Wartime Operations in EVE University: Difference between revisions

The golden rule in EVE Online is: '''{{co|green|"Don't fly anything you can't afford to lose"}}'''. This also means never put all your possessions in one ship, and don't fit expensive modules unless you can easily afford to replace them.

~~=== The Basics ===~~

~~When you first join EVE University you will be prompted to do all of the following things:~~

* Read the [[EVE University Rules]] page

* Set up your Overview to the [[Installing the EVE University Overview|EVE University Overview]] which will show war targets with this icon <span class="flashy">{{icon|tag war|9}}</span>

* Install [[Mumble]] {{icon|mumble}} so that you can ask for help quickly if you need it

* Join our [[EVE University Chat Channels|intel channel]] which is used to report sightings of war targets

~~There are also some things you can do which are not mandatory when joining, but will help:~~

* Consider relocating to one of our [[campuses]]. This is not compulsory, but living at a campus means that there are more EVE University members around to keep an eye out for war targets and to assist if you need it

* Set up some [[Jump Clone|jump clones]] to enable you to jump to another location immediately once every 24 hours. You will need to train Infomorph Psychology, and the cost of this skillbook can be reimbursed through the [[Skillbook Reimbursement Program]]

=== Preparing for war ===

* Hauling ships are also targeted often by war targets, and as hauling is normally a solo activity which often involved visiting trade hubs, it is advisable not to haul on any character which is a member of EVE University. As above, consider creating an alt to haul for you, or using our campus hauling service.

When deciding what ship to fly, consider what you will be doing. If you will be ~~travelling~~ it is sensible to fly a fast ship, like a [[Fast_Frigate#Fast_Frigates|fast frigate]], or alternatively a cheap ship like a [[shuttle]] or [[corvette]]. This gives you the best chance to avoid being targeted, and reduces your ISK lost if you do lose your ship. It is advisable not to travel in a [[capsule]], because they are too easy to kill and also would mean you lose any [[implants]] you are using.

Ensure that you fit your ship sensibly. EVE University has [[:Category:Fittings|suggested fittings]] for most ships. Remember that fitting for PVP combat is very different from fitting for PVE combat such as missions. Even a good mission ship is unlikely to survive a fight with a determined player.
