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 of this is provided in a friendly and supportive environment. Our goals in the Amarr Mining Campus are to provide a cooperative effort in mining operations and teach them about the most basic, fundamental, activities in EVE Online - without which you wouldn’t have your ships.

You learn how to maximise your productivity in a supportive environment when in Shared Cans and can frequently find ‘boosts’ provided from members in the AMC in ‘Bring Your Own Cans’. Members will also have the opportunity to manage provided spreadsheets to help with established operations or establish one of their own for community wide fleet operations. Our members aim to be helpful and engaging, helping with more advanced topics along the way, making the AMC an ideal place to practice mining, industry and research.

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, which orientates around seclusion, accessibility to a central trade hub, profitability and also variation in activities around the AMC. The AMC is now in its 5th location, with all previous locations remaining classified.

Leadership

The Amarr Mining Campus is currently managed by:

Vger Starseed (Organizer, Coordinator)
D'Asti (Team Member)
Janton Raudhir (Team Member)
Jefferson Spence (Team Member)
Scifinoide Xenoscopic (Team Member)

Amarr Mining Campus and Joining

The AMC is looking for Ivy League Members with an interest and a desire to invest in mining in the long term. This ranges from mining in ore belts in our systems to operating in wormholes, covertly harvesting gas in unknown space.

Your application is handled by AMC Officers and can be found here. Please note that it may take several days for your application to be processed dependent on the schedule of the officers. Otherwise questions can be asked Amarr Mining Campus (uses the same password as other E-Uni channels) and post your question(s).

Items to Bring

You should bring your fastest ship when provided with the location and you can use a hauling service provided by one of the officers to ferry your other items to the AMC if needed. A lot of mining modules and ships are provided by the AMC’s own industry and internal logistics. There are also members in the AMC willing to ship items from the trade hubs if required, typically the local one. During wartime, remember not to bring what you can’t afford to lose.

The AMC provides ECM ships for free which can be requested.

Alts

The Amarr Mining Campus is currently open to Alts from any Ivy League members. We do not currently accept +5 (NAP) or +10 (Friends) characters or Alumni. *Any Alt that participates in an AMC operation needs to be approved by an Amarr Mining Campus Officer in advance. The AMC members also provide facilities to alts; just ask when you’re in about alts!

Campus Rules and Procedures

General

As for all Eve University projects, the EVE University Rules take precedence.
Do not buy or sell within 5 jumps from home station except for NPC seeded items such as skillbooks. This rule does apply to out of campus and out of corp ALTs too.
During any campus activity join the AMC Channel in Mumble, or at least to be able to listen.
Do not mine or stay undocked while AFK.
Try to avoid being docked up AFK for long in home system to secure its location.
Help other campus members to learn.
Fly what you can afford to lose.

PvP

Running PVP ops in AMC is not forbidden, but kills and losses must be kept at an absolute minimum.
If there is any event that results in a killmail or lossmail, this has to be commented on the killboard.
Eve University Rules of Engagement apply to any PVP activity within the AMC.

PvE

Mission rewards must not be shared with an AMC fleet unless it is a specific mission fleet, Uni rules concerning faction standings still apply. Please refrain from taking over someone’s site if they’re in the AMC and respect other players in the game rights to the content of the sites even if they are not in the Uni.

Local Chat

Local chat is advised to be kept open in a separate window set so that the minimum amount information is presented. Standard procedure about OpSec applies to local chat.

Communication

Feel free to enter the AMC channel in the Mumble server, please respect the current conversation when entering. If there is specific fleet chatter, it is polite to use one of the provided channels for the chatter. Make sure to understand the protocol behind communications at all times when in public channels when referring to system names, AMC members can provide the information if necessary.

Bookmarking

Bookmarks in the Corporation Hangar, to help with the AMC please provide useful bookmarks or if people want to explore wormholes then please notify them and copy the bookmarks into the Corporation hangar. Any bookmarks which are related to the AMC area remains confidential and should be shared with caution. If in doubt, don't.

Mining Operations

Every member of the AMC is encouraged to join any existing AMC mining operation or to plan an AMC mining operation as a Fleet Commander on their own. There is no need for special skills to run or join a mining operation. If you're planning on running a mining operation, you only need a spreadsheet and people to mine, haul, and scout. Please try to ensure that there is only one organized AMC mining operation at a time.

A majority of the time AMC Shared Can operations are announced on our Mailing List so everybody can see if it's possible to join the operation. But there are also spontaneous operations that aren't announced beforehand. We also run frequent BYOCs that you can join. Simply ask in the chat channel for information on what is going on.

To participate in a mining fleet you may use any mining capable ship fitted with mining lasers. You can also use any appropriate hauling or boosting ship after consulting the fleet commander. You do not have to bring any specific type of ship but use the most appropriate for your fleet role. If you require a Venture or Mining Barge, you can ask for a 2-week loan following the same rules as the Eve University Mining Loaner Fleet, or purchase one at a reduced cost.

Bring Your Own Can Fleets (BYOC)

A BYOC (Bring Your Own Can) mining operation involves an Orca pilot providing boosts to your mining yield and mining laser range, sometimes also reducing capacitor usage that your mining lasers can be cycled quicker if needed. All BYOC operations are run by volunteer boosting pilots. It is courteous, though entirely optional, to gift the Orca pilot with a tip as a thank you for the increased yield.

Shared Can

Shared Can mining operations are organized by a volunteer fleet commander. The fleet commander organises for boosters and haulers to be available during the operation. Every AMC member can join the mining operation for as long as they wish. After the mining operation, the ore is sold with the AMC Buy-Back Service and divided between the members according to their time spent in-fleet. For information on running a Shared Can fleet, click here.

