Mission Statement
The Amarr Mining Campus was founded to provide EVE University students with the opportunity to learn how to mine efficiently and safely. This includes giving advice for solo mining and providing organised fleet operations. All this will be provide in a friendly and supportive environment.
Goals of the Amarr Mining Camp:
- Teach students how to mine, co-operate and function in fleet mining operation with utmost efficiency.
- Inform students about ways to maximize the profits and benefits that come with organized mining.
- Introduce students to the basics of participating and running in a mining fleet and including the necessary paperwork.
- Support students to organize with their personal mining operations including some basic spreadsheets.
Background and Overview
The Amarr Mining Campus was initiated by Seranti Olerie, Ubermensch Invictus and Vger Starseed in March 2012. However, Seranti Olerie and Ubermensch Invictus have retired their position in the AMC and moved on to other things in Eve.
A number of criteria were set up to choose a suitable location for the AMC, these included:
- A decent distance from Aldrat (E-UNI HQ).
- Reasonable distance from one of the major Trade Hubs.
- An abundance of asteroid belts that contain high quality ores (+5 and +10 ores) in a very quiet constellation with a 50% refinery station.
- Reasonable Distance away from low security systems as well as any ice belts (popular for gankers).
The AMC is now on it's 5th location, with all previous locations now closed, but still remaining classified.
Leadership
The Amarr Mining Campus is currently run by
- Vger Starseed (Organizer)
- Cartilige Deninard (Coordinator)
- Rose Chanlin (Officer)
- Pale Peril (Officer)
- Tyrus Solarin (Officer)
- Urban Oxide (Officer, primary Recruiter)
A roster of current AMC staff is available in the Endeavour Spreadsheet.

Joining the Amarr Mining Campus
Requirements
The following is mandatory to join:
- Holding at least the E-Uni title Freshman
Application
- Join the AMC recruitment chat channel 'Amarr Mining Camp (uses the same password as other E-Uni channels) -
- Try to speak with our Personnel Officer Urban Oxide for a brief interview. You can try to convo him directly, if he is busy or offline drop him a eve message.

Ships to Bring
You must bring a combat capable ship to the AMC in case of a WT attack. Fly whatever you have the skills to fly effectively, whether that is a tackle frigate or attack battlecruiser. If you do not have an OOC hauler (see guide on creating one) then we recommend you fly a shuttle to the campus location and ask another member with an OOC hauler to help haul your venture or barge to the AMC. If you wish we also have a number of barges, exhumers and ventures available for sale/loan so contact an AMC officer (Preferably Mining Director Cartilige Deninard) about loaning one. We also recommend bringing a PvE ship as we frequently have mission running fleets.

Who’s It For?
The Amarr Mining Camp is currently open to all E-UNI students and is running within EVE University itself. We follow all the same rules and guidelines as anyone else in the UNI - as such, you will not need to leave E-UNI to join us. Simply join our Chat Channel (Amarr Mining Camp - use the same password as other E-UNI channels) say “Hi!”, and ask if there is a fleet going, and if not; start one yourself!
That said, we've decided the AMC is open to IVY League members, their alts and alumni only. We've chosen not to include +5 (NAP) and +10 (Friends) for two main reasons:
- 1. Our priority is not to help +5/+10s make or maximize ISK or teach them about mining, they have their own corp resources for that.
- 2. We prefer to keep the operation of the AMC as secure as possible while still open and accessible to E-UNI players. Admittedly, it is a delicate and difficult balance to maintain.
To reiterate, we prioritize the need to help E-UNI miners in a secure environment above all other considerations.
The above is a guideline - It is subject to future revisions. Note: It is to the Fleet Commander's own discretion in choosing who is a member of their fleet.
The AMC was initiated by Seranti Olerie, Ubermensch Invictus and Vger Starseed in March 2012. However, Seranti and Uber have moved on to other things in Eve. Now Vger along with Cartilige Deninard is operating the AMC. These experienced Miners, each backed with a wide variety of knowledge in the sector and by creating the Amarr Mining Camp, they have offered to pass their knowledge onto less seasoned students. A roster of current AMC Staff organizers are also listed in the Endeavour Spreadsheet.

T2 Module Lottery
A lottery is conducted for every shared can mining fleet in which all participants have a random (equal) chance of winning a T2 module from the following list:

FAQ
- What is the AMC? - If you didn’t read the first section for whatever reason, here’s a quick run-down to what the AMC is: The Amarr Mining Camp is an organized group of Miners who have travelled down to Amarr Space to gain access to the better ores of the game. This allows us to make a higher income from mining than we would achieve if we were up in Aldrat (E-UNI HQ).
- How do I join the AMC? - In short; you don't. The Amarr Mining Camp is running within EVE University. We follow all the same rules and guidelines as anyone else in the Uni. As such, you will not need to leave E-UNI to join us. Simply join our Chat Channel (Amarr Mining Camp - use the same password as other E-UNI channels) and ask if there is a fleet going, or start one yourself!
- How do I start/join a fleet? - Please refer to the 'Participating in a Mining Op' and 'Running a Mining Op' Wiki page for information on these subjects. They will tell you everything you need to know.
- Who do I talk to if I have a problem? - Feel free to ask any questions or direct any concerns to our 'Amarr Mining Camp' chat channel so one of our more experienced members can help you with your issue. However, if the question/concern is one you wish to keep privately or is unsuitable for standard E-UNI members, do not hesitate to contact: Vger Starseed, Cartilige Deninard , Pale Peril, Rose Chanlin or Tyrus Solarin. Each will be more than willing to assist you.
- Do I need a specific ship to help with Mining Operations? - No, you don't. No matter what ship you're flying in, you can always jump straight into a fleet and help. You'll be just as useful as anyone else out there. The more, the merrier.
- Do I need specific skills to run a Fleet? - Absolutely not! As Fleet Boss [Commander] all you need to run a fleet is a Spreadsheet (more information here) and people to mine/haul with. To start a fleet, just advertise it in chat and people will join you.
Any further questions you may have can be asked in the 'Amarr Mining Camp' Chat Channel.

NOTES NOT ACTIVE AT THE MOMENT
Student Run Contest
As of the 1st of August (2012) I am going to be running a competition for the people who fc mining fleets, reward tiers will be as follows:
- 1. First place: 50 million
- 2. Second place: 30 million
- 3. Third place: 20 million
Rules are as follows:
- 1. It must be an amc fleet.
- 2. It must have been submitted to the archive thread (read wiki under buyback for more information).
- 3. Post in said thread must be sent before 11:59 pm on the 1st of the following month.
- 4. Must be a shared can.
- 5. The fleet must have spent more than 20 hours mining (thats total time, e.g. 10 people mine for 2 hours, total time is 20 hours).
- 6. Must be euni alt/alumini/student/wardropped/etc.
- 7. Current amc staff and myself (Ayar Achasse) cannot win.
- 8. In order to protect myself and the participants from anything unforeseen, I reserve the right to disqualify, make new rules without notice, rescind old rules without notice and cancel the contest altogether.
I am toying with a few ideas at the moment, wether it will be a points system or hours based remains in question, but the person who takes control of a sheet and becomes an fc mid op will get some sort of partial recognition.
Remember, you do not have to be a vet fc to win this, you can have a fleet getting 1m/h and you are still in the running.
Please contact Ayar Achasse if you have any questions/concerns.
