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). | Containers in EVE come in a variety of forms: cargo and station containers, with and without password protection and audit logging.
