the risk of you not having a salvager on your ship is someone else getting the salvage, since it is SALVAGE and therefore belongs to the first person to SALVAGE it, it is not an agressible offense, the risk they take is the same risk any miner takes
Every word I read, that you type, makes me feel like my IQ is dropping 1 point.
Their risk? What is it? They dont get salvage? That they DIDNT WORK FOR?
While I, who actually to the time and effort to kill said ships, gets screwed over?
It is nothing like miners, who actually took time to work for their ore.
Bryg, I hate to be the one to pop your bubble...but there is much you don't know about Eve Online.
For example, there are four factions within Eve. Gallente, Caldari, Minmatar, and ....those other weird guys.
Players may elect to work for the faction that they created a character for; thus NPC corps are born. Here's a great analogy for you:
I'm an American. I'm not charged a tax to be an American (or factional race in game). If I were to create a business venture, it would be subject to tax by local, state, and federal governemnt. Tax in game is solely represented by corp tax; IMHO, corps should have to pay factions to operate in their space; with the only exception being the drone regions, which no faction controlls.
If I take a federal or military job, I get some benefits - for example, I needn't pay federal income tax. In game, by electing to serve DCMI, IE the Caldari State, I'm electing to serve my faction, and I do so with distinction.
You, my friend - are a simple player. Your have a player corporation, and have not the ability to negotiate or declare war on the greater factions in Eve, nor their workers. In the same real life scenario, Wal-mart does not declare war on the United States because an American stole something from a Walmart. Walmart would contact the government (local police in this instance) the same way that you do so in game - with the exception that such arbitration has already been executed through the use of flagging and timers.
In short, there's more to Eve that you pew-pewing and looking for targets; there is a vast and rich background that you should explore, and perhaps learn where each of us belong in it.
And if you're looking to pew-pew with someone in an NPC corp, look me up. I'll leave half my slots empty and fight blindfolded, just to make it fair.
