Volume: 10000m3
Capacity: 12000m3
Basically, this is a step up from the GSC. It is useful for mining operations, unlike its smaller brother.
Discuss.

Up from page 5.
Has anyone who mentioned the orca or an alt as the solution ever considered the fact that not every rookie character has access to an orca, and not every player has an alt? And even then, have you considered that not every mining operation is a fleet of hulks? They are still fairly expensive and skill intensive, after all.
Stop spewing out garbage that only applies to 20 mil SP industrial characters. Rookies, small corps, and po' folks are people too.
Oh, and the Orca can't carry 300k m3, it can carry 85k m3. Know the difference. |

And no oneÆs worried that this may kill off haulers? Make single player mining a little too easy? well... i guess ccp is ^^
Why would this kill off haulers? If anything, it'd make their lives a tad less miserable. You have to look at it from the viewpoint that this isn't designed to be used with a hulk, it's to be used with a gang of retrievers. Hulks don't need these, their cargohold is already big enough.
When a gang of retrievers (or non-barges, for that matter) need to dump their load every three minutes, they have two options: A jetcan which can be flipped, or a GSC which is really not big enough. A jetcan is not practical because of ore thieves, and a GSC is not practical because the hauler would have to go to that location every six minutes. Having a larger secure can would give haulers and miners alike a much larger buffer to work with.

You do realize that not every Tom, ****, and Harry have access to a 750 mil ISK ship, right? Right?
