EVE New Citizens Q&A

Will I be flagged a suspect or killed by Concord if i shoot someones MTU in a mission?
I see all these shiny mission running Tengus and they seem easy to kill if you suck their capacitors with some ship and use drones.
If I shoot their MTU would that be engagement with them? Seems like a fun way to play the game tbh.

so its like this can flipping i read about last night? just doing it differently?

so picking the right ship to use is very important it seems

Mission flipping or more accurately "suspect baiting" is the endeavour to attain aggression (and thus the right to murder) from a I'll prepared foe.

Shooting mobile deploables is a fantastic way, it gives a suspect flag and if you can kill the damn thing before they scoope it you get a shiny killmail (yeaaaahy \o/ ).

The whole process is a lot like fishing, from experience I can tell you the likely rate of "bites" will be around 1 in 8 on a good day.

The trick to it is presenting yourself as a vulnerable scavenger/opportunist whilst actually haveing every advantage stacked in your favour.

It's fun if you're the patient sort and exemplary exercise for potential mercenaries as you need strong scanning skills (and get plenty of practice),
you get a wide variety of targets to sparr with ,
You get the hebejebes out of your system as you will likely be fighting thing you have no business fighting (think frigate v battleship)
You get some impressive killmails and a massive boost in confidence

Here is an article written by my old martini drinking CEO.

I remember reading this when I started ,long before joining this alliance and it works, I'll mail you some of my success if you're interested.

Edit : on this subject I will almost always make time to chat so if you see me online feel free to poke me or open a convo and I'll happily share what I can.

I was laughing at that article.
"Convo the bear.. Perhaps you noticed a leak on his warp coils and needed to detonate his ship to ensure it didn't accidentally harm others. "

This is very funny

I'd appreciate some fits, thanks!

probably not for high sec baiting.

Yeah he does, I'm shocked anyone will bite on it but apparently the bears just aren't afraid of it.

New generation of idiot I think

So you just show up in their mission, and act all noobish and take from their MTU?

as promised,
downgrade the modules as and when needed
