During this downtime i've gotten bored so I was wondering everyone's opinion on this subject.
For the last 2-3 week's I have been collecting loot from people who have unfortunately been killed in yulai in around that region. Now I consider it a job and I do it like 10-12 hours a day because I have nothing better to do. And besides a couple people who want to declare war on me or just suicide kill me I really haven't heard to much grief about it but I know it's frowned upon.
I personally think that once you are blown up w/e was equipped to your ship and was in your cargo become's public property. Even though you owned it at one time you were destroyed meaning it is now floating in space. So why shouldn't people be able to pick it up? I dunno i'm just bored and wanted to see how quickly this turn's into a flame-fest. Btw if you be nice to me I normally don't steal your stuff and i'll provide intel for you lol. See you in Yulai

IMHO, If you decide to war in a 1.0 system - then you run the risk of loosing your stuff.
If you don't want the Yulai looters to come out , don't fight there ...

Well i dont like loot thieves atleast.
Was in an exact situation myself a while ago in yulai.
We killed a heavy ass ship and some guy in a kestrel came and picked up all the loot while we were fighting off others and approached the can.
No point on declearing a war on some corp that only has like 4 members.
anyway, loot stealing is low and everyone knows that.com

Prefectly valid mode of gameplay imo.
Don't fit something to your ship if you don't want to risk losing it.
I think your profession is referred to as "salvaging", nothing wrong with it.

I just don't understand why you consider it low? It's in a cargo can and you were blown up...public property. I've flown down into .4 or lower to do what I do knowing the full risk that i could be killed. I consider low sitting 160km from a stargate and just shooting random people for the hell of it.

Strating a thread with the intention of starting a flame war is a bad idea.
In my opinion taking stuff from other people's loot cans when you weren't involved in the fight is to act like a vulture.

Depends, imo if its been left there i dont have a problem with it, but when a ship is under attack if you fly right next to it causing them problems when trying to move simply to take the loot before the victors of the fight even get a chance to look at it its kinda lame as its impossible for the people who killed the guy to do anything to stop you.

Yeah, losing the loot cause someone else got to it first is disappointing and annoying, but perfectly legitimate. Dying because the vultures were crowding in so close it stopped you moving or warping is just lame, and wrong. Doing that puts you beyond mear "salvager", as you are having a direct influence on the outcome of the battle, and thus helping to create your own salvage.
So, if you see my loot hanging around, feel free to salvage it. Just please have the decency to keep a sensible distance from me until I'm actually dead!

I've only bumped into ships a few times but i normally stay a distance away till I know there going down. I try not to physically interfere with the fight making it unfair. But if for some reason I highly dislike the person under attack I might bump them...but the new patch should solve the bumping problem.

Might get you some grief, but fair enough I guess.
I might be a bit irritated if you bagged loot from something I'd killed, but not particularly.
What ship do you use? A probe with mwd + expanders would seem the logical choice 550m3+ & Nippy.

Seriously, that's a great job ^^ Surely a better way to earn money and to use your time than crappy missions for solo agents...
"loots become public property" !? I take you don't say this seriously - you're a thief, or at least an opportunist, but that's not a worse job than any other... and under Concord's protection :/
anyway, great idea, and plz stay away from me

I guess it's part of the risk of fighting in a busy area such as the core systems.
Easier to find targets yes, but you're more likely to have your loot scooped if you die.
Taking the loot itself I wouldn't consider low as it's basically debris and free for any who can get it, however interfereing with the ships when they fight is (it's like the time when people would get alts in shuttles to orbit their ships to trigger concord or sentry guns when peeps used missiles).

I try to not loot someone elses cans, but when no one is around, i take all that i can get.
As for my ship, I use an Exequror.
Fitted with 3 Nanofibers in the low slots.
A MWD, Medium Shield Booster, Multispectral Shield thingie and a 10MN mwd for the mid slots.
High slots have a Heavy Pulse Laser and Focused Medium Pulse fitted Radio crystals for defense.
I can hold 780m3
Go 460ish m/s with AB
and over 1400 with an MWD
Tis a damn good ship to loot with.

Basically, I disagree with hanging around someone's mission spawn and looting their cans, that's lame as hell, as is looting from any other npc can that's dropped. If it's part of a mission, it should be left to the missionrunner to collect it, unless he offers it to someone else, because it's randomly spawned loot designed as a reward for the person who killed the NPC.
Player cans are a different matter. Be it jettisoned ore, or the remains of a dsetroyed ship, once that can is no longer in the safe confines of a cargo hold, it's fair game IMO. As long as you've in no way interfered with the fight that took place.
If people want to go around picking up cans full of modules after a battle, it's their choice.
Don't fit anything to your ship that you're not prepared to lose. Hence the reason i NEVER fit any of this fancy named stuff, like arblast/limos launchers etc to my ships.
If you fit it to your ship, be prepared for the possibility that you may lose it, or someone else may pick it up when you explode. Simple as that.

It might be valid to loot people's stuff, sure. I hold on to the idea that the spoils of war should go to the victor. It kinda ties in with those crazy notions of honour, integrity, and respect, but those are difficult concepts for some people to manage.
So yeah, go ahead and scurry around the battlefield looting while the war rages around you. It will make you feel special. People will respect and love you for it.

