An unfortunate reality of life in the AMC and of mining in general is that, generally speaking, miners make easy targets. The majority of ships that are used in both solo and fleet mining operations simply cannot withstand the DPS that a well flown, well fitted combat ship can put out. Once tackled, it is usually just a matter of time before the attacker is able to burn through the defences of even a well-tanked mining ship. This often means miners end up on the wrong end of a killmail. | An unfortunate reality of life in the AMC and of mining in general is that, generally speaking, miners make easy targets.

[[EVE University]] often finds itself at war with various player corporations. Despite our best efforts, some of these corporations are aware of the location of the AMC, and during times of war unexpected visits from war targets are not uncommon. | |||

The AMC discourages engaging war targets in open combat, as doing so often encourages more frequent enemy visits to the AMC area. The AMC officers instead recommend that all members of the AMC be capable of defending themselves and, if they wish to do so, their corpmates, using [[Electronic Countermeasures]] (ECM). | |||
