So you've heard that you can get free ships and modules from E-UNI, but are not sure how - this is the place for you!
Start out by being in the UNI HQ in Pator Tech School, where you should be able to find a "Corp Hangar" button in the right-side UI:

Note how the "Freshman" tab is active, which is the first tab you'll gain access to upon gaining your Freshman title. As an example, I'm going to grab a Merlin to make a tackler.
With the Freshman Ships container open, right click and "Unlock item" on the stack of your choice - Merlins in this case:

After you have the stack unlocked, it'll brighten up. Don't get distracted at this point, leaving any stack unlocked is bad - shift drag the stack into your Items window (which you can open from the left-side menu) and drop it. A quantity window will pop up, usually you just want 1:
Note that the Merlin won't actually appear in your Items window, but instead go straight to your Ships window. If it was a module it would actually show up. But we want a ship!
Afterwards, remember to lock the stack!
Congratulations! You're now the proud owner of a brand new Merlin. Now go forth and use it to equip a tackler!
