Initiated by E-UNI miners Ubermensch Invictus, Seranti Olerie and Vger Starseed in March, 2012 so that they can "haz" Pyroxeres to satiate the demand for Pyrox jewelled necklaces from their many e-girlfriends (because they were such popular, sexy and social miners) and to escape the broken game feature that is omber, the Amarr Mining Camp (AMC) was born. It has in a short span of time become the premiere (and only) mining camp within the UNI. | Initiated by E-UNI miners Ubermensch Invictus, Seranti Olerie and Vger Starseed in March, 2012 so that they can "haz" Pyroxeres to satiate the demand for Pyrox jewelled necklaces from their many e-girlfriends (because they were such popular, sexy and social miners) and to escape the broken game feature that is omber, the Amarr Mining Camp (AMC) was born. It has in a short span of time become the premiere (and only) mining camp within the UNI. | ||
The | The '''original''', non-RP purpose of the AMC was to allow E-UNI miners the opportunity to mine the ore Pyroxeres because it is the highest valued ore in all of highsec in terms of ISK/hr ([http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=25250&start=0 current as of 03/2012]). Unfortunately, Pyroxeres is not available in Metropolis' highsec space where Aldrat (E-UNI HQ) is, it is only available in Caldari and Amarr regions. However, our goals have changed since the conception of the AMC, we are still trying to maximize the ISK/hr for our fleets but we've also incorporated a teaching aspect. One of our long term goals is to ensure that E-Uni miners are prepared not only to run fleets in the most efficient manner but are also equipped to survive in the harsh low ((and null)) security environment of Eve. | ||
The AMC was started in Amarr space at its current classified HQ because it presented an ideal balance of: a decent distance from Aldrat, reasonable distance from a major market hub, an abundance of asteroid belts that contain high quality ores (+5 and +10 ores) in a very quiet constellation with a 50% refinery station, it is also far away from low security systems as well as any ice belts (popular for gankers). Organizing miners at a single location also makes it easier for them to combine their efforts into [[mining#cooperative_mining|shared can]] mining fleets that get bonuses from the many [[Orca]] pilots gathered there. This provides newer E-UNI miners the opportunity to make much more ISK while in a fleet as opposed to solo mining and is thus highly encouraged. An impressive number of miners, haulers, Orca boosters, Freighters and perfect refiners have been amassed at the AMC resulting in more or less daily shared can mining fleet operations in addition to frequent [[mining#solo_mining|Bring-Your-Own-Can (BYOC)]] operations. | The AMC was started in Amarr space at its current classified HQ because it presented an ideal balance of: a decent distance from Aldrat, reasonable distance from a major market hub, an abundance of asteroid belts that contain high quality ores (+5 and +10 ores) in a very quiet constellation with a 50% refinery station, it is also far away from low security systems as well as any ice belts (popular for gankers).
