Originally by: Isakova Yes nice cut and paste.
Completely overlooking my point.
Ninja salvaging in mission deadspace is pretty much consequence free, not in an asteroid belt.
So is missioning in a deadspace. I fail to see the cause for complaint, unless it is perhaps "oh has it been 2 weeks since the last thread complaining about salvage "theft" already?".
If you don't want anyone taking "your" salvage, mission outside hi-sec.

Originally by: Junko Togawa Here's an idea.
1)Change all missions to mission deadspace, requiring the passing of an acceleration gate. 2)Make it impossible to pass an acceleration gate unless you are the person who accepted the mission or are fleeted with the person who has it. 3)Remove flagging for can theft on wrecks spawned in mission deadspace and make it possible for anyone to tractor them. 4)Make it possible to scan down and warp to wrecks.
Result: Those who want to keep their loot and salvage secure can return to the mission deadspace before turn-in and clean up. Those who do not can turn in their mission, and the scavengers can then fight amongst each other over who gets the leftovers.
Summation: Happy carebears get safe salvage, true salvagers get a new abundance of wrecks unlike any other, gankbears looking to grief runners get to emorage on forums for my lulz.
I accept this proposal as long as mission rewards and bounties are decreased proportionately with the reduction in risk. About a 95% cut would seem to be appropriate.

This. By moving all level 4s to lowsec, we solve two problems at once: no more free zero-risk ISK, and no more salvage theft problem. -----------

Originally by: Isakova I don't know what to suggest as its a fun game mechanic, but its completely risk free, ridiculously easy to do, and in many cases highly profitable. L4 mission loot and salvage without the investment in ships / time / standing gains/losses to get them. I tried it with my second account while running an L4 mission and it was easy. This is far too open for abuse, and is getting to the point where theres 2 ninjas for every 10 mission runner in a hub.
Never been ninja salvaged personally, so I think you're blowing it out of proportion. I have no problem with this, it's providing exactly the kind of non-ccp intervention solution I'd hoped for: in low sec you could shoot him before he looted your 10m isk module and fled, and would probably be carrying a warp scram. If there's really 2 /10 in your hub, start running with a scrambler. Or hire someone to loot for you. Or just continue to QQ that your isk printing, never exhausting resource of l4 missions got slightly less profitable.
*hint* fly a drake, they don't bother to scan down drakes, they look for battleships.

Quote: ecause noone can aggro them, and if they choose to steal some nice drop, they will be away before they've even lost 50% shields because no mission runner carries a scram.

Just think of the ninja looters as your tax for all the security you get by missioning in high sec.
Seriously, you have practically no risk when you set your ship up properly for the mission (heck you even know what to expect in every mission before you get there). Since there is no official concord tax for all their overpowered security (a good idea I read elsewhere on these forums), we can consider the ninja salvagers your tax men.
Grow a pair and live with it.

I used to ninja salvage back in my earlier days and one thing I've heard a lot from mission runners and pilots in local is that you can make more isk/hour if you just leave your unsalvaged wrecks and start a new mission. I've never really done missions myself, but in the month or so that I ninja salvaged in Sivala, whenever I entered the mission room there was usually no one in there or they were just finishing up. Sivala seems to be full of bot-like hardcore Raven mission runners, so they probably know what they are doing. So the solution is to ignore your wrecks and make more isk by ending the mission and doing a new one. Plus if you actually stick around and salvage you're just increasing that chance that someone will probe you down.

Many times it's sad to leave so much metal floating around, wondering if it will go to waste.
I think the best solution would be a timer on the wreck. Salvage it after a certain amount of time and it's ok, missioner present or not. Before that: CONCORDinated.
This allows us non-salvaging "I ain't got time" types have the option at least and let's the salvagers exercise a little patience that would be rewarding. Everybody gets what they wants, nobody has to be a weenie.

"Wah I want risk free iskies!"
There's risk in all aspects of money making in this game, even salvaging. The salvager is just the risk mission runners have to live with.

Seriously
Divide up space, hmmm, think about it for a sec, space simulator. Space, wide and open, do you see fences stopping you from flying somewhere? No, then why should the "Ninja Salvager/Prober" be stopped, he's really a rubbish collection agent, No?
Be thankfull CCP gives you rights to the items in the cargo of the poor Rat you just killed, Just because you pillage the wrecks doesn't mean it belongs to you.

Solution does not need to be complicated. Let me shoot at someone who salvages a wreck I created. Let me choose whether to engage or not. It might even force me to refit a little more PvP on my missions...Everyone wins.

The floating scraps that constitute the wreck are not yours. If you want to choose whether to engage or not, mission in lowsec or 0.0.

Originally by: Serra Polaris I've heard a lot from mission runners and pilots in local is that you can make more isk/hour if you just leave your unsalvaged wrecks and start a new mission.
This only becomes true when it is faster for you to blow up battleships than to salvage them. Salvaging takes 20 seconds (1 cycle). If you can blow up a battleship in mission-space faster than this, it's time to stop salvaging. Then again, when you have that level of firepower you're probably flying a marauder and are salvaging battleship wrecks as you go.

Yup, Its simple. They get the rush of playing the game with some risk (like every other thing you do in eve). You finally give them some excitement around their chosen profession.
And best yet, it stops people like yourself from coming to threads like this and using the the excuse "because CCP let it be that way" as an argument for why another way might not be better.
NO aggression for salvaging wrecks might be the way it currently works, but that certainly does not mean it is the best way. Just the current way.

Originally by: Isakova What amuses me is ninja high sec salvagers using the word carebear as an insult. Seriously, 0 risk mission runner griefing - how much more carebear can you get? Take that **** to low sec? Didn't think so.
If you only knew what griefing was. A salvager ending up in your mission isn't griefing. it's a profession. He does it, and moves on to the next guy. that isn't griefing.
the same guy following you into more missions, THAT's griefing.

I suppose, but there are other factors like how far away the wrecks are and whether or not you can actually salvage each one in one cycle. Sounds like you'd have one tractor beam and one salvager in the highs, which could have been used for more guns/launchers (assuming you can fit more).
Without tractor beams, ninja salvaging/looting an entire mission can take a long time even when zipping around in a frigate.

Originally by: Isakova I guarantee if you do 10 missions in a l4 hub, near half of them would be interrupted.
I guarantee that if you do 10 missions outside of a hub, exactly zero of them will be interrupted.
Now can we move on to the next topic please.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started. |

CONCORDED for salvaging a wreck? That seems a little inadequate. CCP should delete ther account, then send a ninja round to kill ther family.

Actually perhaps the best 'compromise' would be to remove salvage from mission wrecks altogether. It would have the merit of stopping these stupid threads on a subject that multiple CCP devs have already commented on with the same answer: no flagging for salvaging.

No. And I would know, because I do missions in just about all of them. I was last interrupted in July… (in Dodixie no less — hello fellas! )

Here's a better solution: stop assuming you're entitled to anything other than your insurance payout in a PvP game. If you can't beat the other guy to the wreck, even though you are first on site and even though know exactly when and where it's going to pop into existance, you're doing something horribly wrong. If you can't beat the other guy to the punch, you didn't deserve it. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

If you see a cov ops in your mission just lock it and warp out the main tank. Agro will then be divided between you and the ninja and he won't be able to cloak. Just make sure that the ship you lock him with can take a few hits while the cov ops either warps out or gets destroyed, an since this is high sec chances are the pod will sit there long enough to get into a blaster fit destroyer and pop his pod while he *****es in local about the loss of the cov ops.
