'buddy fit'

a term I coined, when multiboxing: I fly 1 account as the primary ship, with other ships supporting that ship as AFK as possible.

IE main ship is doing the scanning, damage, mining. While other buddy fit accounts are boosting the main account.

Hi Loru! Just wanted to give a quick reminder that only submissions work for bounties (not replies) so I couldn't mark you as a winner. The good news is that we'll be running this bounty again in the not-so-distant future. So, you'll have another chance to submit to our hopefully ever-growing encyclopedia.

Cherry Picking (verb): Cargo Scanning a container on a Relic or Data site to preview it's contents before deciding whether or not to hack it. Then only hacking cans with loot of value within them.

Pochven Express (Noun): The process of activating a 'Pochven' Filament, transporting a player to the Pochven Region. The player then activates an 'Extraction' Filament, returning the player to High Security space. Often used by explorers wishing to extract their loot from Null Security space, circumventing the need to travel through commonly camped systems and risk losing their ship and cargo.

So useful, especially if you've got a map of the wormholes as well. :D

Jetcan Mining

A form of mining where the miner fills their cargo hold and then jettisons the contents into space. The jettisoned can then remains in space for a set amount of time before eventually dematerializing. The miner can leave the can for pickup by a hauling ship or even add to the contents until the can is full.

While convenient, jetcan contents may be taken by any player in space.

NPSI, Not Purple Shoot It;

anyone in your fleet (who by default appear as Purple on your overview & brackets) is your friend, and everything else is a valid target – quite simply, is fleeting up with the mentality of “if you’re not with me, you’re against me”.

Salt / Saltmine:

Capsuleers which enrage in local about the loss of a ship due the fact of PVP. Common source for Salt is Ganking or simple the lost of your ship. Another good Source is hunting value Targets which are grinding for ISK. Salt comes mainly from people which lost the border between the game and reallife.

POS - Player Owned Structure, not to be confused with Citadels. POSs have been in the game a very long time and were the original way that players could anchor a home and claim their part of space. They are still used throughout New Eden, primarily as a staging platform for invasion fleets or as a fallback beacon/safe haven for defending fleets.

POCO - Player Owned Customs Office, all planets across New Eden (there are probably exceptions) have customs offices in orbit which allow you to transfer your PI materials from the planet's surface into space. Originally these were all NPC but it is possible for players to take these down, replace them with their own and then control the taxes on materials going on and off planet.
