The MTU has become extremely popular despite its cost, particularly for looting [[Missions#Encounter Missions|mission rats]]. Though not as fast at tractoring and looting as a {{sh|Noctis}}, the MTU continues to loot a field even when you're not there, and deposits wrecks in an [[Guide To Salvaging|easy-to-salvage]] group around itself. This can allow your mission ship to salvage while running the mission, using either a utility high slot or salvage drones.

Some systems have seen an increase in organized griefing centered on Mobile Tractor Units. Similar to [[Ninja_Salvaging_and_Stealing|ninja salvaging and stealing]], a gang will take up residence in a [[Mission_Hubs|high activity missioning area]] and scan down MTUs. They'll then aggress the MTU, attempting to bait the missioner into engaging them. As with ninja looters, the options for dealing with them are fairly limited. Engaging the griefer will give you an engagement timer with the suspect and allows him to legally shoot back at you. Not engaging will cost you both your loot and the [~~http~~://~~eve-central~~.com/~~home~~/~~quicklook.html?typeid=~~33475 cost of the MTU]. Orbiting the MTU at close range mitigates this heavily. As soon as you see them warp into your pocket you can empty the contents of the MTU into your hold and scoop the unit. They will be left with a mission pocket that you have already looted and are likely to move on.

MTUs do not loot wrecks that are not yours. There are some griefers that prey on this misunderstanding. After arriving in your mission pocket they may drop an MTU of their own – hoping you will engage it on the presumption that it will steal your loot, and collect it for the griefer. It is best to ignore these rogue MTUs as apart from moving wrecks, they won't affect you. Even if the griefer warps out and leaves their MTU behind, they can monitor you in local to gank you if they see you've become a suspect, warping right back in with some friends.
