When Missionrunners Fight Back
Once in awhile a missioner will think they're clever and try to stop you. The following is a partial list of what they do and how I deal with it.
-They pop wrecks. Not too much you can do here, he's hoping you'll leave. Just stay around and force him to pop all the wrecks. You wont make much, but this will **** him off and sometimes he'll just stop and realizing that having the loot is better than having nothing at all. Warping off when they do this just teaches missioners they can get rid of you easily, which is NOT something you want. Ideally, they'll feel it's futile to even try because you wont be leaving either way.
-Has an alt salvaging. Just beat the alt to the good wrecks. Either use your fast salvage ship to get to the good (The large) wrecks fast, or just circle around the guy and ninja the wrecks just before they come into his salvage range. Your ship should be MUCH faster than his.
I'm an idiot ehr sorry I mean I'm a missionrunner. Actually I don't know why so many people imply with their writing that mission runners and miners are carebears or some sort of people who are to nice to be fit for the REAL THING!!! ^^
Must be some sort of pre-industrial age Tarzan shout.
Sometimes I love to run missions or mining. Although mining days are very sparse among the year. I usually love to run missions or mine in times there is something I want to thing or listen to some music while having my hands and heads a little bit occupied. Since Missionrunning and Mining is so dull it is sometimes simply the perfect thing. OK, in case you don't understand the last senteces then it is time to read something different than my post. Please don't respond. Don't even try to convince me that gaming is something serious, where I have to be 100% concentrated on.
OK, let's come back to the state of the brain a mission runner typically has. Remember it's a dull job. So after a couple of missions his brain is so full of dullness that every attraction - even ones of evil minded people like salvage pirats or high sec suicide gankers - are highly welcome. So here comes the salage pirate and "HEY! That's my salvage!" Even if don't plan to salvage it. But why is this little bastard STEALING my hardly worked for salvage (ok, I don't have a salvager equipped, but this guy can't know that). "OK, although I'm a carebear and I'm too good for the REAL THING, I will allow this awfull manners of yours!" "YOU HERE ME?"
OK, I will start to pop the wrecks. COOL man. Even better if the little bugger is staying. I never intended to loot the stuff. So let's wait until the little bugger comes in salvaging range and then POP, hehe. Even better if the guy is not leaving after the first POPs. I meand that's a fun toy to play with. As an alternativ I bring in my ALT I fitted some months ago in order to salvage loot. The bugger flys a nanod destroyer with salvage rigs and Salvage at 5. You know how fast the bugger can salvage? That's even more frustrating. In case my little Salvage bugger is slower than you, well, there is this Large Tachy II canon here on my along with 3 other Large Tachy II cannons. They are so fast and precise with POPPING little cans. It's so - how shall I say - heart refreshing evil that I love it.
So I plee:
- Please attract more Salvage-Pirats
- Motivate them not to leave after the Carebear missionsrunner pops some wrecks
- Tell them to bring in their friends (one salvage pirate is really no challenge, but with let's say 3 of them I probably have to run an faction AB on my Nightmare, Golem, Pala or whatever I'm flying on that day).
