Rules and Guidelines

In addition to the EVE University Rules, the following community-specific guidelines apply:

General

• Fly only what you can afford to lose.

• Members undocked in and around the community are highly encouraged to be in the Standing Fleet or special purpose fleet for their safety and the safety of other community members.
  • Only members of EVE University or the alts of members of EVE University are allowed to join the Standing Fleet.
  • If you are going AFK then you should drop fleet.

• We strongly recommend you get on Mumble, and get involved in chatting, asking questions, etc. EVE is not fun alone. The best ship in EVE is friendship, after all! Make friends, it'll be a lot more fun, and you'll learn more!

Communications

• Members active in the community space should ideally be on Mumble, even if you don't intend to talk (if you are hearing impaired, let us know).
• Please familiarize yourself with our Communications Policy and Voice Communications Etiquette.

PvE

• Group PvE loot is the property of the group that agreed to rat or run sites together and should be distributed as per the prior agreement of the group.
• Mission rewards should not be shared with the main Standing Fleet. If you are running missions as a group, you must form a separate fleet to share the standings.
• Mission fleet members are advised to dock up when War Targets are identified nearby. This could assist local PvP efforts or secure high-priced ships. If you can assist in the fight, stand by to join the standing fleet and await announcements in the community chat or mumble.
• The first person at a site (combat, event, data, relic, etc.) is considered the "owner" and Unistas are forbidden from contesting sites from other Unistas or our allies (aka "blues").
  • Generally speaking, you are only allowed to contest sites of legal PvP targets as defined in our Rules of Engagement.
  • This means: If you are allowed to shoot them, you are also allowed to steal from them.

High-Sec Mining Rules & Guidelines

Category	Rule(s)
General Rules	Members are expected to join the in-game HQ standing fleet if they are mining or planning on mining in any of the high-sec stagings. Furthermore, participating in the HQ Standing fleet on Mumble is highly encouraged for faster voice communication.
	EVE University treats Moon Ore belts no differently than any other Asteroid Ore belts in New Eden. However, if the owner of an Athanor directly asks you to leave, please avoid unnecessary conflict.
Tips and Payments	Tipping should neither be asked nor expected. Boosters who are members of Eve University may get boosting supplies from official sources. If tips are given for any reason, they do not need to be returned.
	Just as we do not enforce payment from players who mine from our own belts after they spawn, EVE University does not impose any mandatory payment obligations.
	While a corporation may own the structure operating the drill, miners are not formally required or obligated to provide tips for the ore they extract.
	If a structure owner initiates a discussion about taxes in the local chat, it is advisable not to engage directly but to report the matter to community coordinators for resolution.
	Incidents or disputes related to taxes will be addressed individually, with a focus on diplomatic communication and resolution.
Fleets	Fleet Commanders for Shared Can Fleets, as in any other fleet, shall have final authority over the fleet members and interpretation of mining guidelines.
	Fleet Commanders for BYOC and other impromptu fleets shall have no explicit authority other than to remind fleet members of proper etiquette and guidelines.
Crystals	C-Type crystals should not be used on any Eve University moon field.
	B-Type crystals should not be used on jackpot moons (Glistening variants), or in a fleet that has more than 15 members on grid, unless instructed otherwise by a shared can FC.
Sharing	A rock should not have more than two active lasers mining it. If a pilot has both lasers on a rock, another pilot should not mine it. If a pilot has 1 laser on two different rocks, then another pilot can put 1 laser on each of the same rocks (making a total of 2). Mining drones do not count as lasers.
	When boosters are present (E-Uni or neutrals) and actively mining with drones, other pilots on the grid should not mine the same rock. Do note that this does not mean boosters can ask other pilots to move from rocks that are being mined (Boosters can ask, but pilots do not need to acquiesce).