Unless of course a friendly force holds the battlefield afterwards.

I have no problem with salvagers, ore thieves or loot thieves, as long as they are in a corp upon which war can be declared. Its those who hide in NPC corps that I'm not a big fan of, but like I said, if you're in a corp that at least gives people a chance to exact their revenge then game on.

It's pretty annoying when I kill someone and the can is looted before I can get there. But out of all the things that annoy me in this game it's not that important i guess.
Kudos though for being in a proper corp, most of the people I come across are in npc corps which just seems quite lame to me....

Best. Quote. Evah.
IMHO, looting another person's can is low. Ownership of the can is either the person who lost it, or the person who killed the owner of the can, depending on whether the can owner can get back to claim their loot.
This is, imho, nothing more than ore theft on a more expensive scale. (As I tell my corpmates when they get sucky loot, "it all recycles.")
Still, it's a factor of the game and not something that CCP appears to place high on their priorities of things to address. (And since I haven't been in Empire, but briefly, for more than 6 months, I don't care that much.)

IMO, I belive salvaging is a perfectly legit form of buissness.
I mean in RL if a ship goes down in international waters it's cargo is still technecly the property of the owner of that ship. But if a salvage team get's there first they can bring it up and do with it what they please.
so to this I say first come first serve.
I can see a new type of corp comming out of this. A salvage corp could put it's services up for hire to either side of two waring corps.
they could go around the battle field picking up can's of either side and give or sell them back to there side for a price.
Could be very profitable.

Yeah I'm in the middle of recruiting as we speak because as you said it's a very profitable business. But I rather be hired by a corp who's at war to clean up for them so other theif's couldn't take it of course at a small fee to them...I think that's an excellent idea. Cause either you can contract us out or i'll continue to do what I do so it would be dumb not to try. Or at least trick us then blow us up :-)

Yes, its called salvaging, and its not low, wrong or bad.
If you get blown up, and some stuff is left over, well then the first to grab it is the first to get it.. Now you could always ask the person that picked it up, nicely, to give it back..

Yeah typical CCP, flagging will be added to Exodus preventing people from looting cans. Aye, lets mess about with other features before implementing what we were actually going to implement.
If I kill someone in a 1 v 1 I think I've deserved their cargo and visa versa. If someone takes something from the can I should be able to shoot them :)

It's not like the thief would give it back, especially since he knows that he can get away with it. Anyways, I don't agree with the idea of locking cans to the guy who made the final blow. What I'd like instead tho is to make the loot thief (npc or player loot) flagged as a criminal for the one who laid the final blow or possibly everyone who was involved in the kill. However, this would only solve loot thievery in empire since the thief itself also could strike a shot or two himself at the one being attacked.
I'm guessing you'd also need a change of the GUI to effectively show which cans that "belongs" to you or your corp in big fights. Somehow I think this can be solved though, that's just my 2 isk...

i hope when they bring in criminal flagging or ore theives that they leave fight loot out of it and all other standard non anchored secure cans. If you get blown up that cargo and its content become public property and its a valid occupation - ore theives on the other hand well someone is mining dunno even non criminal flagging for scavangers post battles and then ore theives being criminally flagged.

Looting cans from other peoples kills is fairly low but getting in the way in the rush to get at them before there even dead is in my view pathetic, ore thieving from 'jet' cans is fair enough as it's a game bug/exploit of sorts and if they were that bothered they'd use a secure can or mine in groups.
Stealing from NPC loot cans from someone elses Agent Missions is pretty despicable to, perpetrators should be criminally flagged so at least the rightful owner could exact retribution.....

I see no problem with looting. I've never done it unless the can was totally abandoned, and I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was done to me. If I lost my uber loot because someone took it from my can, I'd be pretty ****ed about it, but I don't see whats wrong about it.
I think it should be made into a profession, where you need good skills to get the most out of a shipwreck. Good looters would keep abreast of all the warzones.
Speaking of shipwrecks, I think when a ship blows up, it should leave behind an actual shipwreck, that can be looted for minerals, with any surviving modules floating around it, heavily damaged.

I could say the same about people who fight just to get people's loot, but...
I don't think killing a ship and grabbing its destroyed contents are spoils of war. It would be like in a naval battle where the victorious side quick speeds over in their destroyers to pick up the propellers and bridge computers from the sinking enemy. Its just not done.
The people who DO take those propellers and engines and such, are private salvagers that prowl warzones and take the worthwhile stuff from abandoned armored vehicles and such.
So yes, I don't see the problem with it...

I can't possibly imagine someone attacking someone else in a system as heavily trafficked as Yulai and expecting any loot cans to be left alone. There's always going to be someone who'll pick up the can before you can get it, unless you have a char right there with a cleanup cruiser or something.
My advice is - if you want to keep the loot, find your targets where you have a shot at some privacy.

