Gooniversity is a new player friendly SIG dedicated to making your first few days months years in EVE as enjoyable as possible.
Gooniversity was started in 2015 as a Special Interest Group (SIG) for those looking to train new players. Initially, the idea was to expand upon Goonswarm’s training group ‘Little_Bees' which existed mostly as an in-game channel into a support group and knowledge base for new and returning players. Today, Gooniversity has become a fully-fledged training organization that supports both Newbees and returning vets with a variety of resources, programs, and guides designed to help move them along their Eve journey.


The goonfleet.com forums are a scary place with hundreds of thousands of posts. The wealth of information now available to you is unrivaled by any other EVE resource, you have just gained near unlimited access to the combined efforts of thousands of players of the past 12 years. However as you can imagine, when you have so much information scattered around a forum with little structure things begin to get obscured, outdated or lost in threads within threads. Our main goal is to improve the newbee experience by consolidating all old information, and concentrating all new information into this one, easy to access SIG.
=== Gooniversity's Structure ===
Gooniversity has a fairly large department structure, designed to help prevent single points of failure. We also encompass multiple SIGs under the banner of "Education". We encompass new player training (under Gooniversity), Repswarm, Linkswarm, the Goon Wiki and FC Development.


We have done our best to ensure that all of the information you will need as a new member of The Imperium will be available here, and easily accessible through our use of dedicated megastations. There are megastations available for Free stuff for newbees, Instructor led classes, Information threads broken down into specific topics and Gooniversity events!
