EVE University will always be an attractive target for corporations who wish to fight new players. However, being in a constant state of war can make it more difficult for us to teach our members the basics of EVE Online. For this reason, we have rules in place to discourage corporations from declaring war on us.
EVE University will always be an attractive target for corporations who wish to fight new players. However, being in a constant state of war can make it more difficult for us to teach our members the basics of EVE Online. For this reason, we have guidelines in place to assist our members to better survive and enjoy their time in EVE University while at war.


The main basis of these rules is the [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures]]. If you are an inexperienced player, these should not overly restrict the ships you are able to fly or the activities you are able to do. If you have slightly more experience, you may find these rules more restrictive until you have the appropriate title within EVE University.
The main focus of these guidelines is the [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures]]. If you are an inexperienced player, you will find the guidelines and advice offered very helpful and allow you to enjoy wartime while mitigating your risks during wartime. In the past, EVE University maintained the WSOP as a set of very restrictive rules, but there were relaxed and eventually phased out as the both the game mechanics changed and the scope of what EVE University does grew.


Our classes, events and fleets still carry on while EVE University is at war. Unfortunately we are sometimes unable to carry out some of the more practical exercises if there are war targets nearby.

If you are interested in learning PVP combat war should give you plenty of opportunity to improve and test your skills. You can lend a hand to the war effort immediately in a T1 ship in a role such as tackling or EWAR. Our campuses are always welcoming for inexperienced players who wish to learn PVP combat: [[LSC|Low sec campus]], [[NSC|Null sec campus]], [[WHC|Wormhole campus]].

If your interests are in PVE you may find war restricts some of your activities such as mining, missioning, planetary interaction etc. For this reason we suggest that before you apply to EVE University you set up a base camp somewhere far away from our home system of Aldrat, and ideally away from any trade hubs (Jita, Amarr, Dodixie and Rens). This should allow you to carry our your PVE activities in relative peace away from most of the war target activity. Always pay attention and do not mine while you are AFK or you may risk losing your ship. We do have PVE focused campuses, such as the [[AMC|Amarr Mining Campus]] and [[Solitude]] where you can join other members of EVE University.
If your interests are in PVE you may find war creates a fair amount of risk towards some of your activities such as mining, missioning, planetary interaction etc. For this reason we suggest that before you apply to EVE University you set up a base camp somewhere far away from our home system of Aldrat, and ideally away from any trade hubs (Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Rens, and even Hek). This should allow you to carry our your PVE activities in relative peace away from most of the war target activity. Always pay attention and do not mine while you are AFK or you may risk losing your ship. We do have PVE focused campuses, such as the [[AMC|Amarr Mining Campus]] and [[Solitude]] where you can join other members of EVE University.  You will want to set up a [[Jump Clones|jump clone]] if you have not already done so.  We recommend you do this by joining [https://gate.eveonline.com/Corporation/Estel%20Arador%20Corp%20Services|Estel Arador Corp Services] to do so.  You most likely will not have the standings to be able to do this on your own.  You simply need to purchase the Infomorph Psychology skillbook (1 million ISK from NPC corp sell orders) and you pay 100,000 ISK per jump clone that you install. This will give you a lot of flexibility and the means to "jump" your "self" (not ships) to and from stations without having to travel through space.


As always in EVE Online, it is important to only fly what you can afford to lose.
