Quite often while running missions (lvl 4) I will have interlopers scan me down and start to salvage my wrecks. This is theft pure and simple. If I take action against these thieves then CONCORD will (and has) destroy me.
This makes no sense because often the salvage is equal to or is more than the worth of the loot.
Pilots are stealing from mission runners without those mission runners having the means to stop the theft or react to it. This is a loop hole in the way High Sec is intended to work and it needs to be changed now.

waaaaaaah it is this late in the week already?
salvage is not yours. the loot is. salvage is owned by the guy who salvages first. you are late. well bad luck. get over it, its a few hundred thousand isk at most. compared to the millions you made in the mission.

While I have plenty of opinions on ninja-salvaging, the most relevant one is that I think it's completely fair game. Here are some ways that you can prevent or respond to it:
1. Bring a friend to salvage for you. 2. Equip a tractor and salvager on your mission ship. 3. Warp out of the mission and come back later. 4. Shoot the wrecks. 5. If you can tank the damage, just stop killing things and wait until they leave. 6. If someone steals loot and you're confident in whatever way you can do it: blow up his/her ship.
I have used any of the above tactics, and nine of ten times, the ninja(s) leave and don't come back. Sometimes you get a persistent one, but from my experience--even in Dodixie--these aren't very common.
So, while I can sympathize with the frustration, I disagree that salvaging others' wrecks should be stealing.

By that same logic the loot is owned by the person who loots first.
Clearly a moron like your self who doesn't understand that the very basis of his argument contradicts his point has no place in this forum.

1. Doesn't change the fact that he's not flagged when he steals our salvage and would just get my friend and myself blown up for trying to stop him. 2. I have both on my paladin. I can't salvage everything at once. 3. So that all my salvage is stolen? Seriously what kind of advice is that? 4. Thus destroying my salvage so that NO one can have it. Pure genius. 5. The point is that because it's not a criminal offense, CONCORD will kill me if I attack him. Can't tank CONCORD. 6. They are not stealing the loot, and I'm quite confident I can blow up their ship. They are stealing my Salvage. And I can't blow him up for that because it's NOT a criminal offense which is the point of this thread.
Thank you for your comments and your poor comprehension skills.

Oh rofl!:) Cute! :D
Now would you be sad, when i tell you that CCP stated that ninja salvaging is a wanted mini profession in this game? stated multiple times by different GMs?
sadly i always forget to bookmark the thread with the quote.
But i am happy you have a nice colorful language!:D Whine more please. *gets popcorn*

That time of the month? Get your tubes tied princess, it won't happen. This is exactly the arguement presented for can theft mechanics. I can guarentee that within an hour of such a change being made and you firing upon an 'interloper' you will have lost your ship and be right back here crying for a rollback.
This is pretty much as is intended. Salvage is 'junk' it's there for everyone, Devs have stated it etc etc. Go and google salvage rights or something.

Don't get me wrong; I don't like pilots taking salvage from my missions either. But, in your rush to point out what you perceive as poor comprehension on my part, I think you may have missed that my post was not really advice as much as reasons that I use to support my disagreement with your proposal.
In sum, I believe there are ways to try to protect "your salvage"; therefore, I disagree that salvaging others' wrecks should be a red-flagging or criminal action.

See here, here, here and here for recent assembly hall threads that failed like yours is going to.
It's all been gone over a hundred times already. Unless you have some new argument to bring other than WAHHH I WANTS IT ALL, then the devs will not change their stated policy that salvage beings to the person who creates it from the wreck, not the person who creates the wreck.

The problem with flagging them is that then you can blow their ship up, but then they can also come back with a pvp ship and blow your ship up also. And trust me their 10 million (at most) salvaging ship is worth far less than your 150 million (at least) mission ship.
If you really want to get rid of them just blow up the wrecks (as long as they are yours).
Personally my proposal would be to add more salvaging skills into the game. This would make it so that a better salvager would get more salvage. Which would in turn mean that mission runners would basically hire salvagers to salvage their missions since both people could get more out of it.

