Amarr Mining Camp: Difference between revisions

The original purpose of the AMC was to provide E-UNI miners the opportunity to mine in organized fleets which were centered around the idea of increasing the value of mining operations in terms of ISK/hr. The AMC also set its sights on Pyroxeres (the most valuable ore in all of highsec ([http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=25250&start=0 current as of 03/2012])) however, this particular ore is not available in Metropolis' high-sec space where [[Aldrat]] (E-UNI HQ) is located which is why the AMC formed; to enable Miners to branch out to neighbouring systems so they too could have access to the precious ore. Since then, however, the AMC's goals have changed. While still attempting to maximize the ISK/hr for our fleets, we've also incorporated a teaching aspect. One of our long-term goals is to ensure that E-UNI miners are not only prepared to run fleets in the most efficient manner, but are also equipped to survive in the harsh economic environments of EVE.

The '''Amarr Mining Camp''' is located 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 [[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|shared can]] mining fleets that get bonuses from the many [[Orca]] pilots gathered there. This provides newer E-UNI miners with 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 amassed at the AMC resulting in, more or less, daily shared can mining fleet operations in addition to frequent Boost or [[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op#Types_of_Mining_Ops|Bring-Your-Own-Can (BYOC)]] operations.

The AMC represents a tremendous opportunity for newer E-UNI miners to make a great deal of ISK while learning valuable skills in the art of mining and fleet operations.
