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.

I have not done any probing yet so I dont know much about it, but wont this mean people (yourselves included) can't probe wormholes out?
Or is that a different set of probes?

We dont care much for worm hole probing, and if we did then we wouldnt do it in a major mission hub where it will already be hard enough. As for other corps? They can do the same and shouldnt be wormhole probing in such high-traffic areas anyway.

Hehe... this is a good idea. Will make things more confusing for newbie salvage-ninjas.
The real "pros" will probably find a way around this though.

Suspect there could well be an issue with refreshing the deletion timer. Suggest simply placing yet another shuttle in it's place when it does expire. ---

Different probes, and different categories on the scanner. Simply disabling the "Ship and Probe" category in your scan would eliminate all the hits from dozens of scattered shuttles, while still allowing exploration results.

Wrong. The rest of your post is accurate, just remove it from the scan, but you can use combat probes to find wormholes as well. This is a good read.
Quoting the "probes"-section:
Core Scanner Probe I û The basic scanning probe, can scan out exploration sites and wormholes. It has a volume of 0.1m3 and a maximum range of 32 AU.
Combat Scanner Probe I û Advanced scanning probe which can scan out both exploration sites and wormholes, as well as ships, drones and structures. It can basically scan out anything that can be scanned (with the exception of moon surveying). It has a volume of 1.0m3 and a maximum range of 64 AU.
Deep Space Scanner Probe I û Advanced scanning probe, mostly useful for finding out what is in a system, much like the old multispectral probes. It has a volume of 1.0m3 and a maximum range of 1024 AU. -

We wil see at the end of march I suppose :) we built all the shuttles over the past few months with another 8000 in stock (which we give to like-minded corps) if this is the case and boarding the ship, docking up, relaunching and going back to the HM doesnt work then we will just start swapping the shuttles around.

This thread is awesome and shows just why, as a ninja, I so love the mission bears. You try so very hard to get CCP, through the game mechanics, to take care of your problems for you instead of manning up and doing something about it yourself.
Don't want me in your mission? Then 1) mission outside a major mission hub, 2) bring someone along to salvage as you go (you can even hire me for this very purpose for a small fee), 3) the old tried and true blowing up of your own wrecks (just be careful, I will stick around until you blow every single one).
As for the idea given in this thread, I just love how much effort you wasted BEFORE knowing how the new mechanic was going to work in its entirety, you win the internet.

Keep trying, the make your own solution is a lot better than the whining. I for one like the blow them up so they don't get them. They can say it's fun to watch, but it kills the profession as a whole. The "pros" will laugh, but new comers and half hearted ninjas will give up. I would like to see the ninjas man up and head into WH's to ninja salvage wrecks in there. However most of them are pretty cowardly so, I think that's not going to happen. The best will try I hope.
I'd just like to point out that someone doing this with too many shuttles is not a good idea. While creative, and awesome in theory, the scanning filter means it's useless and the spamming is excessive. Ninja's play by the rules of the game. If you are going to beat them, you should try stuff out that isn't overkill. If you win by means of breaking game mechanics they will have their way and you will get GM'Ganked. If you take a subtle and smart approach we will have them spending a little longer than 47 minutes trying to figure out what to do.

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".

I think this can be easily countered by all the mission runners dropping 10-20 Battleships/Battlecruisers at strategic locations throughout the system. That'll show those pesky ninja salvagers!

Originally by: Panzram 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".
There is. You can scan people down much much faster than they can run lvl4's. Sure you 'only' get the salvage, but in some types of mission that's where all the isk is. You run your lvl4's and do what? 1 an hour, one every 2 hours? I salvage and get 30-50 hits in the same time. I only make 50% of what you do per mission, but I get them done in 10 mins.
With the old scanning system I used to get so many hits I was giving them out to other salvagers because I couldn't do them all before the runners handed them in/salvaged themselves. (im going to assume the new one will happily cut that back as its taking be a lot longer to probe people out these days)

Ravens are still 90mill at most, yes?

Military experts are wondering if this will be Tchells next business idea.. "Sponsor a Ninja?" 
Edit: My ninja is doing well, I recently received a letter in my monthly update-pack which probably cost more than 3mil. Still, it's the thought that counts, right?

But wait! There's more! If you call within the next 10 minutes you will get two ninjas for the cost of one. That's right! We will double your order. But you must act now. Imagine saving two ninja children all for the low cost of only 3 million isk/day. That's two photos for your wallet to show all your friends. Be the envy at your job. Call now. 1-800-FAI-LTRY
Oh, and while you're dropping your shuttles or BS, we'll be jumping in them to steal them. Free ships everyone \o/

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?

We were mislead by someone on SiSi in our corp who told us they changed the scan so you dont know what your scanning for untill you get in real close. And the filters were basically just "ships". ----------------------------------------------- Mr.Kippling just launched a nuclear holocaust at third world countries! ...

Originally by: Master Matari 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.

This.
Guess you better use something a little more expensive. Like a BS or something.

There some, it's enuff for some of us when you factor in the tears and the hilarious failures such as this, I would think a goon would appreciate this perspective no ?

Perhaps one reason is that we don't like folk who deliberately create lag in a vain/selfish attempt to scupper folks who don't play like they do, besides, still seems like an awful lot of effort for someone who does not care about ninjas

this wont work at all, once a sig has hit 25% you can tell what kind of ship it is(battleship, battlecrusier, etc.) so you can filter it by those. also scanning mission runners is SOOOO much easier inside deadspaces, took me a average of 1 min to find anyone mission runner.

I'm still lolling about this. I just love it.
You could, you know, bring your own salavger along? Assuming you are a missioning PvE corp and you run multiple missions at the same time, she could do them all at the same time. I mean you'll probably sit there for 20 mins waiting for something to salvage anyway..
