CCP designates several systems as "rookie systems", consisting of the starter systems, the career agent systems, and the [[Sisters of EVE Epic Arc - The Blood-Stained Stars|SoE Epic Arc]] systems and sites. The canonical list is [http://web.archive.org/web/20160228064644/https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Rookie_Systems here].

Related to can flipping, but simpler. A player will put out a can and name it something like "free items" with some modules or ammo inside. They'll wait for someone to take the items and then destroy them as a thief. Someone who really wants to donate items to you will abandon the can so that it's blue. If it's still yellow then it's too good to be true. More sophisticated versions of this scheme are to fleet with someone for missions or incursions and give an item to you such as lyavite ore or your share of the loot, and then their friends pounce and destroy you.

CCP takes a dim view of can baiting in [http://web.archive.org/web/20160228064644/https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Rookie_Systems rookie systems], but it's fair game anywhere else.<br>
