1. 15km off a gate leave a can with some random stuff in it and your drones floating in space nearby. Cloak up and have at least one sensor booster fitted.

2. Sit nearby, say 10-ish KM and have double webs, mwd and scram ready.

3. Curious mark comes by, attempts to loot drones and fails, attempts to loot can, gets flagged.

4. Laugh ;D (required)

5. Decloak, reconnect to lost drones

6. ????

7. PROFIT!

I respectfully disagree. Step 4 is NOT optional, but essential.

Also, is this what black ops were really meant for? Cool

This post just explained why im seeing a lot of random drones and cans lying around certain routes.

I prefer leaving no trace of myself for the extra paranoid pilots. Have taken several freighters and a nice 4.6b nightmare that all had scouts. Clear gate doesn't mean safe gate Pirate.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

Interesting. I will keep a look out for this. May I add the additional steps:

1. Bait char takes from can
2. Black ops ship decloaks and reconnects drones.
3. Same corp gank ships decloak and wtfpwn a 700 million isk Black Ops ship.

Yes, I think it's worth a try. Better start checking local.

Maybe if they are slow. You'll need 2 SB to catch a nano BR, and 3-4 for fast aligning frigates.

Sigh... There was a time when drones on gates were a legitimate side income for new characters.


None the less, I am still happy about the "Reconnect To Lost Drones" option.

Heh, thanks.

Another cool thing to do that is just sinister is to go to a populated highsec system. Warp to a belt, jet your drones. Drop a can with some Arkonor in it (highsec miner will think they've struck absolute gold) and then well, you know the rest ;D To make it even more sinister, change the can name to a time that is about to expire, so the miner will think someone abandoned their magical Arkonor!

Alternatively, use a Force Recon (Rapier or Pilgrim are the best options I think) for faster tackling. Though, I suppose a BOps is far more intimidating.

Unfortunately, in a recon you have a ~6 second decloak targeting delay. Black Ops BS (and stealth bombers), though, can begin locking immediately upon decloaking.

If you abandon the container this black ops trick works even better.

Wait, do you get aggro in highsec for attempting to scoop someone's drones (they can't actually take them because you're undocked in system, right)? I honestly don't know this.

Just tested it, they *can* take your drones, and they do not get aggro. If your ship is cloaked and you have drones out, they count as abandoned.

If you abandon a few mining drones though you could make it look more convincingly that a miner died.

Lowsec version with carriers

-leave a can with a capital mod in it with a name like "amarr super carrier wreck"
-leave 20 fighters around it
-guy tries to loot can, fighters are too big to scoop

-two carriers and a recon decloak
-carriers reconnect
-carrier assign fighters to arazu
-recon points them and applies other ewar (neut, web, SD, ECM)
-have back up in system or ready to login in the event that it was a double trap and your victim has help nearby

New idea, can carriers reconnect even when off-grid?
