It used to be termed "the final blow". The wreck is flagged as belonging to the party that brought the targets structure below zero. The wreck then appears yellow to anyone else. Anyone opening a wreck that is yellow is flagged as suspect to the wreck owner and the wreck owner is entitled to commence pew pew.

However anyone opening that wreck is probably doing it to try for a fight , that means they are either a moron having an emo rage moment or they are pvp fit and think you are easy game. then again they could just have noticed that you are so far from the wreck that they think they have a good chance of thieving the loot and getting out before you can scram them.

With a VNI you should be able to dual mar tank if you really need to - running one rep most of the time - bursting the second if you need it, (which should be very occasionally occasionally if ever, I ma guessing you dont have pimp skills and might appreciate a comfort buffer), this way you could get right on the raider structure thing in room two ready for the BC spawn, hit approach on the bc as soon as it appears , when it pops check can ownership is yours and scoop.

You don't have the dps to compete with gilas. Just avoid wasting time against them .

Yes, but the ship doing that must be able to do 500+ m/s

It is definitely most damage - not final blow. As someone else noted, this IS trivially tested, but I think the actual testing step was skipped over.

Having just shot several belt rats into structure on one character, then finishing them off with a second, the wrecks came out yellow to the "final blow" character every last time.

Using character 1 for the first shot, then DPSing down to nothing with the second character before finishing off with the first also resulted in the second character getting the loot rights.

Earlier today I ran a site in high sec, and got the BC down to structure before I had to reload. Someone else was in the room and blapped the BC before I could resume DPS, but the wreck went to me. So it's definitely not the last person that delivers DPS.

One thing I'm not sure on is if it's on an individual basis, or a fleet basis. E.g., if I do 40% of the damage to a rat, and two guys in a fleet each do 30%, I'm not sure if I get it or they do (but I think maybe I'm about to find out).

I concur; I having spent the last 30 mins deliberately contesting sites to test, (thanks to an early morning alarm call from a son who really needed to discuss thunder-birds at six am on a Saturday morning)

it does look like its most damage is the key

I have been trying to do (and easily winning) these event sites in an ewar Celestis as a challenge, and it is of course do-able with missiles and hobgoblin 2 etc. You just need to keep your distance.

However, I am doing a site and I see Gilas/Navy Hurricanes (that need to grow a pair) and all sort of ridiculous OP ships being the hero at these sites.....FFS

Only one thing to say to them....pussies.

EDIT - Doing these current event missions in a Gila or Navy battlecruiser is akin to doing level one missions in a Brutix......pathetic imo.

No, it isn't. As you noted earlier in the thread, this is easily tested with an alt - you should do that. It's most damage. I'm not sure where this last-hit myth came from (pvp killmails, perhaps), but that isn't how it works.

i use a polarized Phantasm, FactionMods.
+6 All Turrets Damage Implant
960dps or something out of the guns (i heat on the last wreck)
Together with 3small drones

I have 2 SensorBoosters

I lock, make 3 HITS about 3900damage on the Battlecruiser, its in deep structure.

A HARBINGER THAT IS ON GRID WITH ME MAKES 280Damage, last shot, Wreck is yellow.

Same happens with Confessors, Svipuls blablabla....they CANT even outDPS me...but they get the wreck when i don´t time it right.

IT IS THE ******* LAST SHOT OR THE MECHANIC IS DAMN BROKEN SOMETIMES !

SO PLEASE CCP CAN YOU GIVE US A 100% Answer on this PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose it's a bit like shiptoasting on an anonymous NPC alt, eh?
