It has excellent standings with a large number of NPC corporations, and it accepts all recruits for just a few days so that they can install jump clones and then leave the corporation. Anyone joining EACS is responsible for acquiring their own copy of the {{sk|Infomorph Psychology|icon=yes}} skillbook and paying the 100,000 ISK jump clone installation fee, but the service is otherwise free. | ||

Note that there are two minor dangers you should be aware of when using EACS' services. It is recommended that you keep an eye on the local chat channel, and travel in fast, hard-to-catch ships (shuttles or fast frigates). | Note that there are two minor dangers you should be aware of when using EACS' services.

However, as EACS offers jump clone services in a large number of places (over 1000 stations all over New eden), the odds of being caught by a war target is fairly small. | ||
:You can check the war status of EACS before joining. Open the "People and Places" window, search for "Estel Arador Corp Services" and open their info window from the search results. Open the "War History" tab. If there is a war with a "Started" date and no "Finished" date, then they are at war and you should be cautious. | :You can check the war status of EACS before joining.

:Another possible hazard (mentioned in EACS' forum posting) is that their service is open to everyone, nice and not-so-nice alike. Because it is legal for members of the same corporation to shoot each other at any time, anywhere, it is perfectly legal for another capsuleer who is a member of EACS to blow you up if they manage to catch you. Again, given the size of New Eden you're very unlikely to be caught, but stay alert. | :Another possible hazard (mentioned in EACS' forum posting) is that their service is open to everyone, nice and not-so-nice alike.
