Named and shamed? Pffft!
Should be named and praised IMHO.
Let 'em make their ISK the way they do - just because they choose not to go through the drudgery of actually chopping the rocks and you're easy enough to mine in empire into jet cans, live with it or mine <0.5
It's a risk you take like any other.

True enough, the trouble I've got with ore thieves is the simple truth that their are almost complete safe while doing it. ( and suicide kestrels are lame however they're used, be that to kill a ore thief or kill a indy in 1.0 IMHO ) ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

I would agree suicide kestrels are lame. That's another topic though.

Hmm an anagram of ore thief. One small problem though as she seems to be missing an "h". Maybe this would be a better name for an anagram for her. Cupid Stunt

LOL! With the current way things work you'll have to find them outside of empire, and I think you'll find the vast majority operate inside empire. Worth the Concord gank for nothing? And the sec hit? Nah, I'd withdraw the offer if I were you.

the thing i dont like abou tore thiefs are that they use the systems in place to protect them selves. when really the miners should be protected from them. i understand why they do it. and i accept it as part of the game but i hope in future they work out a system to keep them away from securer space. ie 0.5 and up so as not to disourage the miners, without hoom theyd have to get of there arse and do the hard work.

I am and always have been happy to accept the risk of ore thieves, if you use unsecure cans then having ore stolen is an accepted risk.
However there are two points that really gall me about ore thieves. Firstly they seem to have this huge problem with accepting that they are stealing. "blah blah blah jettison means you don't want it etc etc etc"
I have said it before and I will say it again, stop trying to argue semantics, and accept that it's about intent. The miners intent is to retrieve that ore and refine it after all it was their time that was put into mining it. The ore thiefs intent is to go around looking for ore in unsecure cans and to take it, knowing full well that the ore belongs ( in the miners eyes at least) to the miner.
My second point with ore thieves is that they invariably are in npc corps, so are not subject to facing war declarations from their victims. If you had the guts to make a corp and go around thieving ore I would have a modicom of respect for you. I would also badger my CEO until he warred you and I would share the joys of my party trick the cruise missile enema with you at every opportunity.
To sum it up if you expect miners to accept the risk of you taking ore from unsecure cans, then you should also make yourselves available for war invites from those self same miners should they choose to exact some payback. Until then I have no respect for your kind and view you as cravens.

Khali you summed it up well. They are a bunch of craven scum who hide themselves behind mummy concordes skirts. They could at least make a corp dedicated to it as was suggested. That way even if war is declared you could turn up in a battleship to steal it.
As for making secure cans redundant if they make it an offence to rob jettisoned cans, what utter b4llsh1t as the reasoning behind them in the first place is to 1: secure them so they don't get destroyed and 2: so you can leave other valuble stuff as well as ore in it.
Freetoffi you are right you do survive a kestrel firing cruise. I am reasonably impressed. I'll be even more impressed when you survive a caracal doing the same thing loaded with torps though.

Like any other - EXCEPT the thieves themselves. You keep glossing over that bit.
So, your expert advice is - the newbie who can't use a secure can should either subsidise your griefing in > .5, where he can't stop you from stealing from him, or he should go to < .4, where he can't stop you from killing him?
End yourself.

Quote: Orethief One... did you miss the irony and sarcasm part? Tenaj is an orethief.... as simple as that.... got a problem with that ? You like any1 else can take up any and all grievences towards Tenaj, in 0.0 with me or Playmate bunny, now stfu you alt muppet
this could have all been avoided by using the sacasm smiley since you can't use your tone of voice or expression, how is anyone going to know you are being sarcastic. i was thinking that tenaj was anti thievery as well untill he mentioned the sarcasm. and if i wasn't english i may not know wht sarcasm meant. pls use your smilies.

im sorry but i think the same for the strip miners. how can i effectively hunt for miners and gain some ransom when they hide in secure space? wht about my hard work? all kidding aside, there are PLENTY of posts suggesting that anything above a frigate should not be able to mine in secure space. so ore thieves are just keeping the balance imo. mine in less than 0.5 space if ore thives concern you, then you can deal with them effectively.

i think you would find that you would recieve the brunt end of the cruise missile. your CEO would be smart not to declare war on an ore thief's corp because you have to remember, you'd be in a belt with your mining lasers on, and the corp you are at war with (who aren't miners) would come in with their guns blazing.
i don't think too many ore thieves steal from newbs. why would they? how much ore could you get from a frig mining with a baasic miner?

sooo... you'd advocate no chance at all over half a chance? More to the point, the newbie miners could actually HIRE PROTECTION. Economy, interaction, bodyguards, etc.... the more players can mix it up in various ways the better. Hire mercs, mercs declare. Thieves arrive, mercs open fire, thiefscum scurry off to find easier prey, more mercs get hired, some mercs suck and the sometimes the thieves win, everybody's happeh
