EVE New Citizens Q&A

I se a bunch of these carriers and trader ships and they are said to hold items but i was curious on the whole shebang of these

If i attack one will concord show up or theat faction/corps support?

If i attack what are your suggestions. (Escape, tank, weapons, backup...etc)

I am very close to doing it but i want to make sure that maybe a drake could sit there and be fine and what not

You could always take a low cost frigate and attack to see what happens.

In general:

High-Sec... you will loose your ship to Concord after attacking.
Low-Sec... you may loose your ship to your target's escorts after attacking.
Null-Sec... your target will be gone before you even start attacking.

Actually, the null-sec statement is a bit too much. Null-sec corps/alliances usually have very good intel channels and they know what, who, and where something is long before the potential target even realizes they are being tracked. For instance, knowing what is flying around 5 or 10 systems away is common place.


I would do as I first stated.. make sure your clone is updated then go shoot it!

If they are NPC haulers look here I guess not much changed since that thread was created.

If they are player ships and you are not at war with them or they are not suspect/criminals (I cannot imagine indy/hauling ship undocking while flagged but people do things) you should read on suicide ganking. In short you will get blapped by Concord and there is no way to tank/evade it because that is bannable offense.

I ran through a few last night after reading this post. No Faction or Sec Status hits, but pretty solid NPC Corp standing hits. If you do this, make sure you aren't blowing up people you want to deal with later.

I think I blew up about 4-5 convoys and the value as shown in my inventory at the end was about 7.1 million. Most of that value came in the form of Oxygen and Water, the rest of the commodities are fairly low value.

It isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, but it was something different and not totally devoid of value. I am sure I spent less than a few thousand on ammo and probably could have saved it all and just used my drones. A Nereus with a few attack drones, a few salvage drones, and a tractor could likely minimize some of the time I spent docking/undocking by doing it all.

If anything it provides role-play value more than anything, blowing up rival corporations. Thats about it.

Recommend avoiding outgoing NPC haulers, as the station sentries will shoot at you.

You can attack incoming NPC traders though.

Be aware of standing loss.
