* '''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 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 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 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?''' 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 violates other Must do's and don'ts to what's outlined in the [[WSOP]] then you can read what you can [[Student_Guidance_Department#I_screwed_up_with_the_WSOP._What_can_I_expect.3F|expect here]].

|Question= Apparently I should get a 'jump clone'. What are they, and where can I get them?
|Question= Apparently I should get a 'jump clone'. What are they, and where can I get them?
|Answer= All pilots in Eve have a 'medical clone' which acts as a 'respawn point' when your capsule or 'pod' is destroyed.
|Answer= All pilots in EVE have a 'medical clone' which acts as a 'respawn point' when your capsule or 'pod' is destroyed.


There is a second type of clone you may purchase, known as a jump clone, which is a spare body for your pilot where, when docked, you can 'jump' your consciousness into the jump clone, wherever it is in Eve, and then use it as you would your previous body. Your previous body then becomes a jump clone which you can return to in the same way.

|Question= Should I join the militia?
|Answer= The Advanced Warfare tutorial gives a Letter of Recommendation which new players can use to join the militia without having to grind standings. However, if you join the NPC militia, or any other player-run Faction Warfare corporation, you will no longer be a member of Eve University.
