 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.  You can read up on what to expect here:  [[Wartime Operations in 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.
+In the past, EVE University had a set of Wartime Standard Operating Procedures which restricted the ships members were able to fly. These were relaxed and eventually phased out, although we do still provide [[Tips For War]] which you should ensure you are familiar with before joining.
 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.

 Hauling is a very bad idea on your EVE University character while we are at war, certainly in or around trade hubs. We would strongly recommend that you consider [[Creating_an_Alt_Hauler|Creating a Hauler Alt]] outside of the corporation to move your possessions around for you while you are in EVE University. Trade hubs are a popular target area for war targets, as members visiting trade hubs are not normally expecting or fit for combat. Therefore we recommend you avoid trade hubs with your EVE University character while we are war.
-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 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.
+You may want to set up a [[Jump Clones|jump clone]] if you have not already done so. This may not seem like something that will be useful to you as a new player, but as a member it can be very useful and allow you to jump between campuses, and avoid losing expensive implants on fleets.  EVE University does have facilities for members to create jump clones. However, if you'd like to set up jump clones before joining, you do this by joining [https://gate.eveonline.com/Corporation/Estel%20Arador%20Corp%20Services| Estel Arador Corp Services].  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.
 As always in EVE Online, it is important to only fly what you can afford to lose.
