What you do is sit cloaked off of a station with probes out of sight. You scan the mission ships for their ID number, its good all day. Then when you want to compete with them, you simply ignore all the other results from your combat scanner probes.
This. Not many people know about this fact ... And that's how I find some people instantly within system filled up with 200+ active mission runners in space. Does not matter where you are when someone gets your ship ID. It does not change, even after down-time, even after re-docking, even after changing ships.

So, I've conducted few tests (again), and here are the results:
After I've scanned the ship, I've got the Signature ID. It seems that this Signature ID is tied to specific ship and a player. Once when you assemble ship it seems that it creates the new Signature ID which is in space (SigID = f(Character ID, ship)). I haven't tested out what will happen if you give your ship via the contract. It would be nice to see if it's possible to get the same Signature ID if you just contract the ship to other user who will then fly it in the space.
* Scanning the ship, I got the ship ID = #1.
* Checking the Signature ID after dock/un-dock: the Signature ID is same (#1).
* Checking the Signature ID after ship change: the Signature ID is not the same (#2).
* Checking the Signature ID after coming back into the first ship: the signature ID is the same (#1).
* Repackaging the ship has influenced the Signature ID - new ship ID is #3.
* Restarted client (session restart) and the signature is the same (#3).
* Changed the system, and the signature is the same (#3).
* Returning back into original system and the signature is the same (#3).
What is left to test?
* Check the Signature ID after server down-time. Pre-Odyssey the signature has stood the same, but I'll update this topic later (tomorrow).
* Check the Signature ID after changing the ship owner (via contract, and without repackaging). Since we know that repackaging will change the Signature ID. |

It's not ship ID, to be more exact it's Signature ID.
Also, it does not reset after down-time, as I've said:

Although, I would just like to correct myself and change Ship ID into the Signature ID.

Have you tried repacking the ship?, if i remember correctly that will give it a new id.
Post above: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3277458#post3277458 (EDIT: removed dot, lol).
I just have to test sharing the same ship without repackaging.
But probably, the Signature ID will stay since I think they're assigning a key which is not found within the list of occupied signatures. |
