Re'taka Minmatar Republic University	Posted - 2008.08.15 11:32:00 - [31] Originally by: Arana Tellen Originally by: Re'taka nope cant fliping isnt an exploit, and it is fun tbh, though i have more fun putting a remote shield rep on my amarr frig and useing it on nubs who think im attacking with a blue laser, and shoot back that would be newbie griefing, get out there and find some real targets pilot! I was board at the time, plus i got a few older players too, they just didnt pay attation i guess, best time was locking and repping a hulk, he ran and left 5 harvester drones behind, was a nice payday.
Korizan Oort Cloud Industries Ultionis Quietus	Posted - 2008.08.15 12:42:00 - [32] Can flipping is NOT an exploit. But If you leave the can open on your screen they can't flip it without you knowing it. But also always watch overview and local. now if they do flip your can or just don't leave you alone. Well keep in mind when they steal from you they are flagged to your ENTIRE CORP (if your not in a NPC corp that is) So if you take it back now his corp has you flagged. BUT if you just kill him his corp can do nothing about it. So pick your battles and choose wisely in your actions. Sometimes it is not worth it some it is.

But also always watch overview and local. Also if you name it you will then see a name change if the flipper does not do his job thoroughly. Originally by: Korizan So if you take it back now his corp has you flagged. BUT if you just kill him his corp can do nothing about it. Exactly. Never take the ore back. Count it as a loss and learn from the experiance. Or call your corp mates and have some fun then retrieve the ore. Slade DesuSigs
Rezaa Pandemonium Technologies	Posted - 2008.08.15 14:11:00 - [34] Can flipping may not be an exploit. But you have to watch what you do in newb systems now a days. I got accused of can baiting in a noob system even though I didnÆt can bait at all. What I did was OLD trick. What you do it go to a station undock. Jet a can and rename it ôYOUö. Then lock the can and wait for your prey to undock. (something that will give good loot/salvage) When that nice and juicy BS undocks target him then bump him and start orbiting him. THEN start scrambling the can that you renamed ôyouö. Then sit back and watch the LOLZ. Because they normally get confused and flip out that you are actually attacking them. So they fire on you and get popped by concord. Wait for concord to pop em and collect your LOOT. LOL. CLEARLY this is not can baiting. ItÆs more like NOOB baiting. LOL

LOL I'm pretty sure this is also considered an exploit, so I would avoid doing that in the future. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3)
Rhatar Khurin Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.15 19:50:00 - [37] Yer, that's even worse than can baiting and can cause peeps to get banned. There's been a ruling on it some times ago.
Ackuula	Posted - 2008.08.15 23:01:00 - [38] Edited by: Ackuula on 15/08/2008 23:01:51 Load up a BS with a few mining lasers, proceed to shoot rocks until local flipper comes around. Web, scramble, and NOS his ship and then let your drones slowly slice him into little pirate pieces. Loot wreckage, listen to said pirate whine in local and call you names because you won't go for a rematch (aka him in a much larger ship with 2-3 of his friends who finally responded to his crying in corp chat), rinse repeat. Not at exploit, an opportunity for fun!
Luzz Bightyear Caldari The PeacekeeperZ	Posted - 2008.08.15 23:17:00 - [39] Rezaa you bad, bad man. ------------------ DO WANT (I know it's a miner and not a gun, I'm lazy )
Biolaja Tista Gallente Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2008.08.15 23:18:00 - [40] Leave a can in any asteroid belt and call it "Veldspar". When someone actually starts mining it, you know they are a macro-miner and you can petition them. _________________
GallenteCitizen20080615 Gallente Federation War News	Posted - 2008.08.15 23:31:00 - [41] why bait them ... why dont you just steal it =P you annoy them and make a profit Quote: down near the station bio mass plant you can buy burgers that are 5% pork and 95% CRAP

I have never can baited in a starter system! yeah, "5th pleading" fail there - -

Not at exploit, an opportunity for fun! God that's adorable. I relish the opportunity to attack a mining battleship. I think I have a rokh killmail laying around from when I was still flying a wolf. Just because you found a stupid can flipper doesn't mean he wasn't flipping an equally stupid miner (you).

Unless they are in a Dread and named Chirbba. 1: LOL and 2: you cant mine cans... and macros arent stupid anymore... piwating isnt allowed in our corp but macros arent people, we see them as npcs so valid targets but they no pick from my cans anymore
