I don't understand what the big deal is. This game is set up differently than most MMOs. These are the rules. If you don't want someone else to salvage your mission wrecks, then it's up to YOU to deal with it. You figure out exactly how you combat it and go to it. If you succeed, all that stuff is yours. If you didn't, then it's still a free-for-all.
If I go into low-sec, I do so knowing that I am fair game for hostiles. I've been blown up (and podded) once. Yeah, I made note of those responsible, but I'm not getting irate over it and taking it personally, because it's just how the game works. Same with can flipping. I jetcan mine when I'm solo. So far nobody has stolen my ore, but it might happen. If it does, it does; I made the choice to mine that way.
By the way, I love the guide. I don't ninja salvage, but it certainly has told me how to use recon probes (I already do exploration so I knew about the scan probes) and how to set up a salvage ship. Good hunting to you all!

Scanner? Yes, definitely worth it. Salvager? Perhaps. Cargo hold is low, but aside from metal scraps salvage is tiny. You can cloak again in the mission space as long as nothing is within 2000 meters, but there are often structures, rocks, or even gas clouds that prevent you from cloaking.

Question: is it not more profitable to ninja salvage in 0.0? Like the old days when you would ninja mine crokite in a Probe near Empire!  Seriously, there are plenty of zones of 0.0 where ratters fill entire systems of large wrecks. Of corse, you may be chased by interceptors but that's the whole risk vs reward thing.
"Ninja salvaging" really only works in hi-sec. You get blown up if you do it in lo-sec or null-sec.

I consider it a reflection of the real world. We have laws, but people still break them when they think they can get away with it. Some of them are very good at walking the line of technicalities that allow them to break the spirit of the law but not the letter. It's one of the things I really like about EVE. Yes, I feel that the people doing this are *******s. Do you know how many *******s there are in real life? |

Recon is a storyline? I got that as a level 2 mission. Yes, it's faster than 20 seconds. I think it's closer to 13-14 second pulses, and they get continually higher damage.

Vigil. Definitely the Vigil. Not only does it have a fast base speed, it gets a 5% speed bonus per level of Minmatar Frigate skill. Adjust your fitting as necessary for capacitor needs. I'm not sure about the total energy storage on it.

Interesting guide. Question - there's obviously people like me that don't always take time to salvage their missions. In the motsu's and dodixies of the universe, to only advantages I can see you gaining doing it this way are:
1. You enjoy the carebear tears (admit it, you do).
2. You gain valuable practice probing, so that at a later point you can do it outside of empire with darker ambitions in mind.
I would think if your motive was just profit, you'd simply broadcast your services for salvage, skip probing and warp straight to the runner, etc. Besides, you might get to loot it too that way. So why ninja salvage?
Your question is answered by statement #1. They enjoy messing with other people.
