Line 91:

The basics are explained below:

* '''What is a wardec?''' It means you can and will get shot in any system of any security level and anytime without repercussions.

* '''What are the uni wartime rules?''' In summary: No mining, no hauling~~, no~~ solo ~~missioning~~, ~~no ratting~~. More specifically, see [[WSOP]].

* '''What are the uni wartime rules?''' In summary: PvE activities can be very risky such as mining, missioning, exploring, ratting, and hauling can be very risky. Avoid solo activity, or consider using alts. More specifically, see [[WSOP]].

* '''When can I undock?''' Basic rule: If ~~there's no lockdown and~~ there are no wartargets in local you can undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). ~~Contact an intel coordinator~~ (check bulletins) and ask if it's safe for you to travel to Aldrat. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.

* '''When can I undock?''' Basic rule: If there are no wartargets in local, and you are logged into Mumble and in a fleet (even if just yourself) you can undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). Monitor LiveIntel.ILN (check bulletins), heed and pay attention to Travel Advisories and ask in appropriate channels (Mess.ILN and in Mumble Combat Lounge) if it's safe for you to travel to Aldrat. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.

* '''What is a ~~lockdown~~?''' ILN officers ~~ranked Captain or higher have the ability to order~~ a "~~lockdown~~", which means NOBODY is ~~allowed to~~ undock from any station or any system in Eve unless you ~~have permission or~~ are in/joining a combat fleet. DO NOT undock until you get orders from your Fleet Commander to undock from the specific station you are located in. ~~Lockdowns~~ are usually posted in Alliance mail. Make sure you read your mails (both corp/alliance) when you log in to know if there's a ~~lockdown~~ active at a given moment in time. "I missed the mail" is no excuse for losing your ship ~~during~~ a ~~lockdown~~.

* '''What is a Travel Advisory?''' Management and ILN officers will often issue a "Travel Advisory", which means NOBODY should (they are not "orders" but being undocked solo and/or conducting PvE activities in the indicated areas is extremely dangerous) undock from any station or any system in Eve for the systems, areas, or regions indicated unless you are in/joining a combat fleet. DO NOT undock until you get orders from your Fleet Commander to undock from the specific station you are located in. Travel Advisories are usually posted in Alliance mail. Make sure you read your mails (both corp/alliance) when you log in to know if there's a Travel Advisory active at a given moment in time. "I missed the mail" is no excuse for losing your ship in an area under a Travel Advisory.

* '''Isn't that ~~boring~~?''' Yes, in ~~most cases war~~ and ~~lockdowns are boring~~ and ~~you might be in station for quite a long time without doing anything~~. Rest assured that these rules have been developed over a period of ~~five~~ years and are in your best interests!

* '''Isn't that restictive?''' Yes, but this is designed to allow you to understand the risks involved in undocking solo and/or for PvE activity during wartime, and to minimize unnecessary losses to yourself. Rest assured that these rules have been developed over a period of seven years and are in your best interests!

* '''What happens if I break these rules?''' ~~Depending on what~~ you ~~did~~ you~~'ll get either~~ a ~~very unpleasant conversation with a director~~ or ~~just be kicked from~~ the ~~Uni for the duration of the war~~.

* '''What happens if I break these rules?''' Our [[WSOP]] does allow you a fair amount of flexibility and for certain ship types, fits, and activities we let you determine your own risk understanding that should you suffer a loss that is contrary or violate other Must do's and don'ts to what's outlined in the [[WSOP]] then you can read what you can [[Student_Relations_Department#I_screwed_up_with_the_WSOP._What_can_I_expect.3F|expect here]].
