E-UNI Launches “Guest Fleet Commander” Program

Posted on 2012.07.17 by Administrator

For some time now, EVE University has restricted its fleet commanders to alliance members and a select few members with specific standings, but yesterday on July 16th, EVE University CEO Kelduum Revaan announced the formation of a ‘Guest Fleet Commander’ program.

This will allow select Fleet Commanders from different corporations and alliance within EVE to act as fleet commanders for EVE University fleets, allowing the students to gain a wider range of experience from FCs with different skill-sets and styles.

The first Guest FC to join the program is legendary Fleet Commander Ferocious FeAr of The Final Stand, who joined the EVE University Mumble server and spoke to members for quite some time last night.

We spoke to a couple of E-UNI Freshmen, Xelrich who was quite excited:

After merely sitting with her in channel and seeing her amazing knowledge of the game, I simply can’t wait to finally jump into fleet ops, something until now I’ve been too scared to get into seriously.

And fellow Freshman Morgaine L’Faye who was even more thrilled:

I never thought I’d be sad to see a war dec go away, but at least we have the next 24 hours to watch Fear give the war-targets the ass-whooping they need. I just hope I can get in on that fleet!

During wars, the Ally system as well as independent war-declarations will be used to ensure that guests have the same lists of targets as members, and E-UNI members will be restricted to the normal Rules of Engagement at other times (NRDS in LoSec, NBSI in Null).

If you or someone you know are interested in participating in the Guest FC program, please contact Kelduum Revaan for details.

E-UNI Offers Students Subsidized Implants

Posted on 2012.06.12 by Administrator

Last January EVE University’s Training Manager, NorthCrossroad privately started and funded a program to subsidize +3 implants, which allow EVE players to learn skills at a faster rate, enabling them to pilot larger and shinier ships, or to use more advanced modules, offering them for 5 million each, for the benefit of the E-UNI members. Normally these implants cost at least 7-8 million ISK apiece and can go as high as 10 mil.

The program became very popular and greatly benefited the Unistas. Consequently, the E-UNI directors offered to directly fund the program and make it an official benefit to the corporation members.

“I was delighted that the UNI offered to take on the +3 implant program,” said NorthCrossroad. “I’ve been told by those who have taken advantage of this offer that it is the second-most appreciated benefit they’ve received from the UNI, right behind free skillbooks.”

Using this program, UNI members can purchase Basic-level attribute enhancer implants for 5 million ISK each – an effective discount of 30%-50% off market prices. NorthCrossroad will continue to administrate the implant subsidy benefit, but all funding will now come from EVE University’s wallet. UNI members can find more information on the program here.

As the Dust Settles…

Posted on 2012.05.23 by Administrator

As the last salvagers finished their work at the Eygfe gate in Aldrat, and the UNI fleets came back home after chasing RvB to its home system, the war officially ended with well over a 140 billion ISK destroyed in total with over 57 billion ISK of that accounted for in just one battle. It is safe to say that the war infused Unistas with bloodlust, and introduced them the glories of PvP. All in all it was a good experience, so thanks go to Red vs Blue.

However, our fellow Unistas, who in the past week have been on constant alert and lookout for flashies on grid, cautious around stations and following the Wartime SOP, have again gained their freedom of movement.

Some rushed to continue their missioning; others started forming incursion fleets, while some headed back to the LowSec Camp, a sense of bewilderment and disorientation gripped many of those new to the game.

EVE University Launches Three New Training Corporations

EVE University [E-UNI], the premier training institution in EVE Online for over 8 years, with alumni in thousands of different corporations and alliances, today announced the creation of three new sister corporations: EVE Akademie for German speakers, EVE Institut for Russian speakers and, to assist the new Japanese EVE players, EVE Daigaku.

These new corporations have been created to fill the gap in the marketplace for non-English-speaking training groups covering all aspects of EVE, and will leverage the existing structure, resources and training materials of EVE University. Each will have their own language specific communities, classes and events, but will combine forces for fleet operations as part of the Ivy League Navy.

EVE University Goes Camping

Posted on 2012.04.10 by Administrator

EVE University’s directors announced this week plans to offer corporation members the opportunity to operate in an NPC pocket in sovereign null security space. The UNI will set up a “camp” in a seven-system Serpentis NPC-owned pocket in the Fountain region, and allow members to mission, mine, rat, engage in player versus player combat, and experience life in null sec.

UNI Director Darian Reymont stated, “This means we get to expand the nullsec portions of our training, and allows us to offer our students a genuine experience in a nullsec environment. We won’t be changing our rules or policies, nor will we be abandoning our neutrality. E-UNI will still be E-UNI, only it can now offer ‘moar’.”

EVE University to Interview PvP expert Azual Skoll

Posted on 2012.04.06 by Administrator

On Saturday, May 5th at 18:00 EVE Time, EVE University will host a live 90-minute interview and Q&A session with Azual Skoll, fearsome PvP combat specialist, former leader of Agony Unleashed, and author of the definitive EVE PvP blog, The Altruist.

One of EVE’s most well-known personalities, Azual will respond to questions submitted in Lecture.E-UNI in-game chat, while speaking on the UNI Mumble server. UNI Director of Education, Neville Smit, will moderate the event.

“We’re very excited to sponsor Azual for this event,” said Smit. “He is clearly one of the foremost authorities on player-versus-player combat in EVE. I can’t wait to see what kinds of questions our audience will bring.”

The event is open to anyone, though registration on EVE University’s forum and on the UNI’s public Mumble server is required.
