== '''Step 4:''' Understand Our Rules ==

*'''Read''': [[EVE University Rules|EVE University Rules~~]] & [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures~~]]

*'''Read''': [[EVE University Rules|EVE University Rules]]

*You are expected to read, understand, and follow all Rules at all times~~, and the WSOP when the university is at war~~.

*You are expected to read, understand, and follow all Rules at all times.

*You should also ensure that you are familiar with our [[Tips For War]].

== '''Step 5:''' Configuring the Ship Overview ==

Line 63:

*Configuring your overview to the University standard is a great learning process about your overview.

*University Standard Overviews are '''required''' for fleet operations.

*The other thing required for fleet operations is reading and understanding the [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]]

*You'll find our passwords under the alliances bulletins.

== '''Step 8~~:''' Coming to Aldrat ==~~

== '''Step 8:''' Review the Consolidated Information Page ==

*'''Moving In:''' Once you have settled in, a lot of Unistas tend to move into the Metropolis region, or Aldrat itself. You do not ''have'' to move here - you can usually attend classes from anywhere in the galaxy - however the corp hangars are located here and this is where most of our practical activities take place.

*Be mindful when travelling with cargo haulers - especially when moving through low security (0.1 - 0.4) and null security (0.0) systems.

*DO NOT go AFK at gates in such systems - they are very dangerous and there is a high likelihood you will lose your possessions.

*TIP: If you set 'Aldrat' as your Autopilot destination, you can adjust the Autopilot settings to avoid low and null security systems - while the journey may be a little longer, it will be a lot safer.  You can access Autopilot settings by opening your Map screen [F10] and then selecting the Autopilot tab > Settings.

*'''Wartime Hauling''' If you have decided that you really want to move to Aldrat then you must consider that hauling your stuff in will be very dangerous, especially once you reach Hek, and then into the "pipeline" to Aldrat. Many a new Unista have lost their assets moving through this area. It is highly recommended that you either wait (and just show up with a PvP fit frigate, don't worry, we'll supply you with stuff) or if you need you can find an OOC (Out of Corp) [[Creating_an_Alt_Hauler|hauling alt]] (many Unistas have hauling alts) to help you move stuff.

~~== '''Step 9~~:''' Review the Consolidated Information Page ==

*Please take the time to review the page: [[EVE University Consolidated Information]].

*It is meant to introduce you to the programs & information you'll need to get the most out of your time at the University.

== '''Step 10:''' Attend a Class==

== '''Step 9:''' Attend a Class==

* Take a look at our [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ Calendar] and plan to attend classes that you find interesting.

* Browse the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72 Class Forum Section] to read about upcoming classes that have not yet been scheduled, or to indicate your interest in a particular subject.

* Miss a class? EVE University records nearly every class and hosts it in our [[EVE University Class Library|Class Library]].

== '''Step 11:''' I feel lost, what do I do next? ==

== '''Step 10:''' I feel lost, what do I do next? ==

*You can ask any general questions in the Chat.E-Uni channel or the Q&A.E-Uni channel

*If you are looking for some specific help in a single or specialized area of game knowledge you may want to look into getting a Mentor through our [[Mentor Program]]

*Again, review the Consolidated Information Page (notice we plug that a lot on this page?) here: [[EVE University Consolidated Information]]

|Question= War? War? What does that mean to me?

|Answer= ~~When EVE University is at war we implememt a set of rules, guidelines and procedures known as the [[WSOP]].~~

|Answer=The basics are explained below:

The basics are explained below:

* '''What is a wardec?''' It means you can and will get shot in any system of any security level and anytime without repercussions.

* '''What are the uni wartime rules?''' In summary: Activities such as mining, missioning, exploring, ratting, and hauling can be risky. Be careful. More specifically, see ~~[[WSOP]] and~~ [[Tips For War]].

* '''What are the uni wartime rules?''' In summary: Activities such as mining, missioning, exploring, ratting, and hauling can be risky. Be careful. More specifically, see the [[Tips For War]].

* '''When can I undock?''' ~~WSOP states anytime~~ there is not a lockdown you may undock. If you want to be safe, it's recommended to check there are no wartargets in local, log into Mumble, and form in a fleet (even if just yourself) before you undock. Look at local chat member list to check for wartargets (Recognizable by the red background, white star icon). Monitor LiveIntel.ILN (check bulletins), heed and pay attention to Travel Advisories and ask in appropriate channels (Mess.ILN and in Mumble Combat Lounge) if it's safe for you to travel ~~to Aldrat~~. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.

* '''When can I undock?''' Anytime there is not a lockdown you may undock. If you want to be safe, it's recommended to check there are no wartargets in local, log into Mumble, and form in a fleet (even if just yourself) before you undock.

Monitor LiveIntel.ILN (check bulletins), heed and pay attention to Travel Advisories and ask in appropriate channels (Mess.ILN and in Mumble Combat Lounge) if it's safe for you to travel. Travel as fast as possible (warp to zero, no AFK/autopilot travelling!) and dock up instantly if you see a wartarget appear in local.

* '''What is a Travel Advisory?''' Management and ILN officers will often issue a "Travel Advisory", which means NOBODY should (they are not "orders" but being undocked solo and/or conducting PvE activities in the indicated areas is extremely dangerous) undock from any station or any system in EVE for the systems, areas, or regions indicated unless you are in/joining a combat fleet. DO NOT undock until you get orders from your Fleet Commander to undock from the specific station you are located in. Travel Advisories are usually posted in Alliance mail. Make sure you read your mails (both corp/alliance) when you log in to know if there's a Travel Advisory active at a given moment in time. "I missed the mail" is no excuse for losing your ship in an area under a Travel Advisory. Travel advisories expire after 1 hour.

* '''What is a Travel Advisory?''' See [[Travel Advisories]] for more information.}}

* '''Isn't that restictive?''' Yes, but this is designed to allow you to understand the risks involved in undocking solo and/or for PvE activity during wartime, and to minimize unnecessary losses to yourself. Rest assured that these rules have been developed over a period of seven years and are in your best interests!

* '''What happens if I break these rules?''' Our [[WSOP]] ~~does allow you a fair amount of flexibility and~~ for certain ship types, fits, and activities we let you determine your own risk understanding that should you suffer a loss that is contrary or violates other Must do's and don'ts to what's outlined in the [[WSOP]] then you can read what you can [[Student_Guidance_Department#I_screwed_up_with_the_WSOP.~~_What_can_I_expect.3F|expect here]].~~
