Why do people can flip?  Is it to profit from AFK miners?  It may seem so, but this is rarely the case.  Most can flippers are attempting to get you to fire on them.  How?  By stealing from your jetcan, you will have kill rights on them, allowing you to shoot them without Concord intervention.  However, as soon as you fire on them, they will have kill rights on you as well.  Why are they attempting to get you to fire on them?  Because they (and probably some of their friends) are trying to destroy your ship.  And even if you do destroy their initial ship, they '''''will''''' come back with something much more powerful.

Note that if you have combat drones in space set to aggressive behaviour, they will NOT engage someone who flips your can on their own initiative. You can find the drone behaviour options in the drone settings window, which you can open by clicking on the white triangle in the top left of the drone control window when you're in space.
