Encounter Surveillance System: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

The Main Bank is accessed by sitting within 10km of the ESS and selecting the 'Link' button which appears over the ESS. This initiates a countdown of six minutes, which is visible to all pilots in the solar system concerned. During the countdown the pilot accessing the Main Bank must remain within 10km of the ESS; travelling further away will end the countdown, which must then be restarted from the beginning.

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~~.

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 about four-fifths of the value of the Main Bank's contents at any CONCORD station. All of the ISK stored up to be disbursed to pilots who had been ratting in the system is removed. (The thief only receives most, rather than all, of the Main Bank to dissuade local inhabitants from looting their own ESS.)

Sovereign nullsec corporations usually therefore respond quickly to attempts on their main banks, if they know about them.
