Hello and welcome to EVE University! If you've just joined you're one big step closer to learning more about EVE Online. The information on this page should be read along with the Welcome mail that you will have received when you were accepted. We understand that this is a lot of reading but please make sure you review this information as it will help you get started and make the most of your time in EVE University. You may find it useful to bookmark this page so you can refer back to it in your first few days and weeks with us.
+
Please note that you can find Corporation Events/Fleets in game by accessing the Corporation Calendar. To do this, simply click on the time display (at the bottom left of your screen) in EVE Online and it should pop right up for you to check what you can do with your Corpmates today!

== Chat channels and their uses ==
==First steps==
 
 
 
{{ related class | Introduction to EVE University}}
 
What you should do first (once you're done reading this page) is visit our [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=76| Hi and Bye Forum] and introduce yourself. The button to create a new thread is in the top left of the forum next to the search bar and looks like this: [[File:Newthread.png‎]]
 
It is quite normal not to get any response to threads in this section, because we do get a lot of new members! But this is a requirement to obtain your first [[Titles_Within_EVE_University|title]] so its best to get it out of the way early.
 
 
 
EVE University, as you will have gathered during the application process, normally finds itself at war. During the application process you were asked to read the [[Wartime_Operations_in_EVE_University]] page. It would be a good idea to read over this as a refresher now that you are a member.
 
 
 
Remember that now you are a member we will expect you to follow the [[EVE University Rules]] and have our [[Overview]] installed.
 
 
 
==Your access as a member of EVE University==
 
 
 
As part of your being accepted to EVE University the Personnel Officer will have changed your access to that of a member. You should now have the following access:
 
 
 
* Your access on our [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/index.php forum] will be updated so you can access the members-only sections of our forum, as well as the public areas. The icon to the left of each section shows you who can view it: [[File:Eve.png‎]] means it is public, [[File:CorpForumLogo.png]] means current members and alumni, and [[File:Corp-only.png]] means current members only.
 
* Your [[Mumble]] access will be updated also, so you can access the members-only mumble channels. Please note that it will take several hours for Mumble to show this change, so don't panic if you can't get into the other channels straight away. If you need to get into the channel e.g. for a fleet or class, ask in the Chat.E-UNI in-game chat channel for someone to drag you in.
 
* You will see our Corp and Alliance channels in game, and in addition to the default channels, the Personnel Officer may have brought you into some other channels for members. See below for more information on our chat channels.
 
* You will automatically be added to the Corp and Alliance mailing lists, meaning you will receive mails of general interest to the Corporation. These are often used to advertise classes, fleets and events, or to make announcements about the Corporation or Alliance. Please be careful about using these and do not click "Reply All" on a message, or it will be sent to the entire mailing list. It can be annoying for members to receive lots of mails about the same subject so keep these mailing lists as spam-free as possible.
 
* EVE University uses an application called EVE Workbench for fittings and doctrines. For instructions see [[EVE Workbench]].
 
 
 
==Chat channels and their uses ==  
 
  
 
We have various different chat channels and we understand that these can be a bit daunting for new members. The most important ones are summarised below.

==What to do next?==
+
== Programs and services ==
 
 
Now you've taken the step of joining EVE University you are free to make use of the various activities we offer, and we would encourage you to do so. If you're not sure where to start, try the following:
 
 
 
===Obtain a mentor===
 
 
 
Mentors are members who volunteer to assist newer players one-on-one. If you have less than 4 months experience in EVE Online and less than 6 million skillpoints you may be eligible to apply for a mentor. You will need to fill in a form indicating your timezone and areas of interest so that you can be paired with a mentor with a similar timezone and with experience in the areas you want to learn about. For more information and to apply for a mentor see our page on the [[Mentor Program]].
 
 
 
===Attend a class===
 
 
 
Classes are advertised in various ways. Almost all classes will be listed on our calendar (if you click the clock in the bottom left corner of your screen in-game you will see the in-game calendar), as well as our [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72| Scheduled Classes] forum. In addition, we send out regular bulletins to the mailing list about upcoming classes and they are normally advertised in the Alliance channel in-game shortly before they start.
 
