| − | ==AMC Mining Operations==
| |
| − | Every member of the AMC is encouraged to join any existing AMC mining operation or to plan an AMC mining operation as a Fleet Commander on their own. There is no need for special skills to run or join a mining operation. If you're planning to run a mining operation you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine and haul. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at the same time.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Most of the time AMC [[#Shared Can|Shared Can]] operations are announced on our Mailing List so everybody can see if it's possible to join the operation, often there are spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand.<br />
| |
| − | Frequently there are [[#Mining Booster Fleets (BYOC)|BYOCs]] running that you can join, ask in our chat channel to see if there is one running at the moment.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining capable ship fitted with mining lasers. Further you are able to use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate fitted to your fleet role. If you require a [[Venture]] or [[Mining_Barge#Mining_Barges|Mining Barge]] you can ask for a 2-week loan following the same rules as the Eve University [[Mining Loaner Fleet]] or purchase one at a reduced cost.

| |
| − | ===Bring Your Own Can (BYOC)===
| |
| − | A BYOC mining operation boosts your mining yield and mining laser range dependent on the boosters fitted and skills.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots and they don't receive anything from the AMC. It is courteous to thank the boosting pilot by tipping a part of the increased yield.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Shared Can===
| |
| − | Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander plans to have boosters and haulers available at the planed operation time. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they can afford the time. After the mining operation the ore is sold and split up between the members equally according to their attended time. The FC may choose to utilize the [[#AMC Buy-Back|AMC Buy-Back Service]] to sell the ore.

| − | ==Running an AMC Shared Can Mining Operation==
| |
| − | While running Amarr Mining Campus Shared Can Mining Operations please use the following rules and guidelines to run the operation smoothly.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In this section HH:MM should be replaced with the current eve server time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In Shared Can operations, the fleet commanders need to keep track of each person’s contribution.
| |
| − | In the AMC, this is measured by the time each member spent mining, hauling or boosting.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Any announcements whilst participating the mining operation must be written to the fleet chat.<br />
| |
| − | If you fail to announce your ON / OFF times you will not be properly paid due to be no record of you times.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Follow the simple steps below to ensure you get the correct payout for the fleet:
| |
| − | ===Miners===
| |
| − | While you are a member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding the ore and asteroid belts you're mining.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Please check before putting a mining laser on a new asteroid whilst mining to ensure that nobody is already mining from this asteroid (easiest way is ALT-Click - View).
| |
| − | ====Announcing start/end times====
| |
| − | '''LASERS ON HH:MM''' this is to be used when you start mining.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''LASERS OFF HH:MM''' this is to be used when you stop mining, or leave your computer for more than your Laser’s cycle time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When changing belts or re-targeting asteroids, you need not give a lasers off. Lasers off is only required for when you stop mining and the operation has not been ended.
| |
| − | ====Jet-Can Naming====
| |
| − | For Shared Can operations, you will be mining into jetcans, which the Haulers will collect to haul back to station.
| |
| − | Try to share a can with somebody when possible, but if there are none in reach then just create your own.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We have a naming scheme for jetcans, as follows:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''FLEET HH:MM''' this can is in use, and was jettisoned at the given time
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''FULL HH:MM''' this can is full to 27,500m3 or as near as possible. It will be picked up by a hauler. ''Do not change the time, only change the caption.'' The time is required to know when the can might expire.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''PULL HH:MM''' this can is not yet full, but is no longer being used, such as when you run out of asteroids to mine but haven't yet filled the can. It will be picked up by a hauler. ''Do not change the time, only change the caption.'' The time is required to know when the can might expire.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This may be subject to change following [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=233&t=72239 this poll]. Vote if you wish to see it change or remain the same.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Haulers===
| |
| − | While being member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding location the ore has to be hauled to.
| |
| − | ====Announcing start/end times====
| |
| − | '''HAULING ON HH:MM''' this is to be used when you start hauling.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''HAULING OFF HH:MM''' this is to be used when you stop hauling, or leave your computer for more then 2 minutes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While you are waiting for new cans to be full you do not need to announce '''HAULING OFF'''.
| |
| − | ====Contracting the ore====
| |
| − | At the end of the operation, or when you stop hauling, you need to contract all the ore you've hauled at the station to the fleet commander.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Boosters===
| |
| − | While you are a member of the mining operation you need to follow the announcements from the fleet commander regarding the system you're providing the boost in.
| |
| − | ====Announcing start/end times====
| |
| − | '''BOOST ON HH:MM''' this is to be used when you start boosting.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''BOOST OFF HH:MM''' this is to be used when you stop boosting, or leave your computer for more than your booster cycle time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Please only announce '''BOOST OFF''' when you're leaving the operation. While traveling between belts or systems the same rule as to all others apply.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If boosting on grid. Before moving to a new belt inform the fleet of you intention to move and at half you maximum velocity ask the fleet "cycle lasers". On entering warp announce to the fleet "in warp". Once your ship has landed on grid with the fleet activate your boosters and say "boosts back on" in mumble. This allows fleet members to cycle their lasers and avoid them loosing the yield from a failed cycle.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Scouts===
| |
| − | Running AMC mining operations while EVE University is at war we recommended you send out scouts to the nearby systems to watch for war targets.
| |
| − | If any war targets come near the mining operation the operation should dock up to be safe.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Commanders===
| |
| − | When you're planning to run a mining operation please prepare the necessary paperwork (Spreadsheet) and the MOTD before starting the fleet.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Spreadsheet====
| |
| − | As an AMC FC, it is required for you to keep track of your Fleet; recording each member's participation, share weights, amount of ore mined, prices of ore, etcetera. To save all the required information the AMC provides a Spreadsheet - namely the '[[AMC Buyback Spreadsheet]]'. Please make sure you're sharing the spreadsheet with "anyone with the link" as you will write this link to the MOTD.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It's not as hard as it sounds - it's actually pretty simple, so please do not be afraid of becoming a Fleet Commander because of the Spreadsheet business. If you ever get stuck, just ask around and there's bound to be someone who can give you a hand.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====MOTD (Message of the Day)====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When your Fleet is running, you have to create an MOTD (Message of the Day). You should place all required important information on the MOTD for the whole Fleet (especially new joiners) to see.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To set the MOTD follow these steps:
| |
| − | #Right-Click on the 'Fleet' Tab
| |
| − | #In the drop-down, select the 'Settings' option
| |
| − | #There should be an MOTD text box. This is where you type out your MOTD.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | MOTD Template:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Time Started: HH:MM
| |
| − | Estimated Time End: HH:MM
| |
| − | Location: (never publish the full system name)
