Wreck Looting, and who can loot it.

Looting yellow wrecks, a now fun thing to do, and then haul ass away before you get blaped.
But what if you kill something, and you don't want it to be yellow to someone you know?

Here is the situation of faction warfare wrecks to my knowledge.
If a person in faction warfare kills an enemy, that wreck will be white to the person that killed it, his corp mates, and other people that were apart of the kill.
If a person loses his ship, his death wreck will be white, available to be looted by ANY fleet members.

I want wrecks that I killed, to be able to be picked up by a neutral alt. Currently this Alt is in fleet, and in an alt corp I have set to +10. The alt was not apart of the fight, and is there to scoop loot only. If my ship dies, my alt can pick up the loot because he is in fleet. If I kill an enemy, my alt has to go suspect, or I have to abandon the wreck on my main that killed it, and then scoop it on my alt before someone else takes it, as it is now blue.

Is there a way to make it so ships that I shoot can be looted by my alt instantly without having to go suspect?

How to suspect loot like a motherfucking ninja:

1. Put the wreck between yourself and a station.
1a. Tractor a cluster of them together if you have multiple wrecks.
2. Start aligning to the station. At one point you'll be at max speed and within loot range of the wreck.
3. Loot.
4. SPAM WARP! SPAM IT! SPAM IT! WHY AREN'T YOU SPAMMING IT?
5a. Dock and enjoy your loot.
5b. die, because you failed to execute a simple maneuver.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

You can't use a tractor beam on a wreck that belongs to someone else, they can only be used on your own wrecks and abandoned wrecks. Thus no suspect flag for looting wrecks you can tractor.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Never tried to tractor them together, I admit. I only ninja looted single wrecks and only when they had something interesting inside.

Like this one time I found an industrial wreck with eight Tormentors...just lying around in Uedama.

When a player ship is destroyer the original pilot remains the owner of the wreak. Anyone who shot that player without going flashy, most likely has a limited engagement timer or wardec against that player and thus can then loot the wreak too. You cannot transfer that wardec / limited engagement timer temporarily to a neutral alt for the purpose of looting that wreak.

What's the big friggin deal about going suspect? You don't lose standing or sec status so just loot away! If you then get killed because you went suspect then you're bad and should feel bad.

There is no mechanic for doing that. The best is abandon it, and be fast.
