Throwing stuff into outer space is all kinds of fun already, but for bonus points some objects can be anchored so they'll stick around for a while - password-protected containers are all kinds of neat, and this will show you how to launch one!

Launching for Self is not so much the selfish thing that it sounds like - anybody with the password can open it, and if you launch for corp only particular corp members can anchor / unanchor it. Not sure if you get special rights yourself.

Launching for Self is not so much the selfish thing that it sounds like - anybody with the password can open it, and if you launch for corp only particular corp members can anchor/unanchor it. Not sure if you get special rights yourself. You also can't launch a container within 5000m of another object.

After launching the container, you will want to anchor it in space before it decays (you have two hours) or gets scooped up by somebody else (LOOK BEHIND YOU!), so spot where it went and right click that bad boy:

=== Anchoring a Container ===

Anchoring the container will take 60 seconds and cannot be done in 0.8+ sec systems~~, within 5km of~~ another ~~object or within 25km of a POS~~.

Anchoring the container will take 60 seconds and cannot be done in 0.8+ sec systems. Unanchoring the container takes another 60 seconds.

Now your big floating box is safe in space, but its contents are not - yet. Time to set a password:
