The purpose of this lottery is to give newer players a chance at acquiring T2 items while they gradually skill up and make enough ISK to get into bigger and better mining ships.

== ~~Suggestions for Ships and Fittings~~ ==

==Ship Restrictions==

Members of E-UNI are invited to bring along whatever ship they can fly. The AMC is constantly in demand for mining ships, industrial haulers, Orcas for boosting and hauling and freighters for freighting large quantities of ore/minerals to our ~~market hub~~. There are no restrictions on what ship types are allowed to participate, but there are ~~recommendation~~ for ship types and fitting strategies depending on a player's skill level.

The AMC is constantly in demand for mining ships, industrial haulers, Orcas for boosting and hauling and freighters for freighting large quantities of ore/minerals to our [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Trade_Hubs Trade Hub]. There are no restrictions on what ship types are allowed to participate, but there are [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/ORE_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide recommendations] for ship types and fitting strategies depending on a player's skill level.

Most beginner miners start off with a mining frigate (Bantam, Tormentor, Navitas, Burst) and for those that want to continue their interest in mining, they typically progress to the mining cruisers class (Osprey, Scythe, Vexor and Arbitrator) which are given out for free at the AMC. After the mining cruisers, the more casual miners will typically advance to flying Battlecruisers or Battleships for mining; those that are more committed to the career of mining will gradually work their way through the mining barges (Retriever-->Covetor) and then the Exhumers (Hulk). To maximize the use of these ships for mining fleets, it is highly recommended that newer players follow these general fitting principles/guidelines when fitting their ships:

*First: fit as many of the best Mining lasers/Strip Miners as you can into your high slots without breaking your bank.

*Second: fit as many of the best Mining Laser Upgrades (MLUs) as you can into your low slots without breaking your bank.

*Third: if you run out of CPU, try to fit a CPU Upgrade like the Co-Processor I to increase your CPU until you can fill out your low slots with MLUs.

*Last: Use your middle slots to fit a shield tank (i.e. Medium or Large Shield Extender I, Invulnerability Field I or the various shield resistance modules if your capacitor can remain stable with them on) and if possible, a Survey Scanner I.

*Drones: prioritize mining drones over light combat drones when in fleets and vice versa when mining solo; when in fleets, try to have 2 mining drones to every light combat drone (Hobgoblins preferred.)

The above deserves some clarification. If you for example have 3 Miner Is fitted to your ship and each time they all cycle, they fill up your cargo, then you have two options: 1. stagger the cycles so they each start at different times and in so doing, they don't fill up your cargo at the same time (which gives you time to jettison your cargo and put the ore in a can) OR 2. fit Cargohold Expander Is instead of Mining Laser Upgrade Is in your low slots to increase your cargo size.

Ideally, when it comes to fitting your ship, it will have a balance between protection and yield. When in a fleet - unless given specific instructions by the Fleet Commander as to who will bring what types of drones and what role they will play - it is generally advisable that you have 2 mining drones for every light combat drones; in a fleet of sufficient size, assuming a reasonable number of cruisers and mining barges/exhumers each packing 1-2 or more light combat drones, the firepower of the fleet will reach a point where they can collectively destroy any NPC threat; with this drone setup, the fleet can then focus their remaining drone bandwith on maximizing their yield by having two mining drones for every lighht combat drone.

These are of course only general guidelines (particularly for newer players) when in fleets and are subject to the Fleet Commander's orders/recommendations or personal preferences and experiences over how to fit your ship.

~~== Standard Free Mining Cruiser and Barge Fits ==~~

The following fits are extremely basic and assume that the pilot has very basic skills. Feel free to modify the ships after they are given to you; they are free to keep. If after you find them no longer useful and have moved onto bigger and better ships, feel free to donate them back for re-use.

== Recommendations from the AMC ==

Although the AMC is open to every E-UNI member~~, regardless of their age~~, there are certain recommendations to be made that will help improve ~~and maximize~~ your experience at the AMC. It is highly encouraged that one attends the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mining_101 Mining 101 Class] prior to or during their stay at the AMC so that they can familiarize themselves with the basics of mining (i.e. what modules and ships they will need to bring to the AMC and how they work).

Additionally, either prior to attending the AMC or while at the AMC, it is also highly encouraged that players devote their skilling to general industry skills (i.e. Mining, Mining Upgrades and the non-Industry Astrogeology skill), ship-specific skills to improve their mining capabilities (i.e. Racial Cruiser, Mining Barge) and leadership skills (i.e. Leadership) to optimize their mining yield and fleet experience.
