|Answer= If your standings with an empire faction go below -5, you will not be able to enter their space without being shot.

Hello & Welcome to Eve University!
By joining EVE Online's premier learning institution, you have taken one of the many steps to becoming successful in New Eden.
Your First Steps in Eve University
These important first steps should not be ignored by new University pilots, and should be completed as soon as possible.
First: A reminder about our chat channels and their uses
- "Corp" chat tab is used to request TeamSpeack access, skillbook reimbursement, hangar requests, etc. This is also where questions about Uni policies or clarifications about where to ask should go.
- "Alliance" chat tab is for fleet formation. You should only be typining in Alliance to form or join a fleet. To understand how fleets are formed in alliance please read The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops.
If you still have questions please ask them in corp chat.
- Chat.e-uni is the general chat channel for the UNI. Questions about fleets, fleet formation or Wartime SOP should not be asked there but should instead be asked in corp chat.
- Other channels can be found here Chat Channels and Mailing Lists.
Step 1: Bookmark these Pages
- Bookmark these sites for future reference in the In-Game Browser (IGB) or your favorite browser.
Step 2: Register for Forum Access
