==Corporations are not Guilds.==
EVE Corporations have access to a tremendous range of resources. They can create offices at stations, declare war on other corporations, organize various kinds of fleets, and generally make life easier for their members. E-UNI will [[Corporation_Hangar|give you some of the gear you need]] to get started for free, and sell you other gear at cost. Some corporations focus on combat, others focus on mining and industry, others have no real focus at all – E-UNI is focused on helping new players get the experience and gear they need to be successful in the game ... so please search out what E-UNI has to offer; and make use of it.

EVE Corporations have access to a tremendous range of resources. They can create offices at stations, and use these to provide services to their members. Each E-UNI office, for example, has a [[Hangars|hangar]] into which members can donate gear for other members to use, and another set of hangars from which members can take certain kinds of free gear. E-UNI will also [[Ship_Replacement_Program|replace your ship]] if it is destroyed in certain kinds of activities. The corporation will sell you ships and gear at a lower cost than the market. And it will [[Skillbook_Program|fully reimburse you]] for the cost of the "books" that you need to start learning a new skill.
Corporations can declare war on other corporations, thus removing the police restriction on fighting in high-security solar systems. They can organize various kinds of fleets, including [[Mining#Cooperative_mining|mining fleets]] which make it easier and safer for members to mine large amounts of ore.
Because corporations have access to so many important resources, and because they can provide fleets to help protect their members, EVE is a very difficult game to play "solo". You may leave E-UNI at any time, but you will almost certainly be moving on to a new corporation.
'''THE BOTTOM LINE:''' Take the time to learn about E-UNI's policies for reimbursing your expenses, and ask about how to find the campus hangar that contains free items that any new member can use. And as you gain experience, if you find E-UNI restrictive, don't feel bad about finding yourself another corporation.  [[#Corporations are not Guilds.|(BACK)]]
