Archive:Project Solitude

On 24 Jul 2012, Project Solitude was announced by E-Uni CEO Kelduum Revaan. The announcement can be found here. The Project Solitude E-Uni Headquarters is located at Oerse VI - Moon 10 - Quafe Company Retail Center. Ingame chat channel at Solitude.E-Uni. Mumble channel dedicated to Project Solitude as well.

What is Project Solitude?

Project Solitude is a sanctioned E-Uni effort to establish a presence and a trade hub in the Solitude Region of New Eden. Surrounded by LowSec, the Solitude Pocket contains 17 linked HighSec systems:

Oerse (Home System), Lour, Maire, Octanneve, Yvaeroure, Vecodie, Arasare, Yvelet (LowSec Connection System), Lazer (Rumored to be full of sharks!), Stoure (Dead End System), Boystin (LowSec Connection System), Larryn, Niballe (Start of 4 system dead end pipe], Postouvin, Odinesyn, Gererique (Dead End System), Wearoix (LowSec Connection System) (Only way to 3 LowSec system dead end pocket).

Getting to Solitude

In the near future we hope to have volunteers dedicated to helping get you and your stuff into the Solitude Pocket. In the meantime, you can get here by:

Pod Express. If you don't have any implants in your current clone, and your new medical clones are fairly cheap, you have can take "the pod express". Simply change your medical clone location to one of the stations in Oerse, and then self destruct your pod. It may be a good idea to get a jump clone in the empire first. After you wake up in Solitude, simply buy a new ship here.

Via LoSec. This is a long route via Arida, from Bherdasopt (hisec) through Gonditsa, Otakod, Agaullores and Yveve to Yvelet (hisec). The biggest risk of this particular path is a persistent gatecamp just off Bherdasopt gate in Gonditsa. If you are taking this route to reach Solitude — or to get back out towards Aldrat again — you may want to contact the University's Low-Sec Camp in order to check if the gate is clear. The LSC is based not far from Gonditsa, and so generally keeps eyes on that area.

There is a real-time live feed of the Gondista gate setup by an E-Uni member. It provides information on the gate in 15 second intervals. You can find the live feed cam here: http://alternateaccess.ca/uni/gonditsa.html

Via Null Sec. This is a little shorter, but goes though Syndicate, from Stacmon (hisec) to Ostingele (losec) then to MHC-R3 (nullsec), M2-CF1, Y9G-KS, Pertnineere (losec) and then Boysin (hisec).

Via a Wormhole. There is an active scanning program within the pocket and hisec-to-hisec wormholes are found on a regular basis. Both ends of the wormhole are bookmarked and placed in the Project Solitude folder of the corporate bookmarks. This means members can use those via corp bookmarks to move assets/trade etc into the region without having to go through losec/nullsec. This is a great way to get valuable ships and cargo into the pocket with minimal risk

Via courier. Black Frog or other couriers move assets in and out of the area, although this can be fairly costly. You can't move yourself this way! http://black-frog.red-frog.org/jumps.php

Via Jump Freighter or carrier. This is an option if you have them, but they should be out of corp. If things get popular, then we may jump things in/out ourselves.

Scanning

Scanning is a great way to contribute to the success of Project Solitude. We are currently working on setting up a google docs file to indicated which systems have been scanned recently and which systems still need to be scanned for wormholes. Ask in the Solitude.E-UNI chat for a link to that document.

Logistics

More details to follow. We need to establish a logistics train to move materials back and forth to HiSec. We want to do this in an organized manner, we are just not setup to organize it yet.

HDF/QRF

Fleet Commander's needed. A LSC fleet joined by a Solitude HDF/QRF would be glorious.

Corporate Hanger

Please feel free to contribute to the corporate hangers in Oerse. At present the hangers are not being stocked by the E-Uni Logistics Department so please remember to take only what you need.

Mining

We need more miners in the pocket. Industrialist can help by setting up mineral buy orders, which will encourage the miners to mine, and bring more minerals for to the industrialist, who can them build more ships and modules.

Industry

There is a forum thread outlining the most requested modules here: http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=57010. The market is short on ships...particularly the more popular ship hulls. There is a noteworthy lack of competition in the Pocket right now with many items selling out as fast as they are put on the market. Lot of ISK to be made.

BYOM/PYOS

Not Yet! Having an active and vibrant BYOM/PYOS program will be a sure sign that Solitude is a sustainable place to live.

Recruitment

Actively recruiting Unitas' to come join us in Solitude!

Education/Events

Classes that do not have a practical are not impacted by residing in Sol. The goal is to get teachers give at least some of there practicals in Solitude. Solitude pilots can help by signing up for classes and specifically requesting practicals in Solitude. We are going to need a sense of how many pilots want to participate in particular classes/events. Eventually, we want to request classes to be conducted in Solitude.

Ship Replacement Program

Still in Aldrat so far, some future day maybe in Oerse.

Skillbooks

Skillbooks in Solitude are available in a low sec system (Elore). If you have a cheap clone in the area you can get there in a shuttle, plug them in, and get out there again. Low risk involved. You can also use this stituation as a trade opportunity.
