~~These units represent~~ a ~~new option to those~~ with ~~more clandestine missions as they~~ will ~~syphon~~ off a portion of the moon minerals or reaction results that go towards the ~~stations~~ silos. ~~Designed~~ to be secretly deployed near to a POS and will not alert the owner to the theft of materials nor will the stations guns automatically shoot at it, meaning that people who own ~~POS's~~ need to keep a watchful eye out for any of these things floating around. Like the Mobile Cynosural Inhibitor this is a one use item ~~but with an added~~ twist, any pilot may access the hold so even the thieves ~~wont be~~ immune to theft. It only ~~weighs~~ 35 m³, takes 5 seconds to deploy and will last 30 days with a cargo hold of 900 m³ but needs to be ~~within 30km~~ of the target, so [[Frigate#Covert_Ops|CovOps]] ships can truly take advantage of these automated thieves.

Mobile Siphon Units, when placed around a [[POS and You|player owned starbase]] with a moon harvesting laser or a reactor, will siphon off a portion of the moon minerals or reaction results that go towards the station's silos. They are designed to be secretly deployed near to a POS and will not alert the owner to the theft of materials nor will the stations guns automatically shoot at it, meaning that people who own POSs need to keep a watchful eye out for any of these things floating around. Like the Mobile Cynosural Inhibitor this is a one use item. One twist is that any pilot may access the hold so even the thieves aren't immune to theft. It only takes up 35 m³, takes 5 seconds to deploy and will last 30 days with a cargo hold of 900 m³ but needs to be between 30 and 50 km of the target, so [[Frigate#Covert_Ops|CovOps]] ships can truly take advantage of these automated thieves.

Other points to note:

*No criminal or suspect flags will be placed upon attacking the ~~syphon~~.

*Requires {{sk|Anchoring}} II to deploy.

*Will ~~prioritise~~ raw materiel over refined (cannot take alchemy output).

*No criminal or suspect flags will be placed upon attacking the siphon.

*Will prioritize raw materiel over refined (cannot take alchemy output).

*Can only steal from one silo at a time and only the one at the end of a chain.

*Will take 60 raw or 30 processed at a time.

*Will take 60 raw or 30 processed items at a time.

*Players cannot put items into it.

*Multiple ~~syphon~~ units can be placed around the POS and will steal in order deployed.

*Multiple siphon units can be placed around the POS and will steal in order deployed.

*Have a waste factor of 10%

*Have a waste factor of 10%, meaning that 10% of the items stolen are lost.

*Will only steal during a production cycle (once per hour)

*Will only steal during a production cycle (once per hour).

*Max range of 50km

*Can be manually targeted by station guns.

*Can be manually targeted by station guns
