Hi Billy, a Jetcan is what is made when you Jettison cargo into space. When mining, Jet the ore and open the can that is made. Then when your lasers pull more ore in you just transfer it into the can. when you have filled the can up (it has 27k M3 cap) you dock to get your Badger and haul the ore in.

technically ore theft is a part of the game and possible - guess its the risk of having the jet cans versus secure cans that i presume cant collect floating ores ?
Perhaps an intermediate solution would be allowing hte player to deply some combat drones to protect it for a short time while you travel between stations ?
Or longer term jet cans tha can last up to 2 hours ?
Gotta be careful though not to flame anyone else up so just take my contributions with a discussion approach only in mind.
Using a Jetcan for mining wasn't really what the Devs wanted them to be used for. So in doing so, you run the risk of it being stolen so no defense precautions will be added apart from the secure cans.

N/m, the Giant Secure Container only uses 3k m3... I've never used one before because they don't hold much ore copared to a jet-can.

It's not very likely that someone will steal your ore in .5, but it's upto you i guess. Goodluck

With a jet-can you can wait for them to leave... they upped the time for cans to 2H without even naming them.
