Recently, maybe for boredon, I tried something I didnt tried since years: to kill npc convoys coming out and in from stations.
To start I read this guide here: Linkage
Its pretty simple if you:
1) Choose a system with at least 2 stations, and all the stations from different corps to avoid mistakes
2) Choose a system without DED stations to avoid mistakes
3) kill only inbounds convoys, not outgoing convoys (easy to recognize)
You get trade items, pos fuels, some PI products aswell. In general a large amount of cargo capacity is needed.
But the value of the loot is very small. You also get a standing loss with the corp owner of the convoy.
It would be nice to revamp this very old feature of eve. Maybe add some random high value item, or special convoy spawn like how happens in the belts. Officers and stuff. Thoughts?

Used to drop faction implants. Was rather nice.
Got a snake alpha off one once, with loads of construction blocks.
I'd like to see them moving random goods. More or less anything. If it's market tradeable.
Probably wouldn't be too hard to randomise 100 items traded in that system in the last day, and then based by volume of items traded affix a % to it dropping.

In my newbie time i was wondering about those convoys, and why won't Concord shoot you for downing them.
But I guess it's because shooting convoys belonging to corporations feels just like acting on a war declaration. It's corp and capsuleer business, and Concord stays out of it.
That's what I like to think at least.

Yeah, that's a very good guide. If you follow it completely, it works perfectly.
I found that guide a couple of years ago and have followed it a few times. Different types of Trade goods as well as items for POS, Tech 2 and R&D resources can all be easily obtained from these Convoys.
I think the goods/items in the hauler convoys leaving the station will represent that specific corp. I haven't really tested this theory yet but I think convoys outbound from stations of R&D corps would have a small chance of dropping some production and invention materials. Industrial corps such as Minmatar Mining or ORE Corporations would have small chance of dropping Ores and Minerals, Navy and Military corps would have small chance of dropping munitions, etc.
As with all things in Eve, it needs to be done quite a few times on a regular basis to actually have a good idea of what to expect in the drop for that specific corp's Convoy.
Anyway, it's still an excellent guide as well as something new and different to do.
