EVE General Discussion

Too easy... Must resist....

Yes, it was rude, but legal, and your attack is illegal.

He can steal from your wrecks. Doing so makes him suspect and allows you to attack him without Concord getting involved.

However if you attack him he can attack you back.

Seriously? You're going to get bent over a couple hundred thousand isk worth of salvage? If they aren't touching the cans, then don't worry about it. You're losing more isk just fretting over it.

And high-sec rats *can* drop nice stuff, it's just incredibly rare (because grr goons, etc.)

You can shoot anyone flasshy yellow (they can shoot back though)

Ultimately it's not your stuff til you dock and unload it into your hangar.
Up until that moment ownership of an item lies in a certain gray area. Someone can steal it from the wreck, which will cause them to go suspect. Someone can shoot you and take it from your wreck also, which will usually evoke a CONCORD response unless either you are suspect yourself or they have an active killright on you.
As far as salvaging goes, there's nothing to stop another player from salvaging wrecks in space regardless of who shot the ship involved. This does not cause suspect or criminal flagging because they're basically cleaning up spacejunk.

Edit: And he can loot it out of a can, it just makes him go suspect. The more you know...

MTU's are not a sure thing either. They can be nommed on with impunity by anyone who's willing to go suspect. If you do the AFK mining thing (which I strongly discourage) the odds are pretty good that the MTU will be a wreck by the time you return to keys.
Bottom line is that if you truly want something you need to be johnny on the spot about making sure it becomes yours before someone else snags it for themselves.

it is not yours unless you take it.

Just because i mentioned them doesnt mean we need trolls doing retro threads.

You people are a shame.

You fall for everything.
