During war, [[EVE University]] and Ivy League uses a strict set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), typically referred to as the "War SOP".

This counts for your characters in E-UNI; for those not in corp, it doesn't count.

Combat fleets are three or more combat fitted ships, who are engaging war-targets, or hostiles in [[LowSec]] and [[NullSec]].

Travelling is moving with no cargo (opposed to hauling) and is only allowed in [[Tackle Frigates]], [[Shuttles]] and [[Starter Frigate]]s. There is no requirement that you must travel toward HQ.

There are a number of restrictions on what ships you are allowed to fly during wars. If you want to fly one of these ships, then you must receive written permission from the [[Fleet Admiral]] or [[CEO]]

This is any ship which can fit a [[Covert Ops Cloak]], such as:

* [[Covert Ops Frigate]]s

Individual certifications will be available from the [[ILN]].

* [[Command Ship]]s

* [[Marauder]]s

* [[Black Ops]]

* [[Strategic Cruiser]]s

This is any ship which has a bonus to [[Mining Laser|mining ''laser'']]s, such as:

* [[Mining Frigate]]s

The only exception to this is the [[Osprey]] as it can be used as simple and cheap Tech 1 Logistics ship.

This is any ship which is designed to move large amounts of cargo around, such as:

* [[Industrial]]s

* [[Capital Industrial]]s

* Any ship with 'Issue' in the Name.

* Any 'Pirate' faction ship.

* Any ship listed in the 'Faction' subsection on the Market

This is any ship which has been seeded by [[CCP]], and the blueprints are not available for, such as:

* [[Apotheosis]]

* ... and various others.

This is any ship which requires a jump drive to move around, such as [[Dreadnought]]s and [[Carrier]]s.

== You must fit... ==

This depends greatly on the ship, but means no Mining lasers, cargo expanders or exploration modules, with a [[Buffer Tank]]. For appropriate fittings, [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=129 see the forum].

This means using faction ammo where you can as the extra damage is worth the money, but if you cant afford it, thats ok. Remember you don't need to fill your cargo, no matter what the ammo - you need only take one or two reloads on most fleets.

This is any module with a [[Meta Level]] above 5.

This means your tanking modules are mainly Tech 2, such as Hardeners, Extenders, Plates and so on. There are some exceptions to this where the Meta 4 module has better statistics, and is cheaper or easier to fit, but in all cases you must have the skills to fit the modules individually.

This should go without saying, but it means the modules on your ship should not cost massively more than the value of the hull. Tackle frigates are fit cheaply and disposably, and module cost scales with the cost of the hull.

* No rigs on [[Frigate]]s or [[Destroyer]]s

* Optional rigs on [[Cruiser]]s

== You must ''always''... ==

You don't have to be able to speak, just to listen. This counts for travelling as well as fleets.

[[Operational Security]] is very important in a group the size of [[EVE University]] which has recruiting this open.

Check it before you undock, and keep checking it whenever you are in space. Hostiles may appear at any moment.

If not in a fleet and you see a War-Target in space then dock up, otherwise the fleet should be killing them.

These are prime hunting grounds for most wartargets, and will often have war-targets or their alts present. Avoid them wherever possible, and use Trade skills for station trading there if you must.

== You must ''never''... ==

Apart from a "GF" (good fight) in local, we use our guns to communicate with war targets. Only Directors are allowed to talk to them, so just ignore them and report any attempts to contact you, and report their attempts to the [[Director of Public Relations]] or another [[Director]].

This rule includes any alts and those who have left E-UNI for the duration of the war and expect to return.

Apart from using it to plot a course and highlight gates, it must never be used to actually fly your ship. All manoeuvres must be done manually.

Mining leads to sitting still for ages, not really paying attention, and is the ideal way to trade your ship for a cluster of twisted metal. Mining in exploration sites, mission spaces or even in wormholes is not allowed.

A massive percentage of our war-targets declare war on E-UNI specifically to kill people hauling items. This means moving anything in your cargo other than ammo, charges or modules to swap out with current fit.

This includes any mission which requires you to move items, such as Distribution or Mining and includes Epic Arc missions. Missions which require you to kill NPCs, such as Security Missions, may ''only'' be run during the [[Relaxed SOP]].

This means [[Exploration|exploration sites]], [[COSMOS]], [[Static Complex|static complexes]], or [[Incursion]]s. Exploration sites are allowed '''only''' in wormhole space.

Never leave your ship unattended when in space. Always dock up if you have to leave. Even if you are cloaked.
