My husband and I like to mission with a fleet of 5 ships, one of which is a noctis which cleans up while we kill stuff, another is an interceptor to jam any mission thieve idiots and help dust them. Since the patch however the noctis cannot tractor the mission objective can even though it's in the fleet and same corp / alliance. The interceptor has to rush to get it before anyone can scan us out and steal it since the other ships are slow. The interceptor then gets an aggression timer on it. This is dumb. Are you just trying to make it easier for mission thieves to get in and out with the objective faster? Anyone in the fleet should be able to tractor the can just as before, stop catoring to griefers, they are not the only paying customers.

Just out of interest, how often are you getting mission thieves popping up?

I have been doing missions solid for the last week with no one coming to bother me. To me it seems having an extra guy to share with profits with just to combat this issue is over kill...

Maybe I am wrong?

If you are getting thieves into your missions regularly, then it might be worth finding a different agent? I know it sucks, but the way eve is designed, players can and will do this, especially if they know it bugs you. Sometimes moving to a quieter location can fix this without the need for so many ships in your mission fleet.

Thank you. As for the other question, the mission thieves do not happen often but this character has nothing else to do, she normally is used for industry and her skills (science-industry) are maxed so she has good ship skills as well.
