You may think that you need more skillpoints before you are ready to go on a fleet, but this is not the case. EVE University is a corp with hundreds of brand new players, and our fleet commanders will be prepared for inexperienced fleet members.

Some fleets will have a 'doctrine' meaning only certain ship fittings are permitted, whereas some will be 'kitchen sink' meaning you are free to fly whatever you like (providing the fleet commander allows it).

As with classes and events, there is no need to RSVP. If you are a little nervous, make sure you are at the starting destination a little bit early and ask any questions in the our chat channels in game. Our other members will be more than willing to help you out. | |||
