Edited by: Murehk on 06/09/2006 15:42:38 Hi, I'm planning on becoming a theif, not just an ore theif but planning on sitting in a hgily popultaed system cloaked and whenever it looks like theres gona be a kill wait until a can appears on scanner, warp there and nab it.
I'm also however planning on stealing missions loot, would this be feasible... ie to bookmark major missions, fly in in an exeq or probe from smaller missions and nab all their loot?

Looting missions would not be profitable for you. Most of the loot is crap, and if you want mission loot (Miner I's) etc. you might as well run missions yourself. Plus you can't just bookmark major missions. The places the agents give the missioners are completely at random and the only way you could find their deadspace gate or warp-to point would be to probe them out, which would be both time consuming and tbh not worth the effort. Plus, then you get there to steal a can putting yourself at risk.
The other idea, you plan on sitting in lowsec cloaked and waiting for a pirate to attack a miner then swoop in and steal the can? Hmmm, will only get you and your cloak blown up by that same pirate. EDIT: Oh, you want to sit in Jita and steal loot from corp wars under people's noses? Well that can be done and it can be profitable, but prepare to have alot of enemies and to be shot at by war-ready people. You can use game mechanics to your advantage (most wartargets are shot near stations right as they pop out) so its not hard to steal the can and re-dock. Like I said though... You won't have any friends. If you wait somewhere and scan, you'll never make it in time nor will you be able to determine what that can was from (people jettison stuff all the time).
Sounds like you want to be mischievious... Why not just be a pirate and gank people?

I just feel like something different from out and out ganking whilst still being ebil. You do get tones of tags from missions and i could just reprocess it all down. You do get some good stuff from lvl 4's though dont u, like someone I used to know got a taychon beam (sp?) and some decent expander from 1 lvl in a mission. In general is it really that bad though?

Looting recent pvp kills is probably more profitable than looting somebody else's NPC mission. In the latter case you need to probe out the deadspace area which is boring unless you intend to kill the guy there (I recommend asking the mission runner to make bm's instead, many people don't loot their missions).
As for PvP looters. Most people see them as the lowest of the low so stay in a noob corp or prepare for war.

Tbh, mission runners know where they get their best loot and you won't be able to find them unless you probe them out. If you've ever used probes they are hard to use and expensive and generally boring unless you are probing out a wartarget. Much of the isk from lvl IV's comes from the bounties on the rats, so you can't steal that unless you get a missioner's wallet.
And generally yes, mission loot sucks. The most I've seen out of a mission was probably 5m in mods that I would actually sell the rest gets reprocessed. Most of the time you get absolutely nothing as well, so for the most part you'd be wasting your time doing nothing and being poor.
Tachyon Beam? K, Tachyon Beam Laser I... Look it up and tell me how much its worth (AFAIK, not that much). You're looking to loot faction mods man. The only way to feasibly do that is to kill other people by being a pirate.
BTW, I just set your standing to -10

Just for reference, you missed half a quote.

Hang around market hub systems and swipe what the suicide gankers take out at gates. Chances are there is a good reason for them to offer up a ship to condord to kill that itty V.

go fly around 0.0 into deep alliance space, scan for POSes with no force fields on. warp to the offline pos, steal all ships. train lots of spaceship command skills. you wouldn't believe the stuff they abandon in 0.0..

My advise is go to jita sit on the gate and watch the pirates that attack haulers, once you get to know the pirates which will not be hard get close to their pray and steel from the thiefs them selfs.
Make sure your hauler is a badger mark II or better just in case they attack you adfer you stolen from them. In most case they will not be able to as concord will have seen to it.