Yeah, many ninja looters think the same thing, looks especially funny when one of them gets instapoped and the second one cannot break my tank and dies horribly to drones or warps off in case he is a stabbed *****. In more serious mood: I've killed looters/gankers/salvagers and can flippers, and i got killed by them (when i made a bad call), it's solely my choice if i should shoot him. MOre destruction is good. Nija salvagers should need to protect themselves, and not just print isk, and it's even better if both sides call in teammates. Yes, some idiot died to a hurricane in a commandship because it was mission fitted, obviosly, such people deserve to die. People that nija-salvage in failfit Battleships/Bc's also deserve to die. Survival of the fittest/smartest/people with the most teammates.

If you don't like other peoples reply to this thread, your not gonna like CCP's
Per CCP Mitnal: Originally by: CCP Mitnal "Our policy on this is extremely clear... Salvaging is a mini-profession within EVE and does not constitute stealing."
Per GM Faolchu : Originally by: GM Faolchu Salvaging other peoples wrecks.... This is an intended game mechanic and is in no way an exploit. People salvaging your missions npcs or the player you just blew up are doing nothing wrong. The players are salvaging what is effectively floating rubbish in space and Concord places no value on this wreckage. Eve is a harsh place you won't always have everything go your way, its a do or die world and people do what they can to get along. If salvaging some wreckage gets them a few more ISK someone will do it, it doesn't matter who just blew it up.
Per Senior GM Ytterbium : Originally by: GM Ytterbium Players are still completely free to salvage other pilot wrecks at will ... and doing so is not considered as an exploit.
Per CCP Prism X : Originally by: CCP Prism X Why is stealing salvage OK? It's not. It shouldn't even be possible to move an item from your cargo-hold / hanger to another persons cargo-hold / hanger without opening a trade window. Before the salvage enters those containers it is not considered your stuff by the server code. Hence it's not stealing.

When people steal your salvage, they are flagged. Although why you would put your salvage in a jet can in the first place is a mystery.

And i say "Yes we can!" I say no to absolutely secure and effortless and skill less profession of ninja salvaging. Hell, miners have more risk then ninja salvagers! And they need to spend alot of time training to make anywhere near the amount ninja salvager makes.

What about a compromise: remove salvage from hi-sec rats. Problem is then completely resolved forever. Also gives a real reason to go to 0.0
Everyone wins!
Or how about my long-standing Plan B:
Make mission spaces lo-sec. Then missioners can freely shoot naughty salvagers before they can "steal" so much a single Charred Micro Cicuit!

Look. It is what it is. It's theft. So what?
I agree with the point that stealing salvage is allowed because it offers a mini profession. That's it. it is stealing but it is an intended game mechanic.

If you don't have salvage gear on your ship but the other guy does then he gets the salvage cause he made it. Sure, you made the wreak and the loot inside. And that is why he will get flagged if he takes the loot. But he made the salvage which is why it's in his ship. Salvage is never stolen from an NPC wreak.

No matter what ? really, so I explode a person's house and all that's salvageable from their house is mine, no matter what ? You may not like the argument I used but it's currently the argument CCP uses. Comparing RL to Eve fails hard as you have just demonstrated.
TBH I don't know why ppl bother, the only valid arguments about savage so far are really about balance, ppl should just stick with that --------------------------------------------

2. I had to pay for game time to train the skills and earn the isk to be able to complete the missions. Where is my free game time for creating wrecks and salvage that are free to everyone? |

I have to disagree with the OP because:
CCP has covered Salvaging in Detail, if you had looked, you would have known this.
Don't Mission in Hubs, when I missioned, I was never ninja'd, because I stayed away from busy systems.

