Ships & Modules

Cannibal Kane must be on vacation or something...

Solution B is to convo me ingame whenever guys like that disturb you, people who steal from wrecks are suspect flagged and can be attacked by everybody, that beeing said, all you have to do is getting one maybe two people with antifrig ships helping you out ;)

As said above, i like to do that :P


EDIT: Also recommending changing your bio, it says " i'm a carebear, kill me !" to any pvper around

Thanks for the advice. I did not think about the corp spy. Everyone is really nice to me and helps me when I'm in trouble though, so I can't imagine someone is betraying me.

I did not know I can shoot wrecks. Thank you.

Nobody answered my other question, can support ships increase an ally's damage? A Tristan with 5 light drones slowwwwwwly breaking my tank is confusing me, as I have 75%+ omni resist.

This was really the only part I needed to see to understand why you have so many people coming into your missions, they wants your stuff and here's the most important bit, you don't NEED that tank, you have it because you want it. If you can afford to fit a tank that expensive to a Vindicator you can also afford to let some frigate scoop all the loot that fits in his hold. I strongly recommend allowing that over risking a multi-billion ISK ship to save a few hundred thousand ISK in loot (couple million if you're really unlucky). Even if you destroy him, his limited engagement timer will allow him to come back in something threatening and will be able to legally shoot you...just let the baby have his bottle.

I use a Golem for PvE and my tank is T2 + bastion module and the only faction mods I use are BCUs (I use those because they reduce the time it takes to finish a mission, tank mods do not help at all in this regard so expensive tanks don't even increase the ISK you bring in per unit of time), I get ship scanned from time to time but no one looks at me twice because there's a very good chance they're going to end up losing money to gank it and under no circumstances will I agress any ship that shows up in my mission. Put that multi-billion ISK tank on a Vindicator and then advertise it on the forums...I wish you luck sir.

Since you don't do anything other than mission I suppose you have nothing better to do with your ISK besides slap on expensive tanks so you can say you have it, which is why most of us use missions as a means to get money for other things and I would strongly encourage you to do the same. Additionally by far the best ISK/hour in this game comes from suicide ganking ships that have way too many shiny pieces for them all to die in a single fireball.

Now on to your question. You probably could hit a frigate and blap it with a Vindicator but why would you want to? As I already suggested you may well be opening yourself up to a world of tragedy for the sake of probably about a million ISK. So just let it go. If you want to punish internet space ships then instead of fitting billions in tank you don't need to a PvE ship, learn to PvP in a lot of cheaper things instead. Alternatively, send your excess ISK to me and I will PvP in your stead and film it for all to watch later, I will even let you name the ships I buy with your extra money.

I don't think you have a corp spy. I think the guy's a ninja salvagar and when he found you he watchlisted you. That's what I'd do if I was ninja salvaging: watchlist with -5 all the mission runners who do the kind of missions I want to salvage, note their ships, so I can check local and see who's on. Start scanning and look for their ship types in the scanner so I know which signatures to focus down on. The fact that you were naive enough to shoot at the guy makes you all the more preferable a target - you're on the verge of providing the salvager with some top kek.

Just let him go about his business unless you can manufacture an engagement you're sure to win, without accidentally smartbombing a non-aggressed, without accidentally podkilling him (so you don't give him killrights on you), in a way that make him unlikely to try again. I don't think that's going to happen - the guy's in a throwaway ship - so just accept ninja salvaging for what it is: annoying, but a legitimate profession.

Neut MIGHT work if you engage and find yourself in a bad spot.

Smartbombs will get you CONCORD'ed in highsec. They will warp an alt to you if they see you're using smartbombs.

Not trying to PVP in a PVE mission ship is your best bet. If you want to PVP or bait someone to PVP in a mission have a corp mate cloaked in the mission.

Its really easy, Dont fly a Battleship in LvL 4 missions, the reason people rob you is because Battleships are incredibly easy to probe down with combat probes so someone comes into a system with 100 people missioning they will find you in the BS first rather then spend the enormous amount of time it would take to say probe down an Ishtar thats missioning. Ive never once been probed down in a T3 or a HAC, and I can do a little over 1k dps in the ishtar equivalent to most Bs's