Services

AMC Buy-Back

While you are a member of the Amarr Mining Campus, you may use the AMC Buy-Back service to sell your ore or minerals directly within the AMC Home System and some of the surrounding systems. You will be paid out after the Buy-Back contract is accepted. From there, the AMC team takes over and your ore/minerals are refined, hauled and sold to the market.

The price paid through the Buy-Back is slightly below Jita price to make sure that the costs for hauling and selling are covered. Any profit made by this service, as with any service we run, is re-invested within the AMC and is used to help the campus function as normal. For example the Free T1 Modules/Ships and T2 Module Lottery is paid out of this profit.

With this point in mind, it is recommended to use this service to support the AMC for further members. This will also save you hauling ore or minerals to market yourself. When you use this AMC service, please refer to the corresponding Wiki Page page.

AMC Refining

The AMC Refining Service offers our members a perfect refine of ore from AMC Home Station. To allow us to run the AMC and all related services we take a small handling fee for this service. The outcome of the service will be higher than a perfect refine with 0% tax in an NPC Station. For more information and to submit your refining request, please visit the AMC Refining Service wiki page.

Free T1 Mining Ship

If you are concerned that you do not have a usable ship for mining when you join the Amarr Mining Campus, the AMC offers a free Venture. The AMC also provides you with a Loaner Fleet Service and slightly reduced cost Mining Barge. To get the Venture you can take one out of the Corporation Hanger in the Home Station. Please make sure to follow the instructions from the Hanger section.

Free T1 Modules

While you are in the Amarr Mining Campus you can make use of the following Modules to fit your ship to optimize your mining (all available items are within the corporation hangar in home station). If you do not see an item in the corporation hangar, please contact an officer about the availability of the module you are seeking. There is also a large number of T1 and T2 modules and ships available for purchase from the AMC, just contact an officer to request these.

AMC BYOB (Build your own Barge)

(New Service as of 25 January 2015)

The Amarr Mining Campus would like to offer you an additional way to get yourself into a mining barge beside loaning and buying an assembled one.

The AMC provides you with a BPC (Blue Print Copy) and the required minerals required to build the Mining Barge of you choice (Retreiver, Procurer or Covetor), for the BPC and Minerals you purchase at the price of the minerals quoted from Jita when you request your BYOB package. To request a BYOB package, send a mail to the AMC team members with the BYOB package you want to get and we setup a contract to you with all the required stuff in a station container.

We provide this service to all AMC members for their own use but not to move the produced barges to the market. Please be fair to all our members and request only the numbers you'll require to fly yourself in the AMC.

It is advisable if you do not otherwise have the hauling capabilities yourself that you make sure you might to borrow a Kryos to move the materials to the station with industry facilities or please note in the mail that you would like us to contract it in the other station.

Loaner Fleet

The Amarr Mining Campus will loan mining related ships from our "loaner fleet".

Currently the loaner fleet includes the Retriever and Covetor.

Loan Policies

Mining ship loans are made with the hope that they will allow you to earn the funds to purchase a mining vessel of your own. Participation in AMC operations is optional but encouraged. Membership to the AMC is required for a loan mining barge of the types specified and it will be loaned within the AMC area.

Policies

Loans are made for two weeks. Extended loans will be granted based on individual decisions.
Contract will be issued by an AMC Team member for the specified ship and fitting.
The ship must be returned with the loan fitting at the end of the loan period.
In the case of ship loss, inform an AMC Team member as soon as possible with the kill mail and an explanation of what happened. In this case the borrower is expected to replace the lost ship and fittings.
Each AMC member may have only one loaned ship at a time.
Ships are loaned without rigs. If you return the ship with fitted rigs, due to game mechanics we cannot return the rigs, nor will we offer to repay or replace them.

Placing a ship Loan Request

Send a forum mail to any AMC Team member. If a fit is desired then please specify in the mail otherwise the barge will be loaned with no fittings. An AMC Officer will either contract you the barge or they may trade it yourself. Once the loaned barge has been accepted and after the loan period, you can contract or trade the barge back.

AMC Lotteries

AMC Miner's Lottery - AMC Hulk Lottery

The Miner’s Lottery is conducted for every shared can mining fleet, in which all participants have an equal chance to win a random prize from the following list:

1x Mining Barge from Covetor, Retriever OR Procurer
1x Drone Set (Hobgoblin II x5, Warrior II x5, Mining Drone II x5)
1x Modulated Strip Miner II
1x Gas Cloud Harvester II
1x Ice Harvester II
4x Miner II
3x Mining Laser Upgrade II
1x Survey Scanner II
10x Exotic Dancers of either type...

The purpose of the Miner’s Lottery is to add an additional incentive to participate in Campus activities. This lottery is exclusive to AMC Members, officers aren't included in the draw.

AMC Hulk Raffle is a player-run event which is carried out during the first week of each month. The Raffle includes everyone who participated in a Shared Can during the previous month and gives them all a chance to win a fully-fitted T2 Hulk. The Raffle takes into account the amount of Shared Cans a single character participates in, giving more active members a higher chance of winning.

The Hulk Raffle serves as an incentive for players to climb the ladder and train up their skills in hopes that they’d win a new, shiny T2 Exhumer. For a Shared Can to be included in the raffle, it must adhere to the following rules:

Shared Can must contain at least 5 AMC individuals
Shared Can must total at least 300m ISK
Shared Can must use the AMC Buyback Spreadsheet

Because this Lottery is player-run and not officially tied in with AMC operations, all AMC members, including Officers, are entered into the Raffle. The only member who can't win is Janton Raudhir as he is the host.
