**IMPORTANT: Choose where you ask questions in game chats wisely! For example, don't say "I'm in Scheenins, about to leave for Amygnon; can anybody tell me if it's safe?" in Eve University (EVE Uni), as you're advertising both your location and your inexperience in a public (and therefore unsafe) chat! | **IMPORTANT: Choose where you ask questions in game chats wisely!

==FIGHTING WAR TARGETS:== | |||
* We do NOT advise very new players to attempt to take on a war target alone. They don't play fair, and will be flying a better ship than you, often have other WTs nearby, and have had much more practice. You will almost certainly lose! | * We do NOT advise very new players to attempt to take on a war target alone.

*HOWEVER, E-Uni has numbers on our side and we can form QRF's (Quick response Fleets - this is when whoever is nearby, who wishes to, can quickly form a fleet) in order to chase off (and sometimes kill) WT's from our areas (they might try to pick off a straggler or two, but mostly they are after solo, easy kills and are pretty risk averse.)... but that is beyond the scope of this post!! :D | *HOWEVER, E-Uni has numbers on our side and we can form QRF's (Quick response Fleets - this is when whoever is nearby, who wishes to, can quickly form a fleet) in order to chase off (and sometimes kill) WT's from our areas (they might try to pick off a straggler or two, but mostly they are after solo, easy kills and are pretty risk averse.)... but that is beyond the scope of this post!! :D | ||
