Ninja Salvaging and Stealing: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

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. A wreck is designated on the overview and in the EVE screen as an upside-down triangle, and if the wreck contains items that can be looted the triangle is solid, while 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 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 (NPC) who takes from another player in a NPC) 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 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 ~~are~~ considered stealing.

Taking items from yellow wrecks is considered stealing.

According to CCP, items within a wreck belong to the player, but the 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 be criminally flagged, you can find yourself on a list of folks the person would like to suicide gank at the next possible opportunity.
