Ship Replacement Program

This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently. For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

Template:Member Services The Ship Replacement Program (SRP) is an initiative of Eve University to encourage participation in combat fleets. The program is intended to both help new pilots get into PvP and to promote the use of important hulls that benefit the entire fleet.

Ship Replacement Program request forms

When is a loss covered?

To be eligible for reimbursement, all losses must meet all of the following criteria:

• Happened in an EVE University PvP fleet against another corporation
• Had a reasonable PvP fitting and shows reasonable effort. Check with your FC if you are unsure about your fit.
• Submitted kills can not be older than 1 month
• Request includes sufficient comment to allow SRP staff to understand what happened. A single line comment will be denied. Two or three lines are ideal.
• Is not in violation of EVE University Rules

Please note ships that are taken from any of the E-UNI hangars, or handed out for free during E-UNI fleets are not eligible for SRP

Pilots should have the necessary skills to fly the hull well. This is typically 4 or higher in the ship specific skill. Note that further fitting restrictions will apply for more advanced or expensive hulls. See below for specific requirements.

How is the ISK value for reimbursement determined?

E-UNI is a corporation dedicated to teaching EVE mechanics to capsuleers of all skill levels while promoting community-centric content which often take the form of fleets. In order to make the entrance barrier for this as low as possible, we grant our members the privilige of using our SRP program. With this program capsuleers need to worry less about the financial side of undocking a ship so they can focus more on learning new things and having fun. At the same time, we still want to hold true to the EVE cornerstone of losses having an impact on your life as a capsuleer. Therefore, with a few exceptions, SRP will not cover the full loss of your spaceship.

The way we determine our SRP amount is by taking the following factors into account:

• Net loss of a ship hull after platinum insurance
• Value of the average viable ship fittings, or a percentage of that
• Inclusiveness value (ships for newer capsuleers are typically reimbursed at a higher rate)
• What is sustainable for E-UNI financially

Please do note that SRP amounts or the supported ships might change at any time without prior notice. It's good to submit your requests in the hours after the loss happens to prevent this.

How do I request reimbursement?

1. Verify that the loss meets the above criteria.
2. Fill out this form.
3. Be patient. Your request will be processed when a reimbursement officer is available to do it.

Please note: Always supply your full name as it appears in game. If you are requesting reimbursement, you must provide the URL of the specific loss on zKillboard. Do NOT paste the actual killmail, in-game kill report, your pilot details, other killboards or whatever happened to be in your clipboard at the time into the form.

FAQ

What does a “PvP fleet against another corporation” mean?

• The fleet must have a designated FC and its purpose must be PvP combat.
• You must be operating as part of the fleet, following the FC’s orders.
• In-corp losses are not covered by the SRP.
• Fight Club events are an exception.
• Specific examples:
  • Solo losses are not reimbursable.
  • Doing your own thing, while technically fleeted, is not reimbursable.
  • Getting jumped while running a PvE fleet is not reimbursable.
  • Events and in-corp sparring are not reimbursable.

How do you define a “reasonable PvP fitting”?

• Not an obvious PvE fit.
• Not an obvious comedy fit.
• Not an obvious collection of whatever modules you happened to have lying around.
• No empty slots without an obvious good reason.
• Basically, if the fit has any chance at all of doing its intended job, you’re in good shape.

What constitutes “reasonable effort”?

• You don’t have to win, but you have to give it your best shot.
• Specifically, intentional chain suicides, comedy fleets, drunk roams, AFK losses and deliberate acts of monumental stupidity may be grounds to reject a reimbursement request. Each case is evaluated separately by the officer processing the request, so please provide sufficiently detailed comments on all losses.
• Please note this in no way reflects management's views of the above; it simply means the University will not pay for them.

What does a “sufficient” comment mean?

• At minimum, a comment must explain the situation which led to the loss.
• For purposes of the SRP, this means that a comment should cover three basic elements:

1. What was the fleet doing?
2. What happened in the engagement?
3. Why was your specific ship lost?

I submitted a request several days ago. Why haven’t I heard anything?

• Are you a member of EVE University or other IVY League member corporation? If not, your request has been rejected.
• Did you type your full character name exactly as it appears in game? If not, we may not have been able to find you.
• Also, please remember the program is entirely run by volunteers who give up their game time to provide this service. Sometimes it may take up to a week for someone to be available (and docked in a delivery station, in case of replacement hulls) with enough time on their hands to clear any backlog we may have accumulated.

Who can I contact if I have a question?

• A current list of active Reimbursement staff is available on the Reimbursement Department page.
• For policy clarifications, please contact the Reimbursement Manager or your campus SRP Managers.
