Something would be nice. Just know its kinda weird having the ability to make a can out of thin air that holds 27,500 m3. I kinda figured that jet cans would have the same space as the ship that spat it out, but whatever. And those secure containers are a bit off in my opinion, your spending isk for an upgraded jet can with a lock on it, and the largest one only holds 3,900 m3? Taking up 23,600 m3 of space just for a lock is a bit... off? I would like to see the secure containers getting a boost to their cargo space. And there is no need to dismiss this idea just cause of macro miners, nothing you can do about them unless you change the way players use the interface when mining. (Loot box shows up in a random position?! HAH! Macro that!) Back on track... Nice idea that would be helpful to old and new players alike! If your in a small corp that doesn't have enough members to have mining runs daily, this could help them out. I know dropping secure containers in a field for miners is already done but this could enable them to stay out longer with out the need to have them emptied as often. Also, those players mining with basic industrial skills would only have to drop off 1 container instead of several, thus making the basics a bit easier. Sitting in an industrial idle while someone mines (or using an alt account) is often the safest way to go with out the loss of gathered ore while you go "Back and Forth" from belt to station, or from belt to station to industrial to belt to station with the ore to mining ship and back to field. This improvement could lessen the blow. Also, its a bit annoying to have to buy a crapload of those containers just cause a hulk can fill one in about 1 cycle. Would like to see them modified to be more inline with ships and needs. Like having giant secure containers have the capacity of a basic fitted industrial with like 20,000 m3 and degrading from there. Players mining in a frigate could find use for a medium secure container with a space of like 2.5k, cruisers and a large with like 5k, bc, bs, and basic barge could use a huge with like 10k. Not saying that players couldnt buy a giant one and mine for quite some time, just giving some figures for the various sizes.
Dunno, but that is my 2 cents.
