Line 263:

Its disadvantages are that jetcans only have a life span of 2 hours and they are not secure, meaning [[Can_Flipping|anyone can open and remove items from a jetcan]]. This is a common form of theft and griefing in the game where a player will "flip" a jetcan either to steal the ore or to induce a fight [[CONCORD_Details|without CONCORD intervention]]. One possible way to combat this is to use [[Mining#GSC_Mining|secure containers]] which can be programmed with a password; unfortunately, the largest, the giant secure container (usually called a GSC) can only hold 3,900m3 of ore and thus is considerably less efficient than a jet can.

*Note: With the addition of the [[Venture]] aswell as the change to mining barges and exhumers, all specialized mining ships now have ore holds, ranging from 5km3 ([[Venture]]) to 35km3 ([[Mackinaw]]), making this a much less common mining technique.
