==== AMC Buy-Back ==== | ==== AMC Buy-Back ==== | ||
If you are an AMC Miner or Fleet Commander that has run an operation or have simply been solo-mining but don't want to go through the hassle of hauling, refining and then selling the ore yourself then you’re in luck. As an AMC student, you are able to take advantage of the ‘Buy-Back’ program (details below). | |||
FOR MINERS: Miners that are selling their own stash of ore or minerals only need to create a spreadsheet per instructions below and email a link to the spreadsheet to Vger Starseed, Ubermensch Invictus, and Seranti Olerie for contract processing and payment. | |||
FOR COMMANDERS: After your fleet is over and you've input all of the names, ship type/roles, hours in/out, the share weights in the participation tab, and the ore amounts and prices in the Inventory tab - the spreadsheet will automatically calculate the total weighting of the hours worked for each participant and how much you owe them. Once you have followed the instructions below, please post the link to the Google Docs spreadsheet in the ‘Amarr Mining Camp Fleet Spreadsheet List’ forum thread. | |||
'''Spreadsheet Mechanics:''' | |||
*1. Go to the Inventory tab, put the ore amount, in units, that your fleet mined in column E. | |||
*2. Use the prices in this thread [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=52275&sid=c413a1601115540fd4062aec82d6edf4] above to fill in the values of the ores (column H). | |||
*3. You now have estimated values in ISK in column I for your ores, copy those values then paste them into column L. Just make sure it is ONLY the values you pasting, not the formulas. You can do this by right click the cell you want to paste into --> Paste Special --> Paste Values Only of the inventory tab. | |||
*4. In the inventory tab, Column L Row 1 (at the very top), you'll see the total ISK value of your ore; make a contract with all the ore, assign it to Bruce Industries and in the "I will pay" part of the contract, put 10,000 ISK while the "I will receive" part is the total value listed in Column L Row 1. Make sure you email Seranti Olerie and/or Vger Starseed to make sure they know that the contract was submitted. | |||
*5. Bruce Industries will accept the contract and send you a lot of ISK (at this time, I'd like to say strippers and coke = bad investment for all that ISK, so don't do it!). | |||
*6. There is no six, check your eyes again, they may have glazed over already (make sure to massage and stretch with deep, dramatic breaths). | |||
*7. You have two options for the modules that were salvaged, you can sell them at AMC or reprocess them yourself, don't worry you don't lose much, then place the amount of minerals you gained from them in the Inventory tab Column E Rows 4-11. If you sell the modules then you will put the amount in the Extra ISK tab, see next step. | |||
*8. Go to the Extra ISK tab and put in column A and B any income or expenses you had from rat loot/salvage, freighting, the contract, etc. | |||
*9. In the Participation tab, you will see Column M is now filled in with totals that you are to pay your fleet. These totals include the ISK you charged Bruce Industries, items you sold and expenses paid from the Extra ISK tab, and any minerals you have sold or will sell on your own. | |||
*10. In column P of the Participation tab, type in "y" or n" for yes and no if you have paid out the fleet members. You'd put 'n' for no if you have a character name misspelled or something similar. | |||
*11. Once you're done, post the spreadsheet of the fleet in this thread [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=52718&sid=c413a1601115540fd4062aec82d6edf4] for historical record, T2 Module Lottery purposes, and so the organizer's eyes don't bleed as we desperately look for all the spreadsheets. | |||

== FAQ == | == FAQ == | ||
*What is the AMC? - ''If you didn’t read the first section for whatever reason, here’s a quick run-down to what the AMC is: The Amarr Mining Camp is an organized group of Miners who have travelled down to Amarr Space to gain access to the better ores of the game. This allows us to make a higher income from mining than we would achieve if we were up in Aldrat (E-UNI HQ).'' | |||
*How do I join the AMC? - ''In short; you don't. The Amarr Mining Camp is running within EVE University. We follow all the same rules and guidelines as anyone else in the Uni. As such, you will not need to leave E-UNI to join us. Simply join our Chat Channel (Amarr Mining Camp - use the same password as other E-UNI channels) and ask if there is a fleet going, or start one yourself!'' | |||
*How do I start/join a fleet? - ''Please refer to the 'Participating in a Mining Op' and 'Running a Mining Op' Wiki page for information on these subjects. They will tell you everything you need to know.'' | |||
*Who do I talk to if I have a problem? - ''Feel free to ask any questions or direct any concerns to our 'Amarr Mining Camp' chat channel so one of our more experienced members can help you with your issue. However, if the question/concern is one you wish to keep privately or is unsuitable for standard E-UNI members, do not hesitate to contact: Ubermensch Invictus, Seranti Olerie or Vger Starseed. Each will be more than willing to assist you.'' | |||
*Do I need a specific ship to help with Mining Operations? - ''No, you don't. No matter what ship you're flying in, you can always jump straight into a fleet and help. You'll be just as useful as anyone else out there. The more, the merrier.'' | |||
*Do I need specific skills to run a Fleet? - ''Absolutely not! As Fleet Boss [Commander] all you need to run a fleet is a Spreadsheet (more information here) and people to mine/haul with. To start a fleet, just advertise it in chat and people will join you.'' | |||
