Ninja salvaging consists of probing people doing L4 missions in empire, warping in with a small, fast, hard-to-hit ship, salvaging as much as you can, and getting out when you're full or about to get in trouble. It's a great way for beginners to make isk. NOTE: This is a high sec activity. Doing this in low or null will just end with them shooting you before you do anything.

You will need skills for salvaging and at least Astrometrics II. High probing skill levels will allow you to find targets much faster.

There are three ways to carry out ninja salvaging/looting.

The ninja will warp in a fast ship and scoot around salvaging all he can get. He is not given a countdown timer nor is he marked as a criminal in any way.

The pirate steals the contents of wrecks that a missioner leaves (besides salvaging). This will get you flagged but may not be an issue if the mission has already been completed and the care bear has no way of getting back. You can usually tell if this is the case if all the rooms have collapsed.

The lowest of the low, warping in with a small fast ship, he steals only the mission objective, such as the damsel in distress or the plaugue, or what not. He then ransoms it back to make a tidy profit.

Fast frigates (eg. Vigils) fitted with three salvagers and a salvage tackle rig, along with a microwarpdrive allow you to fly around the wrecks quickly and salvage faster.
