EVE General Discussion

Why do you take salvage from missions, taking income from people?

What you do is immoral and low.

You should have kill rights on people that take salvage from wrecks you or your corp owns because it is the same as taking the loot out of the wreck, but using a module to do it.

Oh gosh, this makes me laugh. Salvaging for the majority of level 4's is not worth THAT much, especially considering the time effort it takes to salvage.

And they do it because they have lower SP, but can still afford a frigate with scan probes and a salvager for a lot more isk than doing level 1's gives.

Stop doing 4's in major mission hubs.

Try doing Khanid or other smaller factions if losing salvage is that important to you.

Salvage is crap money unless the alternative is lower end missioning. And worse you have to play the market to even hope to make a decent amount.

Salvage alts are crap compared to fitting for DPS and assisting your main.

This thread never gets old!

Dude Im totally running a locator agent on you and coming to hoover up your missions. Hell I might even steal from you as I don't reckon you even have the balls to shoot.

There seems to be two incorrect thoughts here...

1) Salvage is actually very valuable, especially if you produce rigs to sell.
2) Salvage from 4's is VERY valuable because of the increased amounts from battleship wrecks.

Now stop smiling you whining idiot...

3) Salvage is game for anyone.

Fact is ninja salvaging is more fun than anything else - but it does actually produce some income. Those who are very good at it (and there are corps built on the career - yes, it is career) can make quite a bit of money off it.

Salvaging a single lvl 4 in a destroyer, or even a swift frigate (remember: salvage takes very little room so it's easy to get in any ship), can reap a lot of money. Because you're using a quick ship, you spend less time salvaging and more time scanning. However, those that make this a profession and utilize gangs of ninjas and a powerful scan ship can make easily 100+ million in a matter of hours, and if lucky (like a Worlds Collide or Extravaganza), that much inside an hour.

Thanks to the fact salvaging is nearly totally safe (the occasional angry bear will foolishly kill a ninja and find a swarm of much larger and better equipped ninjas on them) the career is pursued by quite a few. Most people are actually bored players waiting on a fleet op or they do it as a past-time compared to their normal career, like industry or mining.

Fly Safe - and Move Somewhere Else Numbskull.
Much Like Flies and Dung, if you stay where a heap of Mission Runners are...

If salvage is 40% of your missioning income, then you be doing missions wrong. You, and the other schmuck who thinks lvl4 wrecks are worth the time and effort it takes to salvage them in the first place.

If you salvage lvl4 mission wrecks then you are sabotaging your own work by tying an iron ball to your ankle. The ninjas are actually doing you a favor.


And before you ask "if its that worthless, then why do they bother?"

Because its either valuable a whole lot more to him then it is to you, in the case he is a new player who cant even do lvl2 yet (a very rare case, i might add) or because he just wants to make you miserable and see you cry (99% of the cases). Just the way youre doing it now :)

Oh, look, it's this thread again. How...pitifully adorable.

No, it isn't: Amorality =/= immorality. Welcome to EVE.

Manifestly wrong, according to CCP's own explicit definition, and repeated referrals to same ad nauseam/infinitum.

1/10 as you got me to respond, but...Next!

Look down on others much?

Let the man have his say, hows it hurting you, no need for personal attacks.
