Crime & Punishment

Maybe it was an honest mistake? Legions often look alike. I would like to hear Snatch's version of the events before I pass judgement.

You can feel free to do so by convo'ing him. But he did it immediately before downtime after purchasing the skillbook to fly it 20 minutes previously. It was the same name as the other members ship, with all the same modules on it and he flew his own ships out just prior. I have screenshots confirming all of that which as I've said I will gladly pass on to those that ask. He also logged in immediately after downtime, dropping corp and not responding to my mail. He was also asked in corp chat 3 times by the person who's ship it was. Now after downtime I had a confirmed scout on him travelling to Jita presumably to sell it.

It's completely up to interpretation what/who you believe in this game, but I know from doing it that an API check will reveal what I said to be true and also that anyone reading this will naturally be more cautious around this player. Which is all I want because anyone that does that won't be caught by this. Well played steal in the name of the sandbox but you get a nice bit of negative reputation to go along with it.

Pretty correct but as a wormhole corp operating out of PoS structures and the way the coding and permission system exists in that part of EVE ('legacy code' hated by quite a few of us I assure you) . There is an element of trust among the lower tier members or else recruits and low level members would be restricted to one ship at a time flying in/out as and when they need them. This severely inhibits running wormhole activities and makes logistics a pain in everyone's backside.
All recruits have access to the communal array and are free to store ships there if they choose, the policy being if you need/want to use someone else's ship ask and/or replace it when you are done. Corp theft and spying is something no one is completely immune to in EVE. Anyone could make an alt account with the intention of rising through the ranks of a corp. People can only exercise common sense and judgement in what they do and who they trust.

This was in no way a huge steal. The player in question was a low-ranking member that had been in for a short while and managed to take the only ship of real value in that array before being locked out. You could question why a low-level member chose to store a Legion there but again that's not the statement I'm trying to make. The only thing I wanted to do was warn others and get this person's name out there for people to see for future reference.

I was waiting for someone to notice that But yeah he passed the security checks what more can I say. I've seen some hilarious names floating around.

Paranoid Loyd I imagine would make people question your intel as a scout I assume?

It is called a public hangar for a reason though , isn't it ?

obviously a minion of nitche

Thank god I'm not the only one who realizes this.

Good effort, it is a shame most the people you are warning are the ones who would commit the act :D

I do like the responce though, I would enjoy chatting in game some time.

Something does not add up in your testimony.

"He purchased the skillbook to fly it only 20 minutes previously".......

The Legion requires six prerequisite skills that are not used by any other ships in the game, and assuming a favorable remap, your accusee would have needed to buy 6 skills and spend more than double that time getting them all to level 1.


I was going to congratulate Snatch on the snatch, but it appears that he is not guilty of the crime of being awesome.

I know full well most of the people that view this are more interested in the cool awox stories that i don't have :D Just a casual boring "snatch" and grab (pardon the pun). But yeah i did what i set out to do and put the name out there. This kind of stuff is part of EVE and that's what makes it the game it is. I don't want that to change, the game would just be glorified PvE if there were more restrictions on what players can do. Eventually everyone would cuddle up in to a big blue ball and spend there game time mining and running missions. Pretty boring if there isn't player interaction that has the possibility to go wrong.

Maybe we can chat in game sometime who knows what could happen...

Oh and to the guy referencing "Unsuccessful At Everything", I enjoy everything he writes but this isn't exactly an interesting case for the Crime and Punishment defense attorney to turn his attention to. He is already working hard to help defend James Saagh righteous actions against the Brave Collective in favour of his wallet.
