It is even funnier when you are 'danger salvaging' (salvaging while the mission is active) and having a great ol' time sucking up some smack-talk laughing up a storm in local about them not being able to to a darned thing about it.
Then getting scrammed, webbed and popped by the mission rats! 
Happened to me and some great LOLz were had by all. 
Even MORE funny was toward the end of my death-throws I offered the mission runners all their salvage back plus a 10mil "ransom" if they would kill the damn frigates. Ofc they didn't and rousing entertainment was had by all in local.
Top that for sheer entertainment value!

Ok, flame me if you must but this was fun.
Scan down a level III mission, warp to it, cloaked of course , find it just beginning with a noobish player in an NPC corp.
I zip back to station, grab the trusty 'cane, return and got to popping NPC's left and right. I got a "Gee-whiz, thanks for helping me complete my mission, mister!" in local which I ignored.
I don't know how the bounties work there, if they got shared or not, but I recieved a decent bounty paycheck (that's paycheque for you over the ocean fellas) for the work involved.
I immediately go to station, grab salvaging stabber and got to work. I think, "what the hell..." and get to looting also. He did return in a small salvaging/looting destroyer but all that was left was 4 wrecks which I continued to loot and salvage. To add insult to injury I left one unsalvaged, but looted, wreck.
I thanked him in local and left.
Not one word of smack. Not one word period. Total silence.
If the bounties were NOT shared, he MAYBE got 2-3 or 4 kills. I sucked up the rest.
So pretty much all he got was the agent payoff and I 'Ninja'd' almost the entirety of his 'in mission' earnings.

Got together with Tc and the infamous Suddenly Ninjas gang for the first time last night.
Was most fun running with these folks. I couldn't get a mission runner to smack for the life of me even though I was looting the wrecks and toying with him, after he decided to sic his drones on me, by not shooting at him and just popping his drones.
So I invite the SN gang to join me in my efforts of clearing this cluttered space and still no smack talk.
So, mission runners, please set your local comms channel to 'Auto Smack' and provide us some fuel to continue our noble cause of keeping our space free of wrecks cluttering up the place. Thanks!
Oh, and pre-edited to add:

Both are true, but I'll let you guys decide which one works better in this instance. (Three wardecs in three short weeks is proof that this is a very lucrative profession.)
Supported by CCP as well, I might add.
"Players are still completely free to salvage other pilot wrecks at will, no matter if they belong to the same corporation or not and doing so is not considered as an exploit." - GM Ytterbium
o7 Kahega, and thanks.
Was trying to find an acceptable way to bump this post to see if I could stir up some new interest in this noble profession when I saw the above post.
How did I let that slide by me. Tc perfected it?! HA!
I was doing this afore she was outta diapers! War Dec's are not the measure of success in this line of work. Just, as Tc mentioned, it is only a measure of how lucrative.
Sorry Tc, 'tis I, Dotard who hath perfected this fine art.

Agree with the Fathoms. Although I drop 3 or 4 so that they do overlap as much as possible.
This increases the strength of the scan in the overlapping areas. IIRC.

The tears in your post were tasty. Maybe not delicious, but still yummy.
Originally by: Steyr Daghan
...try this simple test: when you get scanned out on a mission and the griefer starts salvaging you wrecks, blow the wrecks up before he gets to them. If it was about the ISK he'd leave (obviously since there are no iskies to be made) but he won't. In fact he will enjoy it even more since he now got proof that you are annoyed....
True, true. I do quite enjoy it when the runners get to popping the wrecks. They would rather lose the lootz, which sometimes is worth a whole lot more than the salvages, than let me just salvage it. So when this happens I will approach every single wreck just to be sure they pop 'em all.
Originally by: Steyr Daghan
Try it, and ffs stop pretending this is about ISK rather than boosting feeble egos by ruining other peoples fun.
I'm creating fun for me. It is fun for me. I really don't give a damn if it's fun for you. I'm not here to increase your enjoyment of the game, just mine.

It has been demonstrated lately that Suddenly Ninjas are more like Badgers than Carebears.
They mind their own buisness doing their own thing. But go poke them with a stick and see what happens.
I just joined SN last night. First thing I did was go poke their biggest Badger with a stick and guess what happened? That fat little fur-ball had teeth!

