Wartime Operations in EVE University: Difference between revisions

It is important firstly that you know how to identify war targets. We would recommend reading our short page on [[Identifying war targets in Local]] which will help you set up your screen in a way that you can instantly see if there are any war targets in the system with you.

Systems which have a lot of pilots in will normally have a lot of war targets, both because there are a higher number of people in general and also because there are more targets for them to aggress. This means that [[trade hubs]] (especially Jita, Amarr, Dodixie and Rens) can be very dangerous and we recommend avoiding them at all times on your EVE University character. To enable you to have easy access to the market you may want to consider making another character on the same account to fly an industrial ship and haul things for you. If you leave that character in an NPC corp they will not be at war (though they will not be guaranteed to be safe, as mentioned above) so it will be safer to visit a trade hub. We have a page on [[Creating an Alt Hauler]] which will explain the process and the basic skills needed. Alternatively if you are based in the [[Hi Sec Campus|high sec]] or [[Null-Sec Campus|null sec]] communities you can make use of your ~~campus~~' freighter service to move things from a trade hub for you for free. See the ~~campus~~ wiki pages for more information.

=== Choosing what to fly ===

Line 53:

* Mining ships are often targeted as they are usually unable to defend themselves. It is advisable to fit any mining ships with some [[Tanking|tank]] and if possible to mine where there are other people around to look out for you, such as in our [[Averon Mining Campus]].

* Hauling ships are also targeted often by war targets, and as hauling is normally a solo activity which often involved visiting trade hubs, it is advisable not to haul on any character which is a member of EVE University. As above, consider creating an alt to haul for you, or using our ~~campus~~ hauling service.

As above, consider creating an alt to haul for you, or using our community hauling service.

When deciding what ship to fly, consider what you will be doing. If you will be traveling it is sensible to fly a fast ship, like a [[Frigates#Fast Frigates|fast frigate]], or alternatively a cheap ship like a [[Shuttles|shuttle]] or [[Corvettes|corvette]]. This gives you the best chance to avoid being targeted, and reduces your ISK lost if you do lose your ship. It is advisable not to travel in a [[capsule]], because they are too easy to kill and also would mean you lose any [[implants]] you are using.

Line 73:

War is not just about avoiding combat at all costs; it gives plenty of opportunity for combat. The type of combat will depend very much on the corporation we are at war with, but they are not invulnerable if the right tactics are used.

You can be useful in PvP combat even with minimal skills. If you are a new player then you can fill a role as a [[Tackling|tackler]] or in [[Electronic warfare|electronic warfare (EWAR)]] with very little training. You can even obtain the hull and modules you need to fly a tackle or EWAR frigate from our [[EVE University Corporate Hangars|hangars]]. If you do not have the [[Titles within EVE University#Freshman|Freshman]] title yet, ask someone in your ~~campus~~ chat channel to get something out of the hangars for you. Many communities also have these frigates available on contract for ease of use.

You can find fittings for ships in various places, for example [[Archive:Fleet-Up|Fleet up]] and the [[Template:ShipsMatrix|EVE University wiki]]. It's worth reading up on EVE University's [[Ship Replacement Program]] while you are fitting your ship, so that if you lose it you can claim reimbursement for it.
