If you could scan down the actual wrecks or scan down the missions, I bet a lot of people would go for mission runners only if the wrecks that were abandoned were cleared out already as it's 1) safer and 2) easier then trying to race to get the best salvage etc.
No, ninjas aren't only after the salvage. The salvage is more like a side benefit to the tears you get. |

When a somebody else approaches a wreck while you are running a mission, wait until they get close to a wreck then pop it. Repeat. You get the mission and bounty cash, they get all the fun of running back and forth only to be denied their pittance at the last moment again and again and again.
We are not denied. The fact that we cause you to pop your precious loot is payment enough. Please continue the practice. |

You're there for the salvage, you get no salvage. That's the very definition of denied. 99% of the time the only things worth looting have such horrible salvage they're not worth turning the beams on.
I don't really need the salvage tbo. I just like the sport of it. I'm new to probing, so I still enjoy the skill of pinning someone down. I also like to see if I can extract some tears, especially in local. Why just the other day I had someone get so worked up they compared my salvaging of "their" wrecks to the raping of children. D:
Getting salvage is just a side benefit for me. That surely isn't the case for ninjas who are working by a profit motive, but it is for me.

While you may not give a hoot for your salvage, most MRs really, really do. They give so much of a hoot it's unhealthy. Scary even. Some think that by a quick chest-thump and a blown up wreck the ninja can be discouraged, and will leave the MR in peace to salvage in his own good time.
Most ninja I know react in much the same way I do. If you pop a single wreck, best be prepared to pop every last one until the end of your mission :)
Or, barring that, they'll react like Kahega. Whip out their specially-fitted high Alpha snipe ships and deny you your bounties AND wrecks :D
I agree whole with the first part of this. For the second day in a row, a MR has cried in local and compared ninjaing the salvage to ****. You have got to be kidding me! He then threatened to contact a merc corp to take out our salvage rifters. D: I can just imagine how hard the mercs would laugh at him if he tried.
Every ninja I know will also pursue every wreck when the MR pops them, which is funny because most of the time we will only go for the large wrecks, and possibly mediums. If the MR had just let us salvage what we wanted, he/she would still have gotten all their loot and some salvage too.
And to the stealing of bounties... Oh do the tears flow then.

I had to access this page to give someone new to probing a good guide, so I thought I'd give it a nice bump.
Just reading through the OP again, I think you should put in some ship fittings. Here is my rifter fit. 1,300m/s and can hold all the salvage I get unless I get metal scraps, but I usually use the directional scanner to make sure I get good wrecks so rarely need to jet crap salvage.

This is all but not easy lol. In about a hour, i managed to discover a yelow dot, a battleship. But once i started focus the probes on it by reducing the range, (and the time i needed to adjust all on the dot) he vanished. I found a lot of double signal strenght but never two spots one above the other like in the video. Well at the end, about two hours probing in Rens/farn and other systems, i got nothing. And i have some skills as well.
Not easy but very interesting.
You are simply lacking skills. It shoulnt' take more than 5 days to get astro IV, and all the support skills up to III, which will make things much easier for you. Using sisters gear with a probe bonus ship also helps out.

Originally by: Chronospin... i warped in his mission. A nice wrecks field over here. As a gentleman, i convoed him in private to speak a bit. I said " i probed u so i purpose u a deal. U keep ur loot and the medium/larges wrecks, i salvage all the littles ones. Deal ?".... Anyway i did what i said, i salvaged only the little wrecks. [/quote

I don't get the point of Astro IV. 7 probes might be useful for some very specialized initial probe formations...but I never use more than five (and that's just for the initial scan)
Astro IV gives you access to a skill that give a 10% bonus to strength per level, which is probably the best support skill of all.

Nope. Astrometric Rangefinding gives that bonus, and is available once you have Science at 3. Astrometric Acquisition gives -10% scan time per level, and is available at Astrometrics 3. Astrometric Pinpointing gives -10% scan deviation per level and is available at Astrometrics 4.
A, then it is pinpointing that I was referencing. Maybe not the most necessary skill, but a nice support skill to have just the same, (whatever deviation is).

As it is you are just a game mechanic. and a rather useless one at that.
That's just, like, an opinion, man.

Updated the scanning video. Now with fixed scanning bugs, ****tier audio quality, and less fail all around!
Still got some fail in the video though. You should make another one and keep doing so till you have where you don't mess up the explanation.
