Me and everyone in my corp totalling 54 people each dropped 10 shuttles based in intelligently chosen places (where we had a mission before) in our major mission hub. We have gotten friendly corps to do the same in our and their mission hubs totalling another 120 players meanning 1,740 shuttles beteen 4 systems. The idea is spreading fast.

This is because with the new probing system, you cant tell what you are scanning untill you scan in close. With all of these extra ships on scan, it will throw off, confuse and outright demoralise a vast number of salvage ninjas. We usually get at least 1-2 mission ninjas a day strike out corp. Last night we had none, and neither did any of our friends, so early signs that it is working, this could be down to the pirates getting used to their new scanners however, time will tell.

All you have to do is drop the shuttle, bookmark the location and every 20 days hop inside it again to refresh its deletion timer.

Do the same, get the mission ninjas to earn their own isk instead of stealing yours.

is there really any money in ninja salvaging? sounds like a lot of work for someone else scraps. i'm familiar with the loot and salvage from lvl 4 missions, and if you only get some of that after scanning someone down it all sounds pretty lose/lose. i saw the word 'honor' in this thread which i know is code for "no isk".

You know how long it took us? As long as it takes to mine 20k veldspar and manufacture 10 shuttles, and dot them around system from an Orca, in total including the mining and placing time, about and hour each. And trust me that isnt really much at all.

Okay it was a small oversight, we dont forum **** and whine about our mission ninjas, we know its a game mechanic and honestly wouldnt want the mechanics to change to stop or limit tuem. The ones that steal our loot we gang up on and kill. The ones that steal our salvage, we simply stop the mission and do a different one.

We misunderstood a mechanic, but still tried to do something productive about our problem. So why are people bothering to flame me when I am attempting to combat them on equal footing?
