'''PYOS''' (or '''Purchase Your Own Ship''') is a program akin to [[BYOM Ship Production|BYOM]], but with plain ISK. The primary aim of the program is to make a large array of T1 ships readily available to University students without the need to travel. Requesting a ship is a simple matter: issue a corporation contract to the University with the name of your ship and a set price. Within a few days, your order should be filled by an industrious corp mate and your chosen ship will be in your hangar. The price of ships is set to an internal mineral list with an added 4% to cover expenses and market fluctuations. Ideally the program will turn a small profit for the University to help cover other programs. The list of ship prices can be found [https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AvYJIcQXz8NwdHVaczFaUENGMGZLdmpHaUhGR3BPMVE&hl=en&single=true&gid=2&output=html here] and please, '''no reselling of ships'''.

==The program==

Line 10:

==Procedure==

# To post a contract for a corporation, review [[How to do Corp Contracts]]. For a PYOS ship put the acronym and ship name in the contract description, like "PYOS Scorpion x 1". Enter the price listed at the link above and that's it! If you'd like to sell a ship this way simply look for issued contracts on a regular basis and see if one pops up for a ship type you can supply. You might be able to make more profit by selling elsewhere at market price, and that's perfectly fine too. PYOS allows you another potential market in Aldrat in case you don't want to mess with moving ships or want to help support your fellow ~~unistas~~. Also see option 3)

# To see which ships may appear for instant purchase check the list below first and then simply review corp contracts to see if there is one available. Accept the contract and you'll be short some ~~iskies~~, but richer by a shiny new ship.

# This option is not available yet, pending demand review. If we implement this option it'll work the exact way as a student putting up a PYOS contract, you'll just be filling it for the Uni instead of a student.

# We keep an internal stock of minerals of substantial quantity. Should we need to replenish we may issue Corp Contracts for minerals, or alternatively simply list buy orders in Aldrat. If this option becomes active we'll put a sticky thread in The Exchange and update each time we issue contracts (http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=40)

Line 18:

==High demand ships==

These ships will be kept in stock and contracts ~~maintained~~ to make them available whenever possible. Exact ships and stock count will be adjusted over time, and we may run out at times.

These ships will be kept in stock and insta-buy contracts may occasionally be published to make them available whenever possible. Exact ships and stock count will be adjusted over time, and we may run out at times.

* Drake ~~(beginning experiment)~~

* [[Drake]]

* [[Hurricane]]

If you make a habit of losing a particular ship all the time feel free to suggest for it to be added. Frigates will likely not be considered due to overhead / availability in the corp hangar + bulk PYOS packs.

==FAQ ==

Q: Could this be expanded to cover T2 ships?

A: No, T2 ships ~~are too much effort. Besides, that~~'s ~~a great area to look into working yourself down the road :)~~

A: Maaaaybe... we won't build T2 ships, but we could perhaps start "buffering" T2 ships if there's demand

Q: Can I order a ship for my alt?

Line 32:

Line 33:

Q: Any chance to do barges, orca, etc?

A: ~~Not at this time. mining ship BPOs are very expensive compared to~~ the ~~cost of~~ the ~~ship.~~

A: We have actually added the [[Retriever]] and the [[Noctis]] was also added when it was released - but that's it for now (unless somebody wants to donate a Covetor BPO!)

Q: Can I order more than one ship at once?
