Edited by: Nathanial Victor on 27/06/2008 21:11:03? Whats up with that? If they loot a can i can pwn them. If they salvage a wreck i can't. Is there some programing reason this isn't the same and its really hard to fix? (i'd find that hard to believe). Is it intentional? If you think about it, ppl that nija salavge in high sec are getting reward with 0 risk... especially if they are a member of newb corp (as you cant declare war on them). Anyone want to clear this up for me? Am i missing something? ---------- edit: thanks for the clarification. This thread is now about discussing the ridiculous policy that wreck and their salvage is public domain while the loot inside of them is not. |

Because according to CCP "wrecks belong to no one". |

Because CCP says salvage is not property, only things in cans are. |

Because it's not your wreck.
By the very definition of "salvage" it belongs to whoever finds it first.
Being able to ninja salvage without getting a criminal falg is entirely intentional and according to the game mechanics. |

If you get a Rogue salvager.. target your wrecks and pop em right in the salvagers face.. Better that than have these little dipsticks steal you're hard earned salvage.

Take the name down, pass it on to your CEO along with a message decrying your outrage and demand satisfaction through war, problem solved. Oh he's in an NPC corporation, why they're even in this game is beyond me. |

If you owned the salvage just like you own the wreck contents, then what would be the practical difference between loot and salvage? They have different rules so that gameplay is more complex. Otherwise salvage would just be an extra "bonus mission reward" and there's no reason to even have it in the game. |

oh wow. so i'm guessing they ran into some weird bug trying to get the flag applied when programming salvaging. Instead of making it work like it should they decided to make it a 'feature' and declare the wreck 'public domain'.  that has to be the silliest, most rediculous thing i've ever heard ccp. CCP, did you hire a bunch of green behind the ears trial lawyers on board as game developers?? Sounds like instead of fixing an issue you gave up and made up some BS (wouldn't be the 1st time and probably wont be the last). |

Your a n00b to trolling Nathaniel. You should have saved the 'omg CCP are a bunch of losers and can't progran a c-64 game' post for much later in the thread.  |

So finding a 'practical difference' is more important than maintaining some trace of risk vs reward in ppl that continue to exploit the invulnerability of newb corps? |

Awww. Look people, there is someone with no clue what so ever.
So i'm going to guess the 1st one has a ninja salvage alt and the 2nd actually is one. Hey! Maybe the same person? Quit changing the subject to me. I doubt it was actually a programming issue but there is 2 possiblities, its an intended mechanic or a unexpected 'feature' Isn't risk vs reward kinda the foundation of our economy in this game? Oh right, i dont have a clue  |

Hard-earned?! If your salvage is hard to earn, you're doing it wrong. I might agree that it's hard-earned if he steals the salvage of your newly killed Titan or Mom, but if he does, you're in zero- or lowsec, and you're free to kill him anyway, so it's a moot point Originally by: Nathanial Victor

…and you've been given the answer: it's an intended mechanic. Always has been, always will be – so sayeth the devs. |

This is an intended game mechanic and is in no way an exploit. People salvaging your missions npcs or the player you just blew up are doing nothing wrong. The players are salvaging what is effectively floating rubbish in space and Concord places no value on this wreckage.
Eve is a harsh place you won't always have everything go your way, its a do or die world and people do what they can to get along. If salvaging some wreckage gets them a few more ISK someone will do it, it doesn't matter who just blew it up.

So you leave your space trash wreck floating around and want kill rights on the trash man thats cleaning up the galaxy? Salvage is not broken, works just as it should. |

Ninja salvaging is an intended profession, just like corp thieves or scammers. Whining about it is not going to change it, and calling the devs incompetent is surely not going to help either. |

interesting. thanks for the link. for the record i did miss all this back when everyone else was talking about it (obviously) still seems pretty debatable. Looking at the above quote it seems the root of the issue is that, for some ppl, eve ISN'T a harsh place (see also; the character that cropped my post up to say high sec mission runners have no risk vs reward). I'd have to say thats a fairly valid point, but off topic (and there is the shread of a chance you loose your connection while some npc frig has you scrambled). "Eve is a harsh place you won't always have everything go your way, its a do or die world and people do what they can to get along. If salvaging some wreckage gets them a few more ISK someone will do it, it doesn't matter who just blew it up." Yeah, if looting someones wreck also makes them money they will do that too! (and good for them). Doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to shoot them. Its what makes eve EvE |

Have any of you ever run into a ninja who was a noobcorp alt? Just yesterday somebody came into ninja chat saying he was an anonymous alt and wanted us to teach him ninja salvage, and we all LOL'd. He was like "but I'm the CEO of a corp, I don't wanna be wardecked!" and we were like "steal with your main". Ninjas are not noobcorp alts, this is how we differ from mission running ISK farmers.
And don't presume to tell me how the mission runner operates. I have been in a lot more different people's missions than you have. |

Because CCP is pro-lawbreaker and feels they most hold their hands and protect them from the bad-bad mission runners. |

The salvaging game mechanic is working as intended. In RL, if a ship is wrecked and abandoned then anyone can come along and salvage it. It is first come first serve. Salvaging in RLIn Eve, the NPC ships technically belong to the rat corp, not the player. Therefore, when the rat is destroyed the wreck is open to anyone since it is a destroyed and abandoned ship. CCP added this mechanic to make it more realistic. There is still the question of why loot belongs to the player and the wreck doesn't, but I can't answer that. |

Arghh... must resist... the sheer.. cant resist! >< Then why is it when you tractor beam yellow wreck, the game tells you: "you cannot tractor beam the wreck, because it belongs to (insert playername's)"?!?!?!?!?!??!ARGHHHHH - THIS ARGUEMENT IS ******ED! SOMEONE KILL IT!!!!! |

It's because CCP contradict themselves and royally suck at justifying the crap that comes out of their mouth, thats why. They need to make tractor beams tractor the stuff, or they need to make salvage a criminal act. |

Here's the deal with tractoring and cans/ wrecks.
Facts: players own the cans from any rats they kill, and now they also own the cans from any mission rats they spawn. Only corpmates get tractor privs on those cans, and you can't tractor a wreck without also tractoring its can.
Speculation: to cut down on db queries the game doesn't distinguish between empty wreck cans and those that have contents in this case. Therefore, all wrecks are considered to have cans for purposes of tractoring and thus nobody but the killer and his corpmates can tractor the wreck. |
