Dos and Don'ts for Noobs in EvE: Difference between revisions

Line 59:

Can flipping is a combination of ninja looting and can baiting. The perpetrator will steal from you and then drop the item in a can from you (possibly with a "oops, here have it back" in local). Even though it was originally yours, if you take it back from their can *you* are considered a thief to them and they can shoot you.

In principal, when someone steals your stuff, you can shoot him. But doing it in a mission runner (PvE fitted ship) is a bad idea. He's probably prepared for this more than you and believes he can defeat you. Even if you win he can then come back in a bigger ship and try again within 15 minutes. So if there is a can flipper it's usually best to ignore him. If you are near ~~Aldrat~~ and in E-Uni make a call in mumble ~~→ combat lounge~~ or ~~mess~~.~~iln~~ and ask for help. Do not engage him alone!
