I didn't check the containers owner as I scooped it out of excitement. But I found a container with a bunch of clone soldier tags, about 40 mill. Just sitting in space.
It was a small secure container unanchored. Maybe he didn't know how to place a secure container? I enjoy a good session of mining. |

What is potential contraband for 400 Alex?
Dunno.. i don't do the tag thing anymore. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

In the course of scanning for various things throughout highsec, I have thrice found a full set of faction drones abandoned in space. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Once upon a time, back in the days of yore, you could create safespots 200+ AU away and hide many, many, oh so many, things in deep, deep, deeper than any [redacted due to your age] space.
And then one day, in the name of server performance (laziness,) The Powers That Be (TPTB) decided to limit safespots to some ridiculously short distance away from the sun. On that patch, many, many, oh so many explorers (if you can call them that now, *spit*) found a cornucopia of bonanza of plenty that patch day.
Maybe, just maybe, you found the dregs that weren't worth scanning down that patch day...

10 harvester drones was the best find like that I ever had. Someone had ganked some miners in a belt, and not bothered to check the guy's drones.
Unless your thread is limited to how 'awesum!' Eve Online is, ISD will lock the thread.-á You will find it is particularly common if CCP might have to make a public response to the thread subject, as opposed to bury it in the GM que for the forseeable future and then prohibit telling anyone what the GM said, if it's ever answered at all. |

I see abandoned drones in FW space all the time. Sometimes abandoned things are a trap (to get you away from gate) sometimes not. Most of the time it's not that much cash anyway. "NUTS!!!" - general McAuliffe |

Not even uncommon. Few days ago I just found an unpiloted Iteron 5 in highsec with a full T2 fit and some ore in the cargo.
I was scanning for stuff to blow up, and found the Iteron I wanted to kill was mine to take instead. www.minerbumping.com |

I once found a faction wreck in a belt with the miner sitting right there. It still had loot, including a low grade implant. Needless to say, I didn't mind the blinky blink and just waited the timer out in a station, one implant richer. Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics |

The best thing i have found was a wreck of tengu with faction shield booster and hardeners. Wreck was sitting on high sec gate leading to low sec. That was a long time ago. When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues. |

I was doing some errands, back and forth through the same gate and kept seeing the same wreck nearby. Figured whoever owned it would be back for it. (A T3 ship, btw) Finally, I surrendered and looted the thing, half its t2 guns apparently, half a t2 shield tank with a faction booster, and a faction AB on it. I couldn't believe someone left it there. Even salvaged it for three armor plates and a few tritanium ingots. I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility toward every form of tyranny over the mind of man.-á |

I found somone's wallet floating in space. Should I return it? A great American humorist and author recently said: "The one unintentional flaw of the internet generation is its ability to give the stupidest segments of our population the loudest voices." I have a tendency to agree with his statement.-á |

I was waiting for some war targets on a gate when someone got suicided next to me. Suddenly a small can worth 2.5b was floating by my side. Mashie Saldana Dominique Vasilkovsky

Once I warped a Hulk into a belt and sitting there, in the middle of several miners, was an abandoned harvester drone. I slowly went over to it and scooped it up. Sold it for 60 mil or so. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Best thing I ever saw was an Orca, just sitting in an asteroid belt in some backwater system all alone. Had a ship in the bay as well but can't for the life of me remember what it was anymore. I remember it had some really nice mods on it though.
Ended up totaling ~1.5b after it was all said and done. Would have loved to find out why anybody would just leave that out like that.

Drones no longer auto aggro if someone shoots an MTU. NBLID (Not Blue Let It Die), the new motto for miners, manufacturers, and retailers everywhere. |

I've found all sorts stuff. Even a clump of over 100 shuttles. I think someone was going to shoot them all to mess with the system kill stats. Took quite a while but flew them all back to the nearest station.
Constantly finding lost drones and once in a while ships.

I'm addicted to looting drones. Seriously if I see a drone floating 50km off a gate (even an ewar drone and I'm in a BS), I feel compelled to go get it. Even though my drones are disobendient and never follow orders.
And Corpses too, when I have them on overview. It's like a compulsion.
I try scoop drones from fleet members during fleets too, they go mental when they notice. Damn you loot logger - |

Friend of mine found a fleet of Tengus (4 or 5 of them) just floating in a WH once. That one was a bit of a mystery. |

That one was a bit of a mystery.
Long ago there was a push by players for ships to have logs, like a bio for a ship, or like an item that can be put in the cargo hold, that a player can put log entries into.
No doubt there are a lot of players who are itching for starting entries with "Captain's Log".
(Admittedly there are times when nobody is going to want to see "the captain's log" if you know what I mean - who's leaving gifts?)
I think the idea came about because of ships being abandoned on wormholes and the mystery that often surrounds such finds.
Evidently the idea never became a feature. I think the idea popped up sometime in the summer of 2009.

A ship's history tab would be nice at the least (sort of a combat log or maybe even just some random data on what the ship has been through). Hell, people have asked for a ship's manufacturing date, so why not? |
