I would strongly encourage everyone at E-UNI looking for ways to contribute to the Uni and/or provide content for their fellow players to have a go at the CCI program, regardless of duration of membership or (in)experience in Eve Online. CCI was an excellent motivator for me to attend E-UNI's calendar events consistently, to jump headfirst into areas of the game (both in space and in skills) I might otherwise have not touched, and to pointedly think about where/when/how I could begin contributing time and knowledge back to E-UNI and other newbuds coming up behind me. The twelve month time limit is not as intimidating as it might sound, and CCI officers (especially Croixant) were very open and straightforward about the criteria and what could be done to meet CCI requirements. Obligatory shoutouts to Zolpidemz as a superb [[Mentor Program|mentor]] (another program you should take full advantage of), [[User:Elan Vital|Elan Vital]] as an excellent backseat-FC and fight club host, and Spanky Ikkala for helping me get started in teaching classes; all three played significant parts in supporting my CCI journey.

Lan Man as of YC124

Lan Man

Lan Man (he/him/they) entered New Eden on 1 October YC124 (2022). Lan completed capsuleer and career agent training at Hadaugago II - Moon 1 - Republic Military School, and proceeded shortly after to apply to Eve University, enrolling on 5 October YC124.

In the Real World

I had played Eve Online in 2013-2014 for a period of ~8 months under a different character, flying at first with BRAVE in Syndicate, and then with IRL friends in a lowsec pirate corporation. I drifted away due to other gaming interests, and discomfort at not being able to contribute meaningfully in PvP as a low skill character. I returned to Eve in 2022 seeking a long-term game, but this time with willingness to embrace the complexity and learn the game fully. In that light I felt a need for a fresh start under a new name, and that enrolling in and seeking to graduate from Eve University would be a far better means to learn the game rather than jumping into the deep end of the pool as before.

Interests

  • ⚔️ Small gang PVP
  • 👨‍🏫 Teaching
  • 🪐 Exploration, Scouting, and Sightseeing
  • 🍻 Beer and whisky
  • 💥 Ship explosions

Not necessarily in order.

Personal Projects

In Progress

  • [CLASS] Introduction to Pathfinder

Following sessions of Intro to Wormhole Mechanics in February and March 2023, several attendees expressed interest in an Introduction to Pathfinder style class. Intent here is to create a class which can be delivered via live demo in Pathfinder, with slides and speaking notes sufficient to teach the material outside of Pathfinder and/or for learners to consume individually if necessary. RC1 of this class was submitted for Teaching Department review via Discord on March 21, 2023.

History in Eve University

To be earned.

Community Content Initiative

I enrolled in the Community Content Initiative on 18 October, 2022, very shortly after joining Eve University. I completed my CCI journey on 28 March, 2023.

I would strongly encourage everyone at E-UNI looking for ways to contribute to the Uni and/or provide content for their fellow players to have a go at the CCI program, regardless of duration of membership or (in)experience in Eve Online. CCI was an excellent motivator for me to attend E-UNI's calendar events consistently, to jump headfirst into areas of the game (both in space and in skills) I might otherwise have not touched, and to pointedly think about where/when/how I could begin contributing time and knowledge back to E-UNI and other newbuds coming up behind me. The twelve month time limit is not as intimidating as it might sound, and CCI officers (especially Croixant) were very open and straightforward about the criteria and what could be done to meet CCI requirements. Obligatory shoutouts to Zolpidemz as a superb mentor (another program you should take full advantage of), Elan Vital as an excellent backseat-FC and fight club host, and Spanky Ikkala for helping me get started in teaching classes; all three played significant parts in supporting my CCI journey.

Junior FC

I joined the Fleet Command team as a Junior FC in December 2022, and am easing into PvP FC'ing via the 2IC role where/when able.

Teacher

I have taught a few classes at Eve University, and try to make my presenters notes available both via the teaching department and on demand. Classes I have taught include:
