CORPORATION PLANNING
CAPSULEER PREPARATORY UNIVERSITY (CA.PR.U.)
1. Selected Name
Since the 10th of December 2012 the corporation of: Capsuleer Preparatory
University (Ca.Pr.U.) has gone active.
2. Introduction
The corporation was created to support the new and returning players of EVE
Online in the harsh environment of New Eden until they have accomplished their
educational challenges and feel comfortable to either create their own saga in the
sandbox environment of the game or choose to remain with us and support our
cause.
In a helpful and supportive environment we will cover your questions about the
game. Our approach is not a strict one, but in the form of advice, practice and
challenges.
The areas we cover are PVE (Player Versus Environment) and PVP (Player
Versus Player) both as individual areas of interest for those who have made up
their minds and as a whole for those who want something different every now
and then.
3. The Stages
The educational prowess is indicated through a ranked classification system that
is designed around each individual area of expertise, yet it will be tailored to your
needs and game play. To progress through the classes you have to meet certain
requirements and at the end of each class beat certain challenges.
The Stages or Classes are:
Leave Corp
Rookie → Class 3 → Class 2 → Class 1 → Graduate
Remain and Aid
Returning Players can jump straight to a certain class depending on their level of
experience.
4. Other Corporate Info
The corporation is operated during Eastern Europe time. Until our corporation
enlists other members from other countries of the world this may cause
inconvenience to people from other time zones. If you feel like you can offer to
our cause, then take a look at the last page for more info.
The places are limited for the time being so we can accept only up to 6
capsuleers at a time. Watch this space as this number will change over time.
5. The rights of our members
•
Every member will receive a starter pack only once at the beginning, if you
re-apply you won’t receive one.
•
Every member is entitled to our reward system until his/her graduation;
some support can be given even after that if and when required.
•
Every member will have limited access to the corporation hangars; access
will increase over time.
•
Every member can drop out and still receive a degree if they feel what we
do is not for them as soon as they reach Class 3, unless they violate the
corporation rules, thus expelling them out of the corporation and placing a
bounty on their head.
6. Rules and Claims of the Corporation
•
Tax rate is at 0% yet will increase to a certain.% when under war
declaration.

•
If you feel something is lacking don’t hesitate to speak your mind and we
will answer or take action the best way we can, we want our members to
be happy so we need your feedback.
•
The only ways of progression is through the examination challenges and
filling the prerequisites for the next Class. Only returning players can
achieve a rank straight away without the need if examination challenge.
•
The rules are prior to change as the corporation evolves.
•
Mistakes are part of the learning process and nobody is immune to them
so don’t stress out. 

Classification Advancement through Prerequisites and
Exam Challenges
The ranked classification system exists to monitor the progress of a new player
within the game. The corporation’s aim is to train pilots in the required areas until
they are ready, able to survive and do as they wish for. The advice given is what
it sounds to be, advice. It is not forced to anyone but it’s a fast way to progress
through the steep learning curve of the game. However, beating the examination
challenges and filling each class prerequisites is the only way to advance through
them.
It must be noted that the exams can be held any day, every day and that the Pilot
has 3 attempts per day. If the pilot makes 3 fails as a total the examination
challenge moves for another time when the pilot and one of the tutors are
available.
Returning Capsuleer
That’s an old player of EVE starting anew after a leave of absence. (Either old or
new main character) Usually he/she has great experience and understanding of
the game, yet his/her knowledge may be a bit “rusty” or if he/she made a new
character, does not have the skills. After a short session where we show what
new has happened during the time of his/her absence, he/she may reach Class 3
to Class 1 depending on experience and character level.
Rookie Capsuleer
That is what we call a new player or noob in short, he/she has little experience on
how to cope in the vast void of New Eden.
To progress on Class 3 rank needs to:
Be able to do solo at least a Level 1 mission. (Exam challenge)
Have the core skills in the certificate planner at STANDARD level.
(Prerequisite)
Successfully pass the “Market” & “Contract” test. (Exam challenge)
Understand the User Interface of the game. (Prerequisite)
Be able to fly up to a Cruiser class ship. (Prerequisite)
Class 3 Capsuleer
A Novice Capsuleer – that level was achieved by displaying skills of navigation
(warp, jump, approach etc.) as well as basic skills of offensive, defensive
capabilities for the everyday life in New Eden. Now in C3 the player emphasises
even more on his core skills while he identifies what he likes from the game.
To progress on Class 2 rank needs to:
Be able to do solo at least a Level 2 mission & Level 3 Fleet (Exam
challenge)
Have the core skills in the certificate planner at IMPROVED level.

Be able to fly up to a Battle Cruiser class ship. (Prerequisite)
ATTENTION: Think carefully of the path you choose ahead, think of what you like so far in the
game and go for this, otherwise you will end up changing many occupations and take more time
to pass on the next level. If you find yourself struggling to select a specific area go for a more
broad occupation that has many other choices such as combat mission runner for example.
Class 2 Capsuleer
That is an Intermediate level Pilot. The capsuleer has now decided on the path
he/she desires (see above) and trains accordingly to achieve the level aimed in
that area. His/her survival skills are increased overall.

related exam challenges.