That compensation is usually called 'bounty', 'mission reward', 'loot' and if you're doing more than 2 DPS also 'mission bonus reward'
Quote: 2. I had to pay for game time to train the skills and earn the isk to be able to complete the missions. Where is my free game time for creating wrecks and salvage that are free to everyone?
In those same wrecks, go fit a salvager like the rest of us.
I may not like the fact everyone can steal my salvage (intended game mechanics or not, I shot the rat, I took the risk, I should get the rewards, not someone with 3 days training for a destroyer and salvager. If I hadn't shot the NPC there wouldn't _be_ a wreck to salvage, hence the feeling it is mine, but not everyone agrees with me on that :P) as the salvage is a rather large part of the reward, but I've seen too many threads about CCPs endorsement to pipe up :P
Also: Why does everyone mission in the same system? This whole problem would go away if you'd just visit eve-agents.com and find a better system to mission in.

That salvage (and loot) wasn't on the screen before I shot the rats and created it. It is additional compensation for my game time. I'm simply saying that why isn't CCP compensating me to create these wrecks since they are generous enough to give them to everyone? Are their efforts more important than mine that it is given away? Is their money better than mine since I developed my toons to create it?
I don't want to fit a salvager to my ship. I want to be able to decide for myself if I let everyone have it by turning in my mission as the mechanics should work. In the current system, it is free to everyone because CCP says that it is. I want compensation from CCP for the real life money and time that I spent getting to the point where I can create it. I could also use compensation for the modules and ship that I use in additional to the ammunition and missiles. I am basing this compensation on their generosity of virtual wealth and ability.
When I complete a mission and return to the site with salvage ships and everything is gone, and there are four to six players (all red) cleaning out the next room I have a major issue with that. I created this and should be compensated for what CCP allows other to take.

No, stealing salvage keeps the salvaging profession alive, so you will have to deal with it yourself instead of whining for it. --- I smack just for myself. Allow faction cap boosters to be traded via normal market ! |

I agree with this. If you shoot a rat you should be rewarded in some way. Perhaps CCP should look at giving an ingame reward for shooting rats, perhaps in the form of ISK? Perhaps these ingame rewards should be displayed when you click on a rat so that you can see how much each ship is worth before you shoot it.
Another good idea would be to have some kind of quest system where an NPC asks you to kill a particular set of rats and would reward you with Isk and loyalty points if you were successful - perhaps you could even get an additional amount of Isk if you do his 'space quest' within a certain amount of time.
As it stands we have brave and noble souls like CLETUS DEADMAN shooting rats for absolutely no rewards at all purely out of a selfless devotion to keeping the spacelanes free of danger for the rest of us. Sir, I salute you! Eve needs more like you. --------------------------------------------------------------

You can absolutely be compensated: come back in a PvP fit and blow up their ships. Then you can loot probably half of what they've taken in addition to whatever their ship drops.
Hell, then you can even salvage their ship.

PLease tell me how is letting mission rrunners pew-pew stupid people boosting missions? I have heard this argument numerous times and i have never understood how more bloodshed is a boost to mission runing.

I would love to do that, but most ninja salvagers are in noobcorps, and don't have the guts to take loot.

Again, my point isn't that I can take back what is mine. My point is that the redistribution of wealth, my wealth, deserves compensation for my real money since it is generously provided to all by CCP. If a player exploits, it is called a violation of the rules and the punishment can result in banning. What is it called when the exploit is policy by the game designers? How is providing to all what cost me a viable policy?

As usual, I vote no.
If the mission runners are so adamant and protective about their wrecks then they'll stop whining and take things into their own hands by bringing a salvager in a high slot instead of an extra gun, or make a salvage alt.
Everyone gets to salvage wrecks. Get it through your heads already. - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

I see your point, and I think the root of the disagreement is in determining what is rightfully yours and what isn't within the game world.
With respect, the only thing that our real money (monthly fee) gets us is the right to log into EVE and control our characters. What we do with that, i.e. the ISK we earn, the salvage, loot, and ships we acquire, and the prestige we gain as we make a name for ourselves--none of that is deserved. It's taken in competition with all the other players out there.
So if someone tries to take salvage from your mission, then either you have to come up with a way to stop them or get it first or... well... it's gone.

