== Introduction ==

Containers in EVE come in a variety of forms: cargo and station containers, with and without password protection and audit logging. ~~Most~~ can be jettisoned from ~~your~~ ship but also anchored in space. They can be used to sort your loot, as in-space advertisement, for mining (jet canning), as a supply depot, for can baiting unassuming noobs, ~~for~~ cargo space ~~increase~~ and more.

Containers in EVE come in a variety of forms: cargo and station containers, with and without password protection and audit logging. They can be jettisoned from a ship but also anchored in space. They can be used to sort your loot, as in-space advertisement, for mining (jet canning), as a supply depot, for can baiting unassuming noobs, to increase cargo space and more. In space they have a life time of between 2 hours (unanchored) and 30 days (anchored).

=== Use Cases ===

* jet canning: while mining put your ore into a container to be picked up later by you or a dedicated hauler

* inventory sorting: in station put your modules and ships into containers named by category

* organizing resource access in a corp: in a corp, use different containers and corp roles to only let specific people access certain resources

* can baiting: jettison a container into space so an unexperienced player will pick it up and become a suspect (yellow flashy) so you can shoot him (this is griefing, not allowed in the Uni and may be against the EULA)

* advertisements in space: put a secure can near a gate or station and name it to advertise something

* cargo space increase: put a cargo container in your hauler to increase cargo capacity

* in-space supply depot: put ammo and other supplies in a secure container somewhere in deep space