I don't have a problem with ore thieves, because the miners are using an exploit that CCP has allowed, so that's fair game. PVP loot thieves (especially those who don't hide behind an NPC corp) are salvage artists, and that seems fair to me. You can always war dec them to get your stuff back. However, I have a problem with mission loot theives. I think that mission loot should be flaggable, not because of the value of the loot, but because some loot thieves will take mission critical items, which just fubars the mission runners.

Salvageing is fine, If you dont like it declare war. if they are in a noob corp, tough ****... suck it in - and remember its ONLY A GAME.
Oh also, anyone who seems to think 'loot theiving' and 'theiving' in general are bad - just want eve to be all cuddly and nice for them, your the types who do agent missions day in day out to gain faction bs's which youll never use for pvp, you also might be the die-hard PvP person with the insaneley over-inflated ego, who thinks that its his/her god-given right to take the jettisoned material floating in space from theyre target.
At least the latter of the two should realise...EVE is a harsh universe, the guy who has the biggest guns and the biggest ship, should kill for the pleasure of it not the loot, the loot is just a bonus - if a more cunning, faster person doesent get to it first.

Like I said before, maybe there should be an automatic right of salvage attached to loot cans. You pop it, and it's registered to you, your gang and your corp for the next, say, 15 minutes. Leave it and it's fair game. Anyone else sticks their nose in, and they're fair game.

Depends how you play really.
I try and be 'nice' so I have picked up some things when others have been destroyed and given them back. But, if you don't play 'nice' and take stuff, fair enough imo.
People have long memories tho, so if you take the wrong stuff - it might come back to haunt you.
But its not a 'grief' or anything.

i've done it myself tbh. if someone pm'ed me and asked for the stuff back i would gladly give it. i know it sucks because i've had ore stolen off me before and I was really mad.

In my view, salvaging is perfectly legitimate. In fact, because loot cans go boom after an hour or two, you're actually saving stuff from just vanishing, and my pack-rat sensibility say that this is a service to humanity in general.
But you're only salvaging if you do it after the fight is over and everybody has left the area. If people involved in the fight are still around, it's still theft rather than salvage.
And to the people who say that you shouldn't fit anything to your ship that you don't want to lose...that's just plain stupid. By that logic, all cool modules are useless because if they're cool, you don't want to lose them, so you can't use them. Of course you fit stuff you don't want to lose, and of course you try hard not to lose them. If you do lose them, then they're gone. If you lose your ship and they don't get destroyed, then you try to grab your can. If you can't grab the can, then you lose them anyway. You can't live in fear of losing everything. A super-duper-uber-named-special-rare-available-only-from-special-elite-killer-rats module is worth exactly zero if you're too scared to use it.

the point it was in empire - the way corps are simply going to empire to war - it makes any battles loot claimable by all - if its a problem engage youre wars in low spec space where no one else is able or even there to have the slightest chance of taking youre victory spoils - another reason to get the super corps and alliances further out to the rim.

I dunno if it's alt spies or loot thieves but XF gangs in Empire tend to have a group of loot vultures following them around
It's quite funny - it reminds me of those cleaner fish that follow larger fish around to pick off parasites etc.
Although, it means we now shoot cans rather than go pick them up.

it seems a valid occupation for some of the newbies in empire space that if the low sec and experienced corps and alliances are going to engage in battle - and leave loot behind then the lower level types new to the game can make some quick loot gains or ISK gains from selling loot by being scavengers
Perhaps a disincentive to corps and alliances going to empire esp yuali to do their fighting - if they go to outerrims well less scavangers out there and you get youre loot.

Is it just me that thinks this is wrong?
If you haven't had anything to do with said ship going pop, stay the hell away from the can.
tbh it's as bad if not worse than an ore thief.

true, but even your corp was involved once in stealing loot from kills
peopla just dont give a **** anymore so they grab the loot.
ive seen all kinds of people do it, SE xCA, FA, Xetic and everyone else
so personally i dont give a flying **** anymore, if i see a can that i wanna look in im going to do it and if its any good stuff in it that hasnt been grabbed yet then woohooo for me because im grabbing it.
a bit cynical perhaps but i really dont care anymore
99% of the people i see in this thread their corp has been stealing loot at sometime and are now putting on the "holier then thou"
all i can say is drive faster to your can or loose it because you will if you are to slow.

First thing I do is lock a can, if somebody not in my gang approaches it before I can get there, the can will go pop.
I dont mind doing it to other people, but I cant stand it done to myself

On the other hand. Consider this: Youre a 1 week old player, just completed noob missions and got your first frig. Lotsa colors nearby. "Wow! neat particle effects." and you get closer drawn like a moth. You stumble over a can with 20 Misk worth or more, and just **** in your pants. Joy.
Personally i think thats ok. Helping new players. Keep them away from drugs, real crime and cheap damsels in distress.

I stole 10m3 of Nocx from some Celest Pilot once.
He went all crazy on me and said i was going to be hunted down and stuff.
It was really scary 
Tbh i dont really care about it, if people want to make it their job then its fine. Like Ore theft crime is just another part of the game.
I always check cans whenever im flying trough empire, you never know what you might find.

Erm most of the 1 week old players are alts following the "neat particle effects" for good loot indeed.
