The Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU) and Personal Depot are not considered containers, however they share some of the game mechanics and overlap in practical use. | The '''Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU)''' and '''Personal Depot''' are not considered containers, however they share some of the game mechanics and overlap in practical use. | ||
The MTU is similar to an anchored container with a tractor beam attached. It will tractor in everything inside its ??? km radius. It has much less hitpoints than a container though and can thus easily be destroyed. | The '''MTU''' is similar to an anchored container with a tractor beam attached.

The Personal Depot is like a secure anchored container with a refitting service and a reinforcement timer. So it is very difficult to destroy and superior in most cases to using a secure container as a supply depot in deep space. | The '''Personal Depot''' is like a secure anchored container with a refitting service and a reinforcement timer.

The term jet-canning describes a miner jettisoning the mined ore into space creating a canister (not a container). This canister can then be filled up to its 27500 m3 capacity and hauled to station later. This reduces hauling time for solo miners or lets you easily cooperate with a dedicated hauler in a mining op. However it also risks loosing the ore to anybody who picks it up and doesn't mind the resulting suspect status (yellow flashy). | |||
