'''Standard containers''' are comparatively small and used in ships that don't have the capacity of a [[hauler]] or [[freighter]] to increase the size of their cargo space. Since standard containers have a higher capacity than volume, pilots can actually gain space by putting them into their ships. Getting multiple smaller one instead of a bigger container is less efficient and thereby standard containers are generally not used to sort or separate cargo.

'''Standard containers''' are comparatively small and used in ships that don't have the capacity of a [[hauler]] or [[freighter]] to increase the size of their cargo space. Since standard containers have a higher capacity than volume, pilots can actually gain space by putting them into their ships. Getting multiple smaller one instead of a bigger container is less efficient and thereby standard containers are generally not used to sort or separate cargo. All the standard containers have a gain of 20% space.

Although there is the option to 'Launch for Self' when right-clicking them in the cargo hold of a ship in space, this will simply jettison them in their assembled state. This does not anchor them and other pilots can scoop the container, though doing so in a High-Sec system will generate a [[Timers#Suspect_Timer|suspect timer]]. Be advised that the now assembled container is much larger and might not fit into the cargo hold again, since items can only be repackaged in a hangar. It will not despawn on [[Server downtime|downtime]], though, so you have time to pick it up again.
