Vikarion Caldari United Heavens	Posted - 2008.02.14 04:48:00 - [3] Until Blinking Red comes and ore-thief's them. Failing that, 1 hour for sure, 2 hours max. --------

Sokratesz Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.02.14 07:04:00 - [5] I wouldn't trust them for more than 45mins, just to be safe.
Cpt Fina Mutually Assured Distraction	Posted - 2008.02.14 07:09:00 - [6] According to what i've been told: 2 hours of which the last hour it can pop anytime.
Niccolado Starwalker Shadow Templars	Posted - 2008.02.14 07:19:00 - [7] Originally by: BlackDragonShadow For mining purposes. according to the "Tip of the day" CCP have on the login screen it says Jetcans and Wrecks lasts for 2 hour in open space.

Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita The Reckoning.	Posted - 2008.02.14 14:51:00 - [10] Having watched one being used on a mining op go poof, I can tell you its two hours, plus or minus a minute. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.
Malcanis R.E.C.O.N. Black-Out	Posted - 2008.02.14 15:16:00 - [11] Originally by: Sokratesz I wouldn't trust them for more than 45mins, just to be safe. I've never seen one last less than 90 minutes. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.

Maestro Ulv Edyta Enterprises Sylph Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.14 15:45:00 - [13] Two hours. The 1-2 hour thing is an old wifes tale told to little noobs so they go to bed on time.
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2008.02.14 15:49:00 - [14] In the one mining op I've been involved in in the last year we had one can get to 1:54 before we noticed and went Oops. ---- Anything less is wasted effort
Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2008.02.14 15:50:00 - [15] Honestly, I have never seen a jetcan disappear before two hours. Ever. I routinely run mining ops where I leave my jetcans in space for 1:45. ---------------- Tarminic - 32 Million SP in Forum Warfare Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.78.3 (NEW VERSION!)
Henry Loenwind	Posted - 2008.02.15 02:32:00 - [16] Originally is was 74 minutes to 2 hours. That was changed in a patch (Revelations?). Now it is exactly 2 hours.
Solomunio Kzenig Amarr Ordo Ministorum MERCURY RISING.	Posted - 2008.02.15 02:35:00 - [17] 2 hours, as said above I name 'em with the time they were jettisoned just to make sure i don't go over the 2 hour mark.
NightF0x Gallente Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2008.02.15 03:19:00 - [18] Read the Show Info and it says they are guaranteed for 1 hr. Anything over that and you are on borrowed time. ------------------------------------
Karma Eve University	Posted - 2008.02.15 11:00:00 - [19] popular opinion and one of the login-tips says that jettisoned cargo as well as loot-cans and wrecks last at most two hours.

Wet Ferret	Posted - 2008.02.15 11:12:00 - [21] Originally by: Janu Hull Having watched one being used on a mining op go poof, I can tell you its two hours, plus or minus a minute. I agree with this. I've watched cans and wrecks that I haven't named pop at the two hour mark like clockwork after salvage missions just a little too late.
Franga NQX Innovations	Posted - 2008.02.15 12:21:00 - [22] I've heard rumors of an in-game help channel ... no, seriously, I have! Originally by: Rachel Vend ... with 100% reliability in most cases ... General Aesthetics Changes Thread
Turpis Vita	Posted - 2008.02.15 14:02:00 - [23] Factory guarantee for a can is 1 hour, after that it can pop any time. However, 2 hours is not maximum. I've seen cans that have been 4 hours old and have not popped when I collected them. My suspicion is that the length of time a can survives after the first hour probably depends on server load: Quiet node = longer lasting cans. But as stated, don't trust the cans beyond one hour.
Hohne Antares Fleet Yards SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.02.15 14:22:00 - [24] Edited by: Hohne on 15/02/2008 14:24:43 Guaranteed for an hour. I have had them pop @ 61 minutes (and they were named). I have seen one last 14 hours and across a downtime. It just depends on when the cleanup is run, which will depend probably on how many cans are out there, how busy things are, randomness etc. Basically. Count on replacing them before an hour is up, and you won't lose their contents. FYI, naming them has 0 effect at all, the code doesn't care that it is named, it only cares how old it is when it runs the cleanup process.
Spartan IV	Posted - 2008.02.15 15:14:00 - [25] It is definitely 2 hours not only confirmed by CCP in their "tip of the day" in the login screen, but I have tested. My can popped at exactly 2 hours. I had named it with the time i created it and exactly 2 hours later it popped. They will never ever pop before 2 hours has expired. I constantly mine and never haul my cans before about 95 minutes has passed. Like I said I have tested and they don't pop before 2 hours, ignore anyone who says otherwise because they are just repeating what they have heard.
