IMHO all containers should be tripled in size. That way the smaller ones would actually get used. Currently they're just database junk only used on rare occasions.
And while we're at it, remove the restriction of Enriched Uranium to be put into cans or finally add fuel rods. I like to sort the fuel in cans of certain durations for easier refueling. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Good point: why is there a restriction on items like Enriched Uranium being placed in a container?

Seriously CCP, there is no reason not to have something between GSCs and Freight Containers. I ate a Carebear once...couldn't quit farting rainbows for a month. |

Originally by: Tanalei I"m all for a larger secure container the current ones are a joke. We need something between the "giant" secure container and a freight container.
I'd second that. We need Bigger cans. I mostly want bigger ones for my equipment stores in 0.0. Having multiple GSC for fuel reserves, ammo reserves, equipment, blah blah is rather annoying to manage.
Personally I'd love a 10k in size 13k compressed can of some sort.

Edited by: Corian Teranos on 20/03/2009 19:13:34 I had an idea a while back that could resolve the need for a hauler alt. i was thinking about making a special drone that can only be fitted on mining barges has a decent cargo capacity and warps back and forth dumping your ore in a station or pos you predesignate and if a someone wants to flip you he blows up the drone and takes the ore.
this way the anti can advocates are happy and the miners can stop *****ing all the time

I'd like for it to have a capacity of 15000 myself. That would help those that have industrials with large cargo bays. *cough* Iteorn Mark V *cough*

Why cans... I whant a ship that can picup 27 cans. I have now a ship that can't pic up any cans and his cargo is 270.000m3 so that skill is wasted.
Thx to EvE to put no info what a ship can't do... 1000000000 isk wasted

I would love to see larger secure cans. However I don't believe these should be made like the GSC's were its 3000 outside and 3900 inside. A whole new set of super large secure cans is needed but 1 to 1 is fine. Like 10k 15k 20k 25k 30k 35k inside and out. That way you can pick the can closest in size to your hauler. Fill it up and off you go etc etc. Frankly I could care less if they were smaller inside than outside. I just want something secure I can hang in space that will hold a huge amount of stuff. Hulk carry 17k with expanders and rigs. Bestower and Iteron 5's can hold 22k and 38k. GSC's don't cut it if your a serious miner.

That sounds reasonable, I like that idea. /signed

I propose a 27,500m¦ can that can be deployed where ever you want, and can hold any item without restriction. You should be able to carry this can around in the smallest of ships, even shuttles, to allow easy deployment in the field. Obviously, since this is such a convenient device, there should be a downside (everything in EvE has a downside). Lets instead make it NOT secure, so that anyone can take stuff from it. Lets also give them a limited lifetime, regardless of usage. On the positive note, we can set it up so that if someone takes stuff from your can, you will be allowed to shoot them...
Seriously though, the Orca has done a great thing in this situation. The excuse that it takes lots of isk/sp to use is ridiculous. Why SHOULDN'T the best option require the most capital investment/skill level? The alts vs corpmate argument is moot. The game should always be more productive for those who decide to work together. It's how the real world works, and should be so in new eden as well.
What would the ramifications be if this 10,000-15,000m¦ secure beast was introduced? The less experienced, less social members of the community would receive a boost in productivity, while the more coordinated teams would lose their advantage. This is NOT what should be.
As for the argument that larger containers are needed between GSC and GFC, I agree, but like the GFC, it should not be secure. It should also not provide space compression (in fact, I really disagree with the fact that this compression exists in ANY of the containers).
For the most flexibility in moving/organizing goods, I still agree that there needs to be a item grouping/shrink wrap solution added to the game.

Edited by: Mike C on 29/03/2009 09:50:50 18000m¦ Volume 25000m¦ Capacity would be better.
Also, it should be .3 and below only, like assigning fighters.
EDIT 1/2: And yes this is to **** over the empire macro miners who would be ****ing impossible to kill off (Don't ye miss snowballs?)
EDIT 2/2: Goddamn filters... __________________________________________________

Sure, as long as it requires anchoring 5 to anchor, and preferably is a corp-only item.

Perhaps instead it should only be anchorable at a POS...

Id say anchoring 4 would be better...
And definately should not be anchorable for corp. __________________________________________________

So a solo player makes more then an entire team of hulks boosted by an orca?
a SOLO player can already make plenty all by himself, even with out larger secure can. You run two or more accounts at once. One in an orca, the rest in hulks. So how would it be bad to help out the solo player with one account?
Eve IS in fact, a solo game if you want it to be.

No.
Jetcan mining provides an interesting mechanic. Increased profit, but you could lose it all.
If you don't want to risk it, then just warp to and from station when your hold fills...

Jet can mining is easily bypassed with two accounts. Tiny secure containers only hurt single account players.

ATM These are the specs for GSC
(Details) Notes - This Giant container is fitted with a password-protected security lock.
(Targeting) Signature Radius - 3km
(Structure) Mass - 6,000,000 kg Volume - 3000 m¦ Capacity - 3900 m¦
(Required Skills) ñ Primary Skill - Anchoring I
This is what I suggest for Massive Secure Container:
(Details) Notes - This Massive container is fitted with a password-protected security lock. Due to CONCORD regulations on sub-space distortion containers of this size are deemed unsafe for policed territory, and thus cannot be anchored in systems with a security rating of 0.4 or above.
(Targeting) Signature Radius - 30km
(Structure) Mass - 60,000,000 kg Volume - 18000 m¦ Capacity - 25000 m¦
(Required Skills) ñ Primary Skill - Anchoring IV
¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼¼
Seems fair to me... Won't be of any use to most solo miners who dare not toward the promises of low sec ore... __________________________________________________

I like the stats on this,and the anchoring restriction is more than fair considering what is being offered. High sec pilots may not be able to anchor it but it would still help a great deal with hauling, as it would be 2nd only to the standard freight container in regards to containers used for hauling.(The larger ones being station bound). ------------------------------------------------ "Memento mori" |

Edited by: Marcus Gideon on 30/03/2009 02:58:06 I like the dimensions. But I have to disagree with this "Low Sec Only" thing you're trying to pull off.
We all get it, you're not a fan of Care Bears. But that doesn't mean that we need to discriminate against them so blatantly.
The only things that aren't allowed in High Sec are ships that would be overpowering.
As for "sub-space distortion", what about Freighters? They use the same TARDIS effects to fit more. So does every Iteron V and Orca out there.
Every miner who's ever been flipped while trying to use the Jet Can capacity to their advantage is told "Use secure cans, noob".
And yet, how many do you have to anchor before you can justify coming back with a hauler. How many GSC can you fit into a fully rigged and fitted Iteron V?
I know I can fit 5x GSC and then some into my Hulk.
If I can fit so much into a cardboard box (Jet Can), why can't I buy a wooden/metal box the same size? Preferably one with a padlock, since there's an abundance of klepto sociopaths. --- Players aren't interested in Variety, they only want THE BEST. |