I never get what's so fun about salvaging.
Unless it makes more than 20mil/hour you'd get more money just by doing another mission at the same time, and it wouldn't be as boring.
It's not just the salvaging. Looting adds fun because it adds danger.
1v1 is purt-near non-existant 'out there'. When I do get aggressed and I run off for the PvP ship there is a 9 outta 10 chance I'll get a 1v1.
Engaging in asshatery is always fun.
Then there is the times you warp in cloaked on a probe-hit and find a Phat miner mining away in a mission belt in a jet can. I don't know if it is a bug or what, but you can (or at least I can(?)) sneak up to the can and open it without decloaking. I BM the can, wait until it is a fraction to the full mark, warp off and return in an indy and swipe-0-matic.
And don't forget the War-Decs. Those contribute boat-loads of fun.

Use a Stabber. Slap 4 salvagers, a tractor (for can towin'), and a cloak. AB, 2 Lrg shield extenders in the mids. Inert stab/nano the lows. Or stick a cargo expander in there if you plan on looting.
Fast, agile, much larger hold for the loot and can take a beating from the mission runners if they try to suicide you and can take rat fire long enough to GTFU if you happened to not notice gaining some aggro.
Salvage frigates are for poo-poo heads.

The tears found here are sweet!
As the whiners so often whine they cannot do anything to the ninjas while they are doing their thing allow me to re-itterate;
If it is me who comes into your deadspace you have that opportunity. I loot every lootable wreck whether you are there or not. Everytime.
Only had MRs shoot at me three times out of the countless number of missions I've invaded. I returned and popped the ships of two of them. The third was in WH space, yes I ninja salvage/loot in WH space with you 'plex runners' present. The whines/frustration there are extra sweet as since there is no bounties the only profit for the risk, time and trouble for you WH plex runners is the loot and salvage. I take that and you did all that tanking/spanking/ ammo wasting for naught and I fly away with all your "truely hard earned" profits. HA! Yes the plex-ers always shoot at me but it is extremely easy to tank your BS's and BC's and make off with all your goodies.
Point is, I and many other Suddenly Ninjas consistantly loot the wrecks giving you ample opportunity to 'fight back'.
And if you stop shooting and just sit there tanking, I will get bored and return in my own ship and get to popping the rats. Ninja bounties will just add more ISK to my wallet, when I'm done with the rats I'll return to clean up.
"This thread has been bumped as requested by the longest winded whiner here and it will aid in the recruitment of more Suddenly Ninjas thus increasing the numbers of these delicious tear filled whines."

However, if you are deliberately setting out to annoy/aggreive/upset another player, then there is a real life consequence to that. The intended real consequence of your actions is to deliberately provoke a negative emotional reaction in another person for no reason other than your own enjoyment.
And sometimes I have to do exactly this to provoke the MRs to take that first shot. If I am after the destruction of the MRs ship (to deliberately provoke a negative emotional reaction) then sometimes I must annoy/aggreive/upset them to provoke them to active their weapons on me.
Does this make me a bad person?

Seriously, if you want salvages, just ask. I'll be more than happy to let you take all mine. No joke. Just follow me around and take it all. No sense in going after someone that actually wants the wrecks when you can tag along with someone that doesn't need em.
Now where's the fun in that?

Asking permission removes all the fun. Where's the fun in that?
Looting and salvaging OPMs (other peoples missions) is how I keep my wallet afloat, however 9 out of 10 missions I enter I'm looking to get shot at.
It's one of the only ways to get a 1v1 or 2onMe with a greatly decreased chance of being blobbed. For a primarily solo player getting blobbed is no fun. The potential is still there, but not 100% certain as if I entered low/null sec space.
I make dang-good isk when I need isk, but, for me, it's more about the PvP. Not PvB(lob) or PvG(ank squad). Yeah, it happens sometimes, but comparitivly rare.

A tractor is useless if you are scavenging other peoples missions.
Stabber FTW. Decent cargo hold for the lootz. Enough slots to fit 4 salvagers and a couple guns (or small launchers) to pop those pesky warp scramming or webbing npc frigs. Also for popping the MR's drones if he sic's them on you.
Couple Lrg shield extenders to tank aggression, an AB, coupla nanos and a inert stab. Salvage rigs and there-ya-go.
