Originally by: Jen Kobayashi First attempt at this the other day, I managed to scan down a battleship in about ten minutes - probably took longer than necessary as I'm not entirely familiar with the scanning interface - and warped in on a room full of shiny wrecks waiting to be salvaged. Much to my dismay there was already someone else in there ninja'ing the guy's wrecks. Swiping wrecks from under mission runners' noses is one thing, but I won't stoop (quite) as low as stealing from other salvagers...

Very interesting. Many of the Leaders of Ninja Salvaging and the Devs of CCP have stated it is not stealing, it is first come first serve. If you got the the wreck first and salvaged it, it is yours.
Just Think how long Ninja Tears can fuel your pilot. Verbal abuse from a Ninja Salvager being out Ninja Salvaged would be near priceless. Every Plan lasts until the first shot is fired. "I have a Plan, a good one." Generally means it is not. If Yellow it get a Fellow Killed |

And sometimes the Suddenly Ninja, they suddenly die badly:
Suddenly Ninjas, Suddenly they are getting spanked
But i agree making some money by ninja salvaging seems fun, tho i wont do it.

Confirming that we are STILL reeling from the loss of a few ~500K ISK salvage frigates.

I don't get the point of Astro IV. 7 probes might be useful for some very specialized initial probe formations...but I never use more than five (and that's just for the initial scan)
The only point to Astro IV is because it unlocks Astrometric pinpointing - which is a good one to have.

A, another 10 days and I can have Pinpointing 5 along with the other 3 skills at 5, will it be worth while to train it?
P.S. U sound like a fellow Canuck, lol.
You definitely do not need astronomics at 5. Really don't even need it to 4 except for the pinpointing skill being unlocked.
I am a Canuck. ;0

For ninjaing, probably unnecessary (though maybe helpful).

Still got some fail in the video though. You should make another one and keep doing so till you have where you don't mess up the explanation.

Yeah, I might do that tomorrow. Or when I'm feeling less lazy.

Stealing? i don't think you get the concept. Nor you or he is stealing mate. If you think you are stealing you think your more gansta then you really are. you're just a garbage man :D

Very good guide indeed, in fact since so many ninja thread poped up recently, I'm greatly interested and decide to try it out myself.
While I am against griefing tactics, maybe in a week or so I might just as well enjoy those tears shot at me........
mission bears, watch out.

Very nice guide, Kahega. Maybe next you can write a guide to scamming with contracts and abusing the trade window for fun and profit :)

little hint: - do the video - write down whatever you want to say - use some nice fitting (low volume) background music
and now the kicker:
- have your sister or GF actually TALK the text. i tell you: you're gonna have gazillions of visits on your video and nothing but good comments ;)

Scan the hit with your directional scanner (it will take you all of a few seconds to align the camera, change the angle and the distance). If there are no wrecks there, there is no point in going there (if you are only after loot/salvage antics), go about your other hits instead. You can check that hit in another minute or so, if you have nothing else to do, to see if there are any wrecks. If not you can safely assume it's a mission like recon or one of the others where you don't actually have to kill anything.
This.

Just a thought here:
Ninjas might be thieves, but mission runners are, in fact, murderers.
You are KILLING people for your money.
So don't get so high and mighty, eh?

When I started salvaging, I scorned those who did it for tears, and I still kinda do that... but then again, having someone who just earned some millions in a few minutes going ballistic because of some ATBs is more fun than I thought. Great guide!

Greetings to the board.
I'm new to EVE and have found that Ninja Salvaging is the most rewarding pursuit for those of us who like fast frigates and the thrill of zipping into a hot mission zone and getting out w/ your ride intact. Only the sweet, sweet triumph of snatching the salvage out of a "tractor beamed" Large Angel wreck can surpass it. Monkey grabs peach!
Seriously, if the missions and agent system wasn't so horribly flawed, I might not have stumbled down the "dark path", but I'm wealthier by a long shot because of it. After the "hey Meat, fetch the perfume for my sister will ya?" mission, I was incensed. Shouldn't there be a "tell Agent to go have sex with herself/himself" button?
Thanks to Kahega for the exceptional materials provided for those of us who have just started and also to those who've offered up outstanding loadouts. The Slasher, Rifter, and Stabber builds have been quite profitable in our operations even if we are loyal Caldari pilots.
A question to the board, currently, I have the Heron, Rifter, and Stabber in my operation. Sometimes though, even the Stabber is a bit light and you end up jetting out only to return again, etc. Say you'd like to have a ship in your tool bag that's an Attack Salvager. The idea is maybe 2-3 Salvagers, a Tractor, and about 1/2 your other high slots in weapons. Of course you'd need a buddy along to help perhaps, but the idea is that, sometimes these PVE guys just drag things out for intolerably long combats. Kind of like a cat toying with a mouse while my wingman and I orbit at safe distance (with popcorn and beer of course). Just kill the darned pirates already so we can all get on with it. I fancy a Caldari or Minmatar ride to send out on these Humanitarian missions? Would a Battlecruiser be fine for that. Or do I have to trot out the ubiquitous Raven like everyone else? Builds, ideas, and loadouts greatly appreciated.

A tractor is useless if you are scavenging other peoples missions.
Stabber FTW. Decent cargo hold for the lootz. Enough slots to fit 4 salvagers and a couple guns (or small launchers) to pop those pesky warp scramming or webbing npc frigs. Also for popping the MR's drones if he sic's them on you.
Couple Lrg shield extenders to tank aggression, an AB, coupla nanos and a inert stab. Salvage rigs and there-ya-go.

The tractor beam is on the Salvage/Looting ship (the Stabber). I use it tow my jet can around while my wingman salvages/loots the other ships in his speedy Slasher. When he fills up, he jettisons, and I tractor his jet can on over. We're typically a two man operation so having one tractor is incredibly handy and efficient in that sense.
