Ship Replacement Program

Template:Member Services The Ship Replacement Program (SRP) is a joint initiative of the Logistics Division, LSC (Lowsec Campus), NSC (Nullsec Campus) and WHC (Wormhole Campus) 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.

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
• Shows reasonable effort
• Is properly commented on the E-UNI Killboard (see How to post a Killmail)
• Is not in violation of EVE University Rules.

Note that further fitting restrictions will apply for more advanced or expensive hulls. See below for specific requirements.

What ships are covered?

All T1 frigates, destroyers and cruisers are covered for a full hull replacement. You may also request a T1 cruiser to use for fleet operations if you cannot yet afford one yourself. You can choose to have the replacement hull contracted to you at:

• Slays VII - Center for Advanced Studies School
• Uphallant III - Federation Navy Testing Facilities
• PC9-AY III - Intaki Commerce Trading Post

Coverage for T2 and specialized hulls varies according to the specific needs of the campus where the loss happened. Logistics reimbursements apply to all losses including campus fleets. If a campus SRP does not specifically mention these hulls, they will be reimbursed at the Logistics program base rate.

To be eligible for reimbursement, a loss must have happened on a campus QRF/roam (requires an NSC AAR).

$ meta versions are permitted purely to resolve PG/CPU fitting issues, not as a means to bypass skill requirements for the T2 versions

• Doctrine Specific SRP.
  This is for major doctrine ships which do not fall under either NSC SRP or Uni SRP as it currently stands. This will be adapted depending on the current Doctrines in use, and may only be Updated by the NSC Manager. These ships must be fit to doctrine, with only the guns and drones allowed to be downgraded due to skills requirements (e.g., having meta 4 guns or launchers instead of Tech II). Current hulls under this.
  • Sentry VNI (70M)
  • Cruise Phoon (100M) - both Typhoons and Scorpions are covered

WHC

To be eligible for reimbursement, a loss must have happened in a w-space system in the campus mapper chain or in a k-space system immediately adjacent to the w-space chain. Losses from lowsec and nullsec roams originating from the campus are not covered by the WHC SRP but may be covered by the general Uni Logistics Department SRP. Listed amounts include EVE University base SRP contribution.

Specific requirements by hull are listed below, but some basic principles apply to all of them. All ships must be PVP fit; this means buffer tanked with appropriate tackle modules. To be clear, the only ship on this list that shouldn't have at least one 1600mm plate or LSE is the hero tackle CovOps. Self-rep ships (either DPS or logi) are generally not eligible for reimbursement. Please refer to the WHC Fleet-up page for fitting guidance.

Site running fleets

Given the mixed PVE/PVP nature of wormhole space, the programme does extend to losses from ambushes (from other players) while site running. However, in order to be eligible the site running fleet must:

• Have a designated FC.
• Be fully PVP fit.
• Have sufficient logistics appropriate to the value of the fleet (i.e., T2 logi if T2/T3 ships are fielded).

Reimbursements for losses which occur in this context require an AAR which sufficiently describes the circumstances.

How do I request reimbursement?

1. Verify that the loss meets the above criteria.
2. If requesting a frigate, check the hangar first. If you do not have hangar access yet, ask in the Corp channel. This is much faster and you can also request any necessary modules.
3. If requesting a hull replacement (most T1 ships), fill out this form.
4. If requesting a partial reimbursement (most T2 ships), fill out this form.
5. 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 a replacement or reimbursement (not a new ship) you must provide the URL of the specific loss on the EVE University killboard. Do NOT paste the actual killmail, in-game kill report, your pilot details, external 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.
• 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 views of the above; it simply means the University will not pay for them.

What does “Properly” commented mean?

• At minimum, a comment must explain the situation which led to the loss. This is required by EVE University Rules and failure to do so may not only lead to your request being rejected but could affect your ability to earn titles.
• For purposes of the SRP, this means that a comment should cover three elements:

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

• Preferably, each comment should show an understanding of how the fight developed and any learning points you took away from the loss.

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 Reimbursements staff is available on the Logistics Division Wiki page.
• For policy clarifications, please contact the Reimbursement Manager or your campus SRP Managers.
