I feel a bit bad. I stole Guristas Guerilla Grounds from a fellow capsuleer yesterday. Poor chap had already done the first 5 rooms and jumped into the last room about 30 seconds before me. I though I'd still follow up and see. He was happily shooting the rats when I entered, went straight to the boss, shot him, looted and warped off.

The thing I feel bad about is that the boss had no faction loot. All that excitement for nothing!

I've heard of people running sites and salvaging all the wrecks, and shooting all the other rats besides the boss rat... in those cases I guess they didn't want his loot anyway... right?

Haha! It would have dropped the C-Type shield booster if the original capusleer had killed the dread :D That's Karma for you.

I also thought that it was "stealing" a complex when I was starting out a few months into EVE, and I got really really worked up about it. Try complaining to those stealing, 3 times out of 4 I got a 10 Million payout from the "stealer" seeing as I was a noob at that time. It might work!

The 4th time was taking the biscuit though, when a Tengu stole the 4/10 loot from me, then proceeded to tell me it was a C-Type Invuln... grr! And he got his corpmate to follow in behind in a 2nd tengu to try to kill me!

I guess it's just one of those things, gotta just deal with it (even though it is highly annoying).

Originally, I was gonna go down the route that if someone else was already in the site when I got there, I would honorably leave it alone, but I've since changed my mind on that. Noone else honors this, and a 2nd or 3rd person would most likely come along and steal anyway, so I just go ahead and compete.

We're in the same boat. Honor in EVE is just too damn expensive. I cannot afford it.

that makes no sense.


Attack the next frigate that becomes a valid target to you....please post what you learned afterwards.