 
 
Most of our classes are suitable for new players, check the forum thread of the class you are interested in to see whether there are any pre-requisites and where it will be held. Most will be held in voice on our public mumble server and will have an in-game channel assigned for questions. You do not need to RVSP to attend a class, just join the class' Mumble channel at the scheduled time. For more information on joining a class see our wiki page on [[Classes]]. We also record a lot of our classes for people to listen to later, and they are accessed via our [[Class Library]].
 
 
 
===Attend an event===
 
 
 
Like classes, events are normally announced beforehand on the calendar, and will also be posted in our [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=104| Corporation Events] forum. Again, check the forum thread to see whether there are any pre-requisites for joining in. For some events there may be particular ships you should fly, so make sure you have the skills and the ship ready beforehand. You do not need to RSVP, just turn up on the day. Most events will also be suitable for spectators, if you just want to watch.
 
  
===Go on a fleet===
+
* [[Mentor Program]] This program is for players that are looking for one-one tutoring, whether for asking questions or practicing concepts ingame. You simply fill out the application provided on the page and our Mentor Manager does the rest! This is open to characters of any age and experience.
 +
* [[The +3 Implants Program]] This program is available to those who have been playing longer than 31 days and have been in the University for at least 7 days. These implants are available at a reduced prices and help with things like faster skill training.
 +
* [[Corporation Hangar]] Access to this service is available after you have applied for [[Freshman]] and received the title, but can be useful when you first join, if you ask another player with the title to help, you get free modules and frigates at the communities. In addition to that we have [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=126526&p=956646 free ships for you to use on contract] - there are called "Flight Deck" or "FD" ships and you are free to take one whenever you need a ship for a specific activity.
 +
* [[The Skillbook Program]] EVE University which allows you to obtain reimbursement for up to three and a half million ISK of skillbooks per day. The instructions are on the page for more info.
 +
* [[Ship Replacement Program]] The program (Commonly known as SRP) is intended to both help new pilots get into PvP and to promote the use of important hulls that benefit the entire fleet.
 +
* [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=293&t=121063 Sponsored Community Shipping Service] Is a program that is intended to be available for nearly all communities. However, you can always ask in Mumble for help moving your items from where you are in space.
  
You may think that you need more skillpoints before you are ready to go on a fleet, but this is not the case. EVE University is a corp with hundreds of brand new players, and our fleet commanders will be prepared for inexperienced fleet members. A lot of fleets are advertised in advance on the calendar and the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=266| Combat Fleets (ILN)] forum, but some of them are just announced when a fleet commander feels like taking a fleet out, so keep an eye on the Alliance channel. Before you attend your first fleet make sure you read over the [[Rookies_guide_to_fleet_ops|Rookie's Guide to Fleet Ops]], which will teach you how to join a fleet and some basic fleet commands. Fleets labelled as '''Noobs on Patrol''' in particular will be aimed at brand new players (but they are not the only fleets you can join by any means!).
+
== Education ==
 +
Our Education Department works hard to help our members and the players of EVE Online, to be able to better understand the game basics and make the game as enjoyable as possible. Most of our classes are available with a .PDF so you can read before you venture out to the great unknown and try something new.
 +
* [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=72 Classes available at this time] You can also check the in game Corporation Calendar at any point by clicking on the time display in the bottom left hand side in EVE Online.
 +
* [[Classes|Classes often taught at EVE Uni]] On this page you will also find instructions on requesting a class from this list on Discord.
 +
* [[Pod saving]] This class is at the very core of everything you do in EVE Online.
  
Once you see a fleet you are interested in joining, read the forum thread to see if there are any pre-requisites. Some fleets will have a 'doctrine' meaning only certain ship fittings are permitted, whereas some will be 'kitchen sink' meaning you are free to fly whatever you like (providing the fleet commander allows it).  You can find out all about the tools we use to share common doctrines [[EVE_Workbench|here]]
+
== Training on Tap and other learning videos ==
  
As with classes and events, there is no need to RSVP. If you are a little nervous, make sure you are at the starting destination a little bit early and ask any questions in the our chat channels in game. Our other members will be more than willing to help you out.

