* [[FC_Guide|FC Fleets]] - I don't have a lot of predictable 3 hour blocks I can set aside.

* Show [http://killfeed.eveuniversity.org/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=82378 killboard] activity with other unistas - Maybe eventually I'll have enough. So far I've only been on 4 fleets, which I think is a huge amount for someone with my level of free time. They all take an hour before you can even get started, and are hit and miss if you kill anything at all.

I originally wanted to play [[Guide_to_Logistics|logi]] in fleets, but I will put a hold on that until I have the [[Titles#Sophomore|sophomore title]]. I can't waste opportunities to get the KB stats the Uni wants by doing something like that. My first [[Guide_to_Logistics|logi]] attempt no one could answer how the FCs add us to the killmails, and no [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=186 AAR] was written, so there was nothing to comment on. I did comment on the kills, though. I'll pick up [[Guide_to_Logistics|logi]] once I've checked the KB stats box. I also participated in a few fleets where we had no kills, unfortunately, so those don't count. | ||
* References - I talk in chat a lot, but I'm shy. Anyone who isn't new is on mumble, and I'm not going to be on mumble if I'm not doing fleets. Not my thing.

If you've made it this far, you'll have picked up that I'm a bit grumpy :) I'm extremely shy, and would not normally post a "journal" but it's a last ditch effort, and the only real way for me to do that is to do it without much editing. Otherwise, I'd spend so much time worrying about it, that I'd never finish it. I've spent 6 hours on this one already :) | If you've made it this far, you'll have picked up that I'm a bit grumpy :) I'm extremely shy, and would not normally post a "journal" but it's a last ditch effort, and the only real way for me to do that is to do it without much editing.

With all of that said, why the "/Guide?" tacked on at the end? Well, it could be a guide. If you want to know how to do things right, do the exact opposite of everything I do :) I don't plan to say that I'm doing things the right way. I'm just doing them my way. It'll give people an idea of what a specific type of playstyle is like. | |||

The sophomore title is required for hanger access and the ability to edit corp bookmarks mostly. I've haven't used the corp hangers since I've been back, so I can't actually remember which ones are which, but that's the idea. It's not a big deal not having it at most campuses because someone of that level or higher is likely around that can assist you. This creates a system where people can still have all of the access they need, but abuse is checked by having more valuable items given out by hand. Possible corp losses are minimized, without a real impact on availability. | The [[Titles#Sophomore|sophomore title]] is required for hanger access and the ability to edit corp bookmarks mostly.

In E-Uni, other than an occasional fleet called noobs night in the hole, or being invited into the wormhole campus for a day trip if they want to use you as bait, you need the sophomore title to learn much about wormholes. Additionally, the other options don't teach you to live in wormhole space, only visit. | In E-Uni, other than an occasional fleet called noobs night in the hole, or being invited into the [[Wormhole Campus|wormhole campus]] for a day trip if they want to use you as bait, you need the [[Titles#Sophomore|sophomore title]] to learn much about [[wormholes]].

* http://www.eve-scout.com/signal-cartel/ - So signal cartel is pretty interesting. You get a lot of support for living out of [[Thera]]. The downside is PVP is looked down on. If you're ever on the killboard, you have to explain that you were defending yourself. Kind of blame the victim in my eyes, but they're dead set on neutrality. It means a lot of people treat them as blues right back. Very pointedly newbie friendly. | * http://www.eve-scout.com/signal-cartel/ - So signal cartel is pretty interesting.

They are more of a community with a common theme. They spend their time doing exploration, scouting wormholes to track people down as a paid service, locating types of wormholes for people. They claim to be able to track down any corp or a wormhole that meets your requests in a matter of days. They claim to scan every wspace system every 6 days. It's mostly PVP focused. You're delivering torpedoes to peoples faces. Drone party packages tend to be pre-armed. Stealth bombers, stratioses, and small stealth hunter types. | * http://www.torpedodelivery.com/careers/ - The CEO is hilarious. [https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/Chance%20Ravinne Chance Ravine].
