Ships to bring when starting out

You may bring any ship that you don't mind losing. Here are some useful categories of ships you may want to consider bringing:

Tackle Frigates are an excellent option for new, and particularly young, campus members to fly. Tackle is a role that is often required within our fleets.

Ewar boats - Moar ewar from all racial categories is a great asset for the campus

Shield Cruisers for kiting fleets

Armour Cruisers for brawling fleets

On your first trip to the campus, it is recommended that you bring a fast, cheap frigate, both for ease of navigation through dangerous space, and to allow you to quickly make bookmarks as you travel. It is fairly easy to bring in additional ships later, please refer to the NSC forum for our Jump Freighter program. Expect to lose lots of ships.

At this time it is not recommended that you bring mining ships or industrials, with the exception of cloaky blockade runners. As the campus becomes more established, mining nullsec ores may become a more reasonable proposition, but at the current time we still have too much hostile activity in our home system for mining to be practical.

Replacement of T1 hulls under the Ship Replacement Program is available, with all the normal rules and regulations, with delivery to PC9-AY one of the available options. You can also move ships from the LSC in Uphallant using the LSC Jump Freighter service.