===Join a campus===
+
== Progression Titles in EVE Uni ==
 +
As you learn and grow in EVE University, you may find that you want to do more. You can work towards our Freshman, Sophomore and Graduate titles. These indicate how far along EVE Uni's path you have traveled, and give you a sense of achievement, along with some in-corp perks.
 +
* [[Titles within EVE University]] Each title has perks with it. With the ultimate goal of becoming a GRADUATE.
 +
* [[Community Content Initiative]] As the name implies, the focus of the program will be "content generation" (i.e., activities) spread around multiple "communities" and/or areas of space.
  
[[Campuses]] are groups of EVE University members living together in different areas of space, with EVE University support. They each have their own community, including their own forum, chat channels, mumble channels and hangars, but they are still part of the wider corporation. The campuses are one of the biggest strengths of EVE University, as they give members an opportunity to try out living in different areas of space to see what they enjoy, without the commitment of joining a more specialized corporation.
+
== Understanding Fleets ==
 +
No matter what kind of ship you fly, or the Community you live at, there is always a FLEET available in the EVE University. It is a great part of being in a corporation. However, being part of a fleet means knowing a few basics.
 +
* Fleet Commands and understanding Fleets- Read this: [[Fleets (CORE class)]] This can make the difference in losing or keeping a ship sometimes when [[Suicide ganking|gankers]] come around to cause havoc.
 +
* Obeying EVE University's [[EVE University Rules|Rules of Engagement]], when roaming or on fleets is a great way to make sure you are able to participate in all kinds of fleets and outings.
  
Aside from the wormhole campus, which requires the Freshman title and some skills to be trained to ensure that you can participate in all activities, all our campuses are suitable for brand new members. If you are interested in joining a campus, read up on their wiki page to find out a little more about them and how to join. Some of the campuses have a hauler service to move your ships there with less risk. You can join as many campuses as you like and you can switch between them whenever you want to, you are not fixed to the campus you first choose.
+
== Community Life ==
  
==Making Use of EVE University's Services==
+
With the exception of our Wormhole Community, our communities do not have an application or skill requirement. So, please join in at any of the activities that you wish to.
  
EVE University has lots of services to offer its members, and they are designed to give you a kick-start in EVE Online, so make the best use of them you can. You can find more information on all our our services in the [[:Category:Services|Services category]]. The following services are of particular relevance to new players.
+
=== Main Community (Uni Headquarters) ===
 +
[[File:E-UNI.png|left|70px]] The '''[[Main Community]]''' in [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Placid/Stacmon Stacmon] is our main staging area for the Uni. "The Quad" being our main staging structure for most Uni Events.
  
You can find links to these services (and other useful links) on the bulletins in the in-game corporation window, the icon for which looks like this: [[Image:CorporationIcon.png|32px]]
+
Within a few jumps radius of Stacmon, you can find areas in which to mine, run missions, participate in PVP, and there will be other corpmates engaging in those activities that you can join up with.
 +
{{Clear}}
  
===Skillbook reimbursement===
+
=== Wormhole Community (WHC) ===
 +
[[File:WHClogo.png|left|70px]] The '''[[Wormhole Community]]''' focuses on living in [[wormholes|wormhole space]], and dedicated to educating students about [[Living in Wormhole Space|wormhole life]]. The Wormhole Community is currently based in J211936, a C2 wormhole with hisec and C3 static connections; giving easy access to known space for logistics, and to higher class w-space for PvP and PvE. Wormhole space is one of the most hostile - but also one of the most lucrative - areas of space in EVE. For more information, visit the [[Wormhole Community]] page.
  
From the first day you join you can start making use of our skillbook reimbursement. You won't have access to the skillbook wallet at first, so you'll need to ask someone to help you out in the Corp chat channel (once you have the freshman title you can reimburse yourself, and also help out others who don't yet have the title). EVE University will reimburse any skillbooks you buy, provided they cost less three and a half million (3,500,000) ISK each. You can claim multiple reimbursements per day, up to a maximum of three and a half million (3,500,000) ISK per day. For full details of how it works, see [[The Skillbook Program]].
+
The [[Freshman]] title and some basic skills and ships are required to join the Wormhole Community.
  
