I'll keep this short;

Miners are the biggest users of jetcans, and use them to increase their cargo capacity beyond the ships original design

The new ships focus on differing cargo capacity depending on which ship you choose to fly

Keeping the current jetcan 'facility' in its current form sidesteps this slightly. The current capacity of jetcans is laughable, being the same no matter what the size of cargohold the originating ship had.

I propose that jetcans be 'shrinkwrapped' to whatever it is being jettisoned, so the size of the jetcan perfectly contains what was jettisoned with no 'extra capacity'.

(Note, i am not campaigning to remove jetcans, or even their use in mining, just the unexplanably large capacity of them)

feel free to discuss

Its something that needs changing in my opinion

How do you explain dropping a container out of your Ibis that can contain more than a vanilla Itty 5?

I take it you have never mined in a covetor. Also, you can only jettison a new can so often.

I have, but thats beside the point

So how do you expect anyone to use that ship without a can? It can barely hold one cycle of the lasers.

Maybe read the latest devblog and then work within the limitations of the ship given to you?

Why would you give the biggest yield to the ships with the smallest holds if they have to either dock up constantly or wait for a new can? Would you allow unlimited cans in space? That would lag the servers out, and is something CCP has always tried to avoid and will take action against.

It says they will not change the hold of the covetor/hulk, making the covetor completely worthless as a mining platform without a good transfer method.

Moved from EVE General Discussion.

no, the way i understand it is that the largest cargo bay amongst the exhumers will be the same as a jetcan, therefore the ship with max yield will have an ore bay smaller than a jetcan, along with the fact that i mine 2+ jetcans at a time means i'll still be jet can mining.

so let's not **** up jet cans please.

jet cans ARE ****ed up, thats the point

Does it take less than 2 mins to fill up a Hulk or Covetors hold? (I really dont know this one)

Yes.

The Jet can timer is 3 minutes, a cycle of strip miners is 3 minutes. It would be tight, but add in an Orca bonus and the time drops to 124sec, or 2 minutes. Lots of fleet op based mining uses jet cans and this would make it slow and cumbersome.

FYI One cycle on a Hulk is ~80% of hold size, so cant hold 2 cycles

what is the exact problem CCP is trying to fix here again breaking jet cans in the same time?

jet cans ARE ****ed up, thats the point

tl:dr jetcans are too big
