Suggestion -- get an indy in the field, or buy a real cargo container that locks, or get some nads and carry a gun.

"or get some nads and carry a gun."
Well, that seems to be the issue most people are complaining about...
you can't *use* your gun.
And no, jetted cargo is not fair game, abandoned cargo is. If you sit down on a bus or something, and set a bag you're carrying next to you, is it fair game? What about if you're carrying stuff you've just bought from the store and set something on the ground to open your care, can I come and take that from you, and have it be up to you to try and stop me?
THAT is what people are complaining about, because that is what people are unable to do because of the simplistic way in which the police view things.

Blinder, you have what is known as a priori knowledge of how the police will act. Therefore, you should know not to abandon, er, jettison your cargo if you want to keep it.
It is simply the price you pay for mining in 1.0 space.

The funniest thing to do - go up close to some corp mining operations w/ a frig and destroy the container they leave (usualy 1 or 2). Fun stuff!

Then they should sell some decent containers with decent size and volume.

Got to agree with Gold brick, those cargo cans are fair game. According to an ingame discussion I had with a gm they are specifically set up to be open to all sa that mass miners have a down side to thier actions just like everyone else. Dont want to risk losing your ore? go back to base and empty your hold instead of dumping it in space. Thats just like putting your crap out on the street because your porch is full and expecting it to be there in the morning lol
Here's my take on cargo can theft.
"Let me attack the dang miner who is stealing ore from my asteroids! Thier mine I tell ya! Mine! I just havnt gotten around to taking them back to base yet!"

Thing is it doesn't matter if it's 1.0 or as low as 0.5 space. You cannot protect your containers from theifs looting. |

no hes right, it is fair game. but so is pirating, podkilling, corp looting, etc. just because its fair game doesn't mean its right and it doesn't mean it will go unpunished.

Gold brick (and any of the other thieves that agree with him), your arguement is retarded and utterly stupid at best.
Stealing is a crime - period. Just because my property is 10 feet away from me doesn't change it's ownership.
I have no problem with your ability to steal it, that is not the issue. The problem is, I can't defend it.
Why is it when the scum of the game want total anarchy and lawlessness and if anybody says different, they are automatically carebear? I mean wtf, mining and associated activities are INTEGRAL to this game. Has nothing to do with being carebear.
Being a murderous thief doesn't make you "non" carebear. In fact, alot of these pirates are more carebear because they want to act with impunity and never suffer consquences.

Well said Beseb....
The Problem isn't the theiving. That is great for the game... The problem is the lack of an ability to defend your stuff when a thief is stealing...
Packing guns is not the answer.. because the Police are on you immediately...

Or you can have someone loadup some scramblers/webifiers/energy drains, and when mr buttnugget, tries to steal your ores, web him, scramble him, energy drain him, and make _him_ fire first, then blast away.
with the proper equipment, you can energy drain a MOA's full cap in about 20-25 seconds. of course, it's also a good idea, to be prepared to take some hits from them, until their energy is down.
If you make yourself a big enough pain in he butt, whenever they try this, they will leave you alone. They are lookign for easy steals, not soemthing they actually have to work at doing.

<< And no, jetted cargo is not fair game, abandoned cargo is. If you sit down on a bus or something, and set a bag you're carrying next to you, is it fair game? >>
Depends on the bus you're taking. I know a few that if you sit down on the bus and let your significant other sit on the aisle seat, (s)he is fair game.
Get real people. You attempting to enforce morality and ethics. You can't seriously believe that everyone will be as morally and ethically upstanding as you and say "Wow, a cargo pod full of kernite and only an indy sitting there. It wouldn't be right to steal from it, even though stealing is allowed and there are easy enough precautions to take against theft..."
Where's the guy with the Cluepons? This makes about as much sense as walking through a bad neighborhood at 3am, naked with a $100 bill taped to your forehead.
From my personal viewpoint, I'd never steal out of an ore container. Mostly because ore takes up too much space and it's not worth the effort. But any container I leave in space while killing I consider fair game for anyone to loot from. Even if I'm just busy killing something else. Just don't be shocked if I pick you up as my next target :D

Takes you 48 hours till you can fire upon them, untill then your containers are gone. 24h vote + 24h delay.
Sure, one can take the hit, but non-pirates wanna get + not -. |

I know of one corp that has declared war on this turd, so whenever he comes into our space he doesn't get to steal much because we are hunting him. Anyone who wants to join in the hunt should declare war on The Spacing Guild. AFAIK he and his alt make up the entire corp.

just get some real gunz ... blast the a-hole whose stealing from you then blast the police out of the sky... simple as that .. if you have high enough security status (mine is 10.0) the police will stop comin once you blasted hem. then jump back to another system wait 5 min and the police will have forget you... If you can't believe it can be done ask the 2 a-hole i podded today in .8... didn't even take armor damage ... police are a joke as it is. you have to be fast tho otherwise you'll get target jammed :)

"Don't be a chicken and take the Sec hit"...
Sure, great answer from people who've been playing before it was nigh-impossible to get your Sec up and are sitting on 8+ rating.
I like a challenge as good (likely better) as the next person. But killing thousands of pirates that give me 0.0000001 rating doesn't go anywhere soon. And to buy a Cruiser just so I can take out rats isn't my style of play.

Well I belevie that takeing from the containers is a total legit method of stealing. I do think that they should make some method so that you could defend them easier though. I for one love the thrill of those cruisers chasing me through space while I run off with the loot :)
Here's my take on cargo can theft.
"Let me attack the dang miner who is stealing ore from my asteroids! Thier mine I tell ya! Mine! I just havnt gotten around to taking them back to base yet!"

Good news guys, honest players once again got ****** by CCP.
Use of stasis web modules and jump scrambler modules are now classified as an offensive action (in the same way that activating a weapon on someone is).
That is from the patch notes. So now there is no way at all to stop the ore stealers. Now they can do as they please. Crime does pay in eve.

I wish you could declare war to JUST *one* person - The Thief. I know many corporations that are good in general but have one person that is not acting good. Also most of the thief scums are part of the NPC corporations.
There has GOT TO BE a way to defend yourself against the scum who just have a WIN-WIN situation when going in to the mining fields stealing stuff that does not belong to them.
It is not right that the defender gets hit if they attack the thiever. In real life, if you would come to steal something I could atleast call the police, and in many countries it is even legal to defend yourself with a force against such situations. Here, you can do NOTHING without being marked as a "bad guy" yourself.
I will kill every thief I see.
Pod ya later.