===Corporation Hangar===
+
=== Incursion Community ===
 +
[[File:Incursionlogo.png|left|70px]]The '''[[EVE University Incursion Community]]''' works together to introduce students and alumni to that area of the game, and runs sites as a cohesive group. The community primarily focuses on running short-ranged, stationary shield fleets in Vanguard sites, and has a doctrine that is very forgiving for lower skill-point and cheaper hulls often associated with E-UNI students. For more information, visit the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] page.
  
EVE University has corporation hangars, both at our Headquarters and at all our [[Campuses]] which are intended for use by members. In the hangars we keep a stock of frigates, weapons, modules, ammunition, drones, skillbooks etc. Like with the skillbook reimbursement, you won't be able to access these at first, but you can ask in the Corp chat channel for someone to get something out of the hangar for you. Once you have the freshman title you can access the hangars yourself. For more information see [[Corporation Hangar]].
+
While some roles in Incursions can be performed by players of all skill levels, please see their specific [[EVE University Incursion Community#Requirements|requirements]] listings.
  
===+3 Implants Program===
+
== Feeling a bit lost? ==
 +
We know that this is a lot of information when you first join, so please don't panic! Bookmark this wiki page so you can refer back to it later. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the {{Co|#0099CC|Questions (EVE Uni)}} channel.
  
There are certain implants which are used to speed up your skill training, which can give you a real boost, especially as a new player. EVE University gives all its new members the opportunity to purchase a set of +3 Implants at a significant discount. Your character will need to be less than 3 months old to qualify. For more information on how to request a set, see [[The_%2B3_Implants_Program|The +3 Implants Program]]
+
=== Orientation Department ===
 +
[[File:Orientation Logo.png|left|80px]] Got questions, ask anyone in the '''[[Orientation Department]]''', on [[Discord]] or in [[Mumble]]. They are here to help you get settled in your chosen community or even help you with general game play questions you might have. Don't worry about asking 'stupid' questions - we have heard them all before and won't judge you! If you are new to the game, you should also consider applying for a mentor to help get you started. Orientation will help you with this process as well and even answer your questions if you have a wait for a mentor!
 +
{{Clear}}
 +
=== Management Support ===
 +
[[File:E-UNI.png|left|70px]]
 +
If you need help from a particular department, there is a list of '''[[EVE University Management]]''' here showing who is responsible for each department. Most departments also have their own Wiki page for a list of staff you can reach out to. However, if you have a problem with that department, please make sure to talk to the Manager of that department for a resolution.
 +
However, if it is a personal problem, player to player, contact our [[Student Advocate]] whose role is to mediate disputes between members and bring any necessary matters to the attention of EVE University management.
  
===Ship Replacement Program===
+
== Helping EVE University ==
 
 
At EVE University we want to promote people taking part in PVP and going on EVE University fleets. Therefore if you lose your ship on an EVE University PVP fleet, provided you meet certain conditions (e.g. you comment on the loss to show you have learned something, you were flying a reasonably fit ship and you were on an EVE University PVP fleet) you can claim reimbursement. So even if you lose your ship, you don't lose out! Each ship type has certain requirements to be eligible for reimbursement, see [[Ship Replacement Program]] for all the requirements and how to claim reimbursement.
 
 
 
==Titles in EVE University==
 
 
 
You will have noticed that some of our services and one of our campuses require a certain 'Title'. As you spend more time in EVE University and get involved more you will become eligible for different titles. For more information on how titles work and how to apply for them, see [[Titles Within EVE University]].
 
 
 
 
 
==Helping EVE University==
 
{{ related class | Making a Difference in the UNI}}
 
 
EVE University does not have any paid staff: all its programs, services and departments are run by volunteers. We also rely on members to create content for each other and to help each other out by answering questions. It may not seem like you know a lot about EVE Online at the moment, but you almost certainly know more already than some other players who have been playing for less time than you. We really appreciate any members helping others out, no matter how new you are to the game. If you'd like some ideas on how you can give back to EVE University and help out other members, see [[Helping EVE University]].

