Line 26: Line 26:
If the countdown reaches zero and the pilot accessing the ESS has not either left or been removed by enemy action, the accessing pilot then receives tags in their cargohold which can be exchanged for the value of the Main Bank's contents at any CONCORD station. Since the ISK concerned was stored up to be disbursed to pilots who had been ratting in the system, the pilot has effectively stolen part of their income.

Sovereign nullsec corporations usually therefore respond quickly to attempts on the bank—if they know about them; since the notification is only solar-system-wide, it is possible to sneak into quiet territory and empty out a Main Bank, or indeed several Main Banks. Though it is risky, and though it is not especially profitable in ISK-per-hour compared to some more reliable moneymaking schemes, bank robbery can bring in money, has a low start-up cost (the price of a fast T1 cruiser plus filaments for mobility), and is a good way to learn about moving through hostile nullsec territory.

The much larger Reserve Bank can be accessed using special keys which are themselves expensive and difficult to acquire. When these are used the money in the Reserve Bank is paid out over time at a rate that spools up and then drops down. The time spent paying out is set by the looters, and by setting a higher time they can collect more of the money if they accept more risk.

Unlocking a Reserve Bank sends an alert to everyone in the region concerned, not just in the immediate solar system.
