would otherwise get without significant skills and standings, benefiting from both the higher value of the refined materials along with the prices in Jita, where we sell them - not to mention the logistics of moving it.

The fee for this service is 4% of the refined value of the ore, ice and gas submitted, which is automatically deducted from the corresponding Jita-buy prices by the corresponding spreadsheet, so you don’t need to work it out. Said fee helps support the AMC services and hangars - for example, the Half-Priced Mining Barges provided by the campus are funded out of this ISK.

With this point in mind, it is recommended to use this service, as not only would you save a lot of effort and typically make more ISK, but you'd help out future AMC members and the campus. Please refer to the corresponding wiki page for more information.

AMC Refining

The AMC Refining Service offers a perfect reprocessing yield at the AMC refinery. This allows our members to get more materials out of their ore or ice than they would normally do - the outcome of the service will be higher than a perfect refine with 0% tax in an NPC Station.

There is no fee for this service.

Please refer to the corresponding wiki page for more information.

Free T1 Mining Ships

If you are concerned that you may not have a suitable mining ship upon joining, the Averon Mining Campus offers a free Venture to its members. Simply take one out of the Corporation Hangar at HQ, or ask any Freshman to pick it for you if you are yet to receive that title. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the EVE University Corporate Hangars page.

Free Modules and Charges

During your stay at the Averon Mining Campus you can make use of the modules, hulls, drones and charges provided through the Corporation Hangar at HQ. These include mining and exploration equipment, burst charges and mining crystals, among other items. A complete list can be found here.

For those items pertaining to the campus inventory, and sold instead at Jita-sell price, please contact a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord with your request.

Free Station Containers

We provide Station Containers to help you organize your hangars. Just ask a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord with the required amount.

Half-Priced Mining Barges

To help new members get up to speed as soon as they train the necessary skills, the Averon Mining Campus offers Mining Barges (i.e. Procurer, Retriever and Covetor) at a reduced price.

These hulls are sold at half the corresponding Jita-sell price and, when a fully-fitted barge is requested, any modules and drones made available for free through the Corporation Hangar would also be included free of charge in the fitted ship. For any additional modules and rigs, the full Jita-sell price would apply.

Given its purpose, a maximum of five (5) barges per uni member can be acquired at a reduced price under this program, although further mining barges can nevertheless be purchased at full price once said limit is met. To make a request, please contact a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord.

Other Mining Ships

In addition to the above barges, a number of mining and Industrial Command Ships can also be acquired at Jita-sell price from the campus, with those items made available for free through the Corporation Hangar still included free of charge in this case.

The available fits can be found in the AMC Forum Section post here

Concerning the latter, it shall be noted that Medium Drone Mining Augmentor rigs are available as an alternative for the Porpoise; and the Orca can be requested without rigs if trading the extra tank for mining yield would be desired - but the Large Drone Mining Augmentor rigs will have to be sourced independently.

Once again, please contact a Hangar Officer or drop a message in #amc-ping in the AMC Discord to make a request.

BPO Library

We have a large BPO library available for members to make copies for their own use, along with manufacturing and research facilities. Please refer to this thread for more information.

Local Ore Hauling Service

We have a local ore hauling service available within our constellation to members who mine outside of our home system and are unable to haul their ore back to Averon themselves. This service is intended to help them take advantage of our Buyback and Refine programs. Please refer to this thread for more information.
