More actions
Cleaned up several errors in the page, as well as differentiated between Salvage and Stealing, since these are two separate acts, and one of them isn't criminal (though it is not liked.) |
Added "ninja looting back" since that is a common term, and added ninja swarm... |

Ninja salvaging refers, precisely, to entering a mission-runner's mission and salvaging their wrecks without their knowledge or permission for your own profit. It is also used more generally to refer to salvaging any wreck which does not belong to the person salvaging. Stealing on the other hand, is taking items from a wreck without permission, either for profit or to provoke the owner into allowing you to blow them up (for fun and profit). Some users will confuse the two terms, or will lump both ninja salvaging and stealing together even though the penalties for each are different (stealing results in a criminal flag, while ninja salvaging does not.) | Ninja salvaging refers, precisely, to entering a mission-runner's mission and salvaging their wrecks without their knowledge or permission for your own profit.

Note that '''University pilots are [[Ivy_League_Policies#Looting_and_Salvaging|not allowed]] to salvage or steal from others' wrecks without their permission'''. You can ninja salvage or steal using an alt, but it must be impossible to trace that alt to your main character or to the University. | Note that '''University pilots are [[Ivy_League_Policies#Looting_and_Salvaging|not allowed]] to salvage or steal from others' wrecks without their permission'''.

For this reason, if you do decide to shoot a ninja it may be necessary to set all the wrecks in your mission pocket to 'abandoned' before docking up to wait out your aggression timer. | For this reason, if you do decide to shoot a ninja it may be necessary to set all the wrecks in your mission pocket to 'abandoned' before docking up to wait out your aggression timer. | ||
==Ninja Swarm== | |||
Some corporations or groups of players have taken Ninja Salvage and Stealing to the next level. They form fleets of ships which move into a system, scan for missioners and then jump into the mission deadspace for each missioner and ninja salvage or loot. The effect is similar to locust moving through the plains, in that it causes mass-grief for all missioners in the system. These fleets usually move on or get bored, so this activity is very rare. | |||
