Some systems have seen an increase in organized griefing centred 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 set your engagement timer and their friends can warp in and finish you off. 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~~, presumably because you think~~ that it will ~~collect~~ your loot for ~~them~~. It is best to ignore these rogue MTUs as they won't affect you. Even if the griefer warps out and leaves it behind they can monitor you in local to see if you've become a suspect, ~~and warp~~ right back in with friends.

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.
