The Eve Principles of Interstellar Conduct serves as a reminder to all Eve capsuleers to behave with good conduct in Eve space, and acts as an order to take corrective actions against those who are in violation of the good conduct listed herein.

Eve is a conflict and combat rich environment.  While good conduct is always important to maintaining a healthy community, this is especially true in an adversarial environment such as Eve.  In service to ensuring a healthy community in Eve, all capsuleers, corporations, and alliances are expected to adhere to the following:

1. With the exception of faction warfare, active war declarations, actions against criminals (a.k.a. "flashy reds"), disciplinary actions for violations of this mandate, or where there is mutual approval of further conflict, aggressive actions against another capsuleer should be limited and not exceed what is reasonable:
   1. Bumping another capsuleer shall be limited to 15 minutes or less per bumpee per day.
   2. Destroying a non-military ship in high security space is not permitted.  This includes pods, ORE mining ships, cargo ships, and freighters.
   3. Kills shall be limited to two ship kills, or 100 million in losses per day -- whichever occurs first -- unless said capsuleer is in low or null security space.
   4. Aggressive actions of any kind against a capsuleer should be limited to two days per week unless said capsuleer is in low or null security space. 
2. Language that is offensive, gloating, or condescending towards an adversary is never appropriate.
3. Spamming chat channels is never appropriate.
4. Scamming other capsuleers is never appropriate.

Members of a corporation or alliance are considered to share the responsibility for the actions of their corporation or alliance.   Therefore, actions may be taken against any member of a corporation or alliance if said corporation or alliance is in violation of the principles of conduct.  Any member not wishing to share such responsibility with their organization should disband from said organization.
