==Wrecks==

A wreck is the remains of a ship that has been destroyed. Wrecks can be either NPC or ~~Player Ships~~, and EVE does not differentiate between ~~NPC or Player wrecks~~. ~~Wrecks~~ can be ~~anywhere in the game~~.

[[File:File:Overview-wrecks.jpg|thumb|right|Overview symbols for wrecks.]]A wreck is the remains of a ship that has been destroyed. Wrecks can be either NPC or player ships, and EVE does not differentiate between them. A wreck is visible on the [[Overview]]. The Overview icon denotes whether the wreck has items inside it which can be looted.

A wreck is ~~designated on~~ the ~~overview and~~ in the ~~EVE screen as an upside~~-~~down triangle~~. If the wreck ~~contains items that can~~ be ~~looted the triangle is solid~~. ~~Empty~~ wrecks ~~are denoted with an empty triangle~~.

Wrecks that belong to you or your corporation will be white. Wrecks that belong to someone else are yellow, and those wrecks that have been abandoned (and are therefore available to everybody) will be blue. A player can take items from any wreck that is white (except in the case of a player who is in an non-player corporation who takes from another player in the same non-player corporation) or blue without penalty from CONCORD. A player who takes items from a yellow wreck will be warned by the game (if the player has not disabled this warning) and if they take from the wreck, they will be flagged with a [[Timers#Suspect_Timer|suspect timer]], allowing any player to shoot at them for a limited time (15 minutes). Taking items from yellow wrecks is considered stealing.

~~Wrecks that~~ belong to ~~you or your corporation will be white~~. ~~Wrecks that belong to someone else are~~ yellow, ~~and those wrecks~~ that ~~have been abandoned (and are therefore available~~ to ~~everybody) will~~ be ~~blue~~.

According to CCP, items within a wreck belong to the player, but the [[salvaging|salvage]] is owned by no one. As a result, players can legally salvage yellow wrecks without being flagged. However, players must realize that most mission-runners consider salvage to be part of the perks of mission-running, so while you may not receive a suspect flag, you may antagonise the mission-runner with all of the likely consequences.

===Stealing from a wreck===

~~A player who takes items~~ from ~~a yellow~~ wreck ~~will~~ be ~~warned by the game (if~~ the player has ~~not disabled this warning) and if they take from the wreck~~, they ~~will be flagged with~~ a ~~criminal flag~~ and ~~the player who owned that wreck will be able to shoot at~~ them ~~for a limited time (15 minutes.) Taking items from yellow wrecks is considered stealing~~.

Stealing from someone else's wreck is very much like looting your own wrecks. Get close enough to the wreck, and then open it. However, once you do so you better be ready to fight or run away, since the player you steal from now has rights to kill you. Furthermore, they may call for a fleet of ships to come in and help them.

===~~Stealing from~~ a ~~Wreck===~~

~~Stealing from someone else's wreck is very much like looting your own wrecks. Get close enough to the~~ wreck, and then open it. However, once you do so you better be ready to fight or run away, since the player you steal from now has rights to kill you. Furthermore, they may call for a fleet of ships to come in and help them. The aggression rules allow anyone in the corp with the victim to shoot at you, so for 15 minutes, anyone in the corp you stole from may try to kill you.

~~===Salvaging a Wreck~~===

To salvage a wreck, you need to possess a salvager module on your ship and need to have the {{sk|Salvaging|icon=yes}} skill. To salvage, click on the wreck and select "lock target". Once the wreck is locked, fly within 5000m of the wreck and activate the salvager module. You can use tractor beams to move white or blue wrecks, but not yellow wrecks, so it is best to just move close to the wreck to salvage it.