Yes,we are communicating on my exact point. There are two types of people and two types of policies in this world and in Eve. There are providers and consumers, there are progressive and repressive policies. Like in life, consumers are always provided by progressive policies, while providers are hindered by repressive policies. Eve encouraging the salvaging profession is a progressive policy towards consumers (the people that salvage and loot from others). From my prospective, Eve has made me a provider by a repressive policy since my prosperity is allowed to be taken by others, and this was not by my choice.
To this point exactly, nothing is deserved. I used my play time to progress through training and isk for ships, etc. And my reward for it? A repressive policy that consumes my prosperity to give it to others.

I asked about kill rights on salvage during the Dev meet and greet in vegas this past may. The answer i got was salvage doesn't belong to anyone person so anyone can take it. Meaning there will be no kill rights on salvage ever and has already been brought up by previous CSM(s).

Originally by: CLETUS DEADMAN That salvage (and loot) wasn't on the screen before I shot the rats and created it.
Ummmm, maybe my overview is bugged.
Please, show me where the SALVAGE shows up on the screen after you shoot the ship?
SALVAGE DOES NOT EXIST BEFORE A SALVAGE MOD IS USED ON THE WRECK.
Your "compensated" by bounty when you make the wreck. Salvage is what is created by use of a salvage mod.
I can't tell if your an in-game troll, or playing an in-game (*word* for intellectually challenged person, either through poor education, or genetics...).
Demanding compensation beyond the bounty for shooting the rat is just greedy.
Originally by: CLETUS DEADMAN Again, my point isn't that I can take back what is mine.
Didn't exist before a salvage MOD was used on it, so it belongs to whoever used the salvage mod.

You know, that is a good point. The wreck wasn't there until he blew up the rat, so the wreck should belong to him, and anyone who salvages it should be flagged. Similarly, I've logged in after downtime or a server crash, and often I've been the first one to enter a system, which causes a traffic delay as the node hasn't been loaded. Ergo, I CREATED the system. I should be compensated for that, too, no? The system did not exist until I willed it into existence by attempting to activate a gate. So, where's my compensation? Should not the miners in that system be flagged to me every time they mine an asteroid that I made? It's just not fair, I tell you.

Let's do the math: Ammo: me Gun: me Ship: me Skill Books: me Training Time: me Standing: me Mission: me Risk: me Wreck: everybody
Hrmm... 9(1)= 300,000
Another way... Ammo: my cost Gun: my cost Ship: my cost Skill Books: my cost Training Time: my cost Standing: my cost (time = money) Mission: my cost Risk: my cost (if I don't make it) Wreck: FREE TO EVERYONE
This is reasonable?
Anything else is me being greedy?

Your perspective is moronic.
Bounty - Whoever places the most damage on the target (NOT yours) Mission reward - yours Time bonus - yours Loot - Whoever picks it up first (NOT yours) Wrecks - NOBODY Salvage - Whoever runs a salvage module successfully on the wreck first. Standing - Anyone who aggresses the NPC
Nothing in this game is riskless, stop trying to make Lvl4's a risk free isk machine.
You have to take the chance to make the money, that's all there is to it. Stop whining. ♥

So people losing salvaging ships to NPCs =/= risk?
The real money in ninja salvaging is both the salvage and the loot. For those doing nothing but salvaging, and making money off nothing but salvage, I'd say the risk is about equal to an npc corp Lvl 4 runner who ignores anyone in his mission flashing red. ♥

It's definitely not risk free; I've had several ninjas get popped in my missions.
The best one was when I started a L4, killed one or two ships, then warped out to AFK for some coffee. I come back in ten minutes later and there's a T2 frigate wreck, complete with a set of sisters combat probes and a cov ops cloaking device. Not ironically, I salvaged his wreck for a 12mil piece of T2 salvage.
Very generous ninja, if I say so myself.

How exactly does one manage to get asploded in a mission space when you're not even running the actual mission? --Vel

1. sitting in a perma tanked ship in recon 3/3 *giggles*
2. warping out and letting the other guy get aggro. i did warping in and out with a guy for 10minutes. he was quite persistent in coming back. so i went to do a quick hauling job for a friend before finishing the mission.^^
3. triggering a respawn. a typical ninja salvager ship doesnt react too friendly to a respawn in blockade lvl4 ;)
