Incursions are high-end PvE content, in which fleets of players | Incursions are high-end PvE content, in which fleets of players repell NPC invaders. Incursions appear in various systems around New Eden, so incursion runners tend to be nomadic, moving from system to system following incursion areas. Incursions are rewarded with ISK and [[Loyalty Points]], though payouts are only made to a limited number of people on grid at the same time. For this reason, it is particularly important that each member of the fleet is effective in their role, and so they tend to fly [[battleships]] and T2 [[Logistics ships|logistics ships]]. <br /> | ||
{{euninote|For [[EVE University]] members, our [[EVE University Incursion Community]] always needs players to act as scouts or pickets, and this role does not require any specific skills or experience. In return for keeping the incursion fleet safe, they will provide tips, which can be a very lucrative income for a new player. However, note that this is specific to our community, and not a role that all incursion communities use.}} | {{euninote|For [[EVE University]] members, our [[EVE University Incursion Community]] always needs players to act as scouts or pickets, and this role does not require any specific skills or experience.

Asteroid belts spawn throughout New Eden, and they must be mined to feed Eve's player economy. In addition to asteroids, players can use specialised equipment to mine ice from ice belts and harvest gas from gas clouds. | Asteroid belts spawn throughout New Eden, and they must be mined to feed Eve's player economy.

The mined ore, ice and gas can either be sold in its raw form, or refined into minerals. In general, rarer and more valuable resources are found in lower security space, with very valuable mining possible in nullsec and wormholes. Miners exploiting resources in low- or null-security space and in wormholes | The mined ore, ice and gas can either be sold in its raw form, or refined into minerals. In general, rarer and more valuable resources are found in lower security space, with very valuable mining possible in nullsec and wormholes. Miners exploiting resources in low- or null-security space and in wormholes can use cunning to avoid detection (sometimes called "ninja-mining"), or they can join the player groups who own most of nullsec and who live in some wormholes. | ||
Mining has a low entry barrier, but mining efficiency can be substantially improved by training the right [[Mining#Skills|skills]] and [[Mining#Implants|implants]], and using more advanced equipment and [[Mining#Ships|ships]]. [[Alpha clones]] can mine, although the only specialized mining ship they can use is the [[Venture]]. Players can mine either alone or as part of a mining fleet, and can produce a stable income stream doing an undemanding activity which is usually calm. However, miners are always vulnerable to attacks by other players as well as, in high-sec space, [[Can flipping|can flippers]], so it can be a risky profession.<br /> | Mining has a low entry barrier, but mining efficiency can be substantially improved by training the right [[Mining#Skills|skills]] and [[Mining#Implants|implants]], and using more advanced equipment and [[Mining#Ships|ships]].
