I learned today that if you shoot a Mobile Tractor Unit, it will start stealing wrecks from you and your corperation!

I wonder if it makes the owner blinky to the other people in my corp?

When you shoot an MTU you go Suspect. When you go Suspect anybody can shoot you. And your cans/wrecks effecitvely become "abandoned" while your Suspect flag is active. So anybody can loot them without incurring a flag. Even an MTU. And it does. Cuz it can. Which is the base logic of all of EvE.

I have learned that if you shoot an MTU, and keep shooting, they die, and drop wonderful treasure.

if the owner has a bounty on him you even get some ISK too.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Linking the killmail of the MTU in local, and complaining about the drops, sometimes baits the destroyed MTU's owner into shooting you.

I can confirm this, working as intended!
