Archive:Mining Loaner Fleet
Eve University offers, as a service to our students, the ability to borrow ships from our extensive "loaner fleet," including various mining ships as well as industrials.
Loan Policies
Eve University's Mining Manager (currently Callin Vandylx) runs the Mining & Industrial Fleet Loaner program. This describes the requirements, policies and steps to take to borrow a ship from the loner fleet.
Mining ship loans are made with the hope that they will allow you to earn the funds to purchase your own mining vessels. Participation in University operations is, as always, optional but encouraged. Running (fleet commanding) an operation is also encouraged, once you feel up to it.
New University students are encouraged to avail themselves of the hauler loaners to assist in any desired move near the Aldrat system.
Requirements
- You must be a member of Eve University.
- For Exhumer loans, you must hold at least a Student title or a Uni staff role.
Policies
- Loans are made for two weeks. Extended loans (up to four weeks) will be granted based upon availability and demand for the requested ships/modules.
- Loan contracts will be issued by the Mining Manager for the specified term. Should the Mining Manager change or become unavailable, please return the borrowed equipment to Eve University's Logistics Director (currently Azmodeus Valar).
- Renewals will be considered on an as-available basis.
- If the ship is destroyed, please post the killmail on the Eve Uni killboard with an explanation even if it was an NPC-only kill. Borrowers are ordinarily expected to replace and return the ship unless it is a Frigate class ship.
- Each student may have only one mining ship and one hauler ship out on loan at a time.
Placing a Loan Request
- Send a forum message to the Mining Manager (Forum PM to Callin Vandylx), or send an EVE Mail to Callin Vandylx
- Include in your message the ship type and any fittings you wish (not including rigs)
- Include your request for extended loan (up to four weeks) if you want a loan longer than the standard two weeks
- Be sure to include which mining crystals you would like if you are requesting Modulated Strip Miner IIs.
- If you cannot use crystals, request Strip Miner Is instead; they're more efficient than crystal-free IIs.
- You should receive a response in a day or two in ordinary circumstances
- A loan contract from Aldrat's Pator Tech Station (Uni HQ) will be issued
- If the Mining Manager cannot personally fit the specified ship, all the components will be included separately, otherwise it will come fully fitted
- Accept the loan contract when next you are online
- After the specified amount of time, return the ship to Aldrat's Pator Tech Station (Uni HQ) and close the loan contract out
- Partially used crystals (and, obviously, fully consumed crystals) need not be returned