This page is here to help guide you to information on how to make a smooth transition to Uni, and the game as well. As a member of EVE University, you are able to utilize several features not available to outside players.

  • The "Corp" channel is used to request skillbook reimbursement and to request items from our hangars.

As you learn and grow in EVE University, you may find that you want to do more. You can work towards our Freshman, Sophomore and Graduate titles. These indicate how far along EVE Uni's path you have traveled, and give you a sense of achievement, along with some in-corp perks.

  • Titles within EVE University Each title has perks with it. With the ultimate goal of becoming a GRADUATE.
  • Community Content Initiative As the name implies, the focus of the program will be "content generation" (i.e., activities) spread around multiple "communities" and/or areas of space.

Understanding Fleets

No matter what kind of ship you fly, or the Community you live at, there is always a FLEET available in the EVE University. It is a great part of being in a corporation. However, being part of a fleet means knowing a few basics.

  • Fleet Commands and understanding Fleets- Read this: Fleets (CORE class) This can make the difference in losing or keeping a ship sometimes when gankers come around to cause havoc.
  • Obeying EVE University's Rules of Engagement, when roaming or on fleets is a great way to make sure you are able to participate in all kinds of fleets and outings.

Community Life

With the exception of our Wormhole Community, our communities do not have an application or skill requirement. So, please join in at any of the activities that you wish to.

Main Community (Uni Headquarters)

The Main Community in Stacmon is our main staging area for the Uni. "The Quad" being our main staging structure for most Uni Events.

Within a few jumps radius of Stacmon, you can find areas in which to mine, run missions, participate in PVP, and there will be other corpmates engaging in those activities that you can join up with.

Wormhole Community (WHC)

The Wormhole Community focuses on living in wormhole space, and dedicated to educating students about wormhole life. The Wormhole Community is currently based in J211936, a C2 wormhole with hisec and C3 static connections; giving easy access to known space for logistics, and to higher class w-space for PvP and PvE. Wormhole space is one of the most hostile - but also one of the most lucrative - areas of space in EVE. For more information, visit the Wormhole Community page.

The Freshman title and some basic skills and ships are required to join the Wormhole Community.

Incursion Community

The EVE University Incursion Community works together to introduce students and alumni to that area of the game, and runs sites as a cohesive group. The community primarily focuses on running short-ranged, stationary shield fleets in Vanguard sites, and has a doctrine that is very forgiving for lower skill-point and cheaper hulls often associated with E-UNI students. For more information, visit the EVE University Incursion Community page.

While some roles in Incursions can be performed by players of all skill levels, please see their specific requirements listings.

Feeling a bit lost?

We know that this is a lot of information when you first join, so please don't panic! Bookmark this wiki page so you can refer back to it later. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the Questions (EVE Uni) channel.

Orientation Department

Got questions, ask anyone in the Orientation Department, on Discord or in Mumble. They are here to help you get settled in your chosen community or even help you with general game play questions you might have. Don't worry about asking 'stupid' questions - we have heard them all before and won't judge you! If you are new to the game, you should also consider applying for a mentor to help get you started. Orientation will help you with this process as well and even answer your questions if you have a wait for a mentor!

Management Support

If you need help from a particular department, there is a list of EVE University Management here showing who is responsible for each department. Most departments also have their own Wiki page for a list of staff you can reach out to. However, if you have a problem with that department, please make sure to talk to the Manager of that department for a resolution. However, if it is a personal problem, player to player, contact our Student Advocate whose role is to mediate disputes between members and bring any necessary matters to the attention of EVE University management.

Helping EVE University

EVE University does not have any paid staff: all its programs, services and departments are run by volunteers. We also rely on members to create content for each other and to help each other out by answering questions. It may not seem like you know a lot about EVE Online at the moment, but you almost certainly know more already than some other players who have been playing for less time than you. We really appreciate any members helping others out, no matter how new you are to the game. If you'd like some ideas on how you can give back to EVE University and help out other members, see Helping EVE University.
