Containers

Introduction

Containers are objects used to store other objects in a station, a ship or in space. They come in a variety of forms: cargo and station containers, different sizes, with and without password protection and audit logging. All but the station containers can be launched from a ship and secure containers can be anchored in space. Also whenever an item from a ship's cargo is jettisoned, an ad hoc "jetcan" cargo container is created. Containers can be used to

  • sort objects in stations into named categories,
  • for restricting resource access to certain members in a corporation,
  • as an in-space advertisement,
  • to minimize hauling runs during mining by "mining into a can" (either with Jetcans or Giant Secure Containers),
  • as a deep space supply depot for ammunition and charges,
  • for "can-baiting" unassuming capsuleers into shooting them, thus making them a suspect and easily gankable (this is griefing and not allowed in E-Uni),
  • to increase cargo space (some containers are bigger on the inside),
  • for de-cloaking cloaked ships at tactically important locations.

In space they have a life time of about 2 hours if they are not anchored and 30 days for anchored secure containers.


  • jet-canning:
    a miner jettisoning the mined ore into space creating an object labeled "Cargo Container" in-game but called Jettison Container or jetcan here for clarity. This jetcan has 27500 m3 capacity and can be filled up while mining and hauled to station later. This reduces hauling time for solo miners or lets a miner 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). The lifetime of a jetcan is about 2 hours or until next downtime.
  • secure container mining:
    while mining put your ore into a secure container to be picked up later by you or a dedicated hauler. Using a Giant Secure Container instead of a jetcan removes the risk of losing it but it is much smaller (3900 m3) and requires buying it and hauling it into space.

Notes:

  • Prices are lowest trade hub sell prices and provided for orientation only. Medium and Large Audit Log Containers have very low trade volume.
  • Data is from in-game info and EVElopedia. Note some inconsistencies e.g. packaged volume of huge vs. giant freight containers.
  • Signature radius data for some containers is neither available in-game nor in EVElopedia.
  • "Jetcans" are automatically created whenever a ship "jettisons" any cargo items and destroyed when they are emptied.

Secure Container: This Giant container is fitted with a password-protected security lock. Note: the container must be anchored to enable password functionality. Anchoring containers is only possible in solar systems with a security status of 0.7 or lower. Requirements: Anchoring Level I

AL Secure C: This large audit log container is fitted with a password-protected security lock. Requirements: Anchoring Level I

  • You can jettison cargo, i.e. create a jetcan, only every 2 minutes.
  • scanning and double-wrapping:
    Cargo containers are scanable even inside a ship's cargo hold. There are only two ways to make cargo un-scanable: either use a Blockade-Runner which has an un-scanable cargo hold or set up a courier contract for a secure container, the latter will make the container "double-wrapped" and un-scanable in the couriers cargo hold.

open questions

  • can freight containers be jettisoned/anchored at all?
  • freight containers have no pwd/log?
  • what is sig radius of non-secure containers?
  • do standard containers have 10HP?
  • what is mass relevant for?


Sources and References

This page is based on EVE-WIKI: Cargo Containers, EVElopedia: Secure Containers, Grismar: Secure Container, Grismar: Cargo Containers, Grismar: Jettison Container and EVEinfo: Giant Secure Containers. It covers the status quo as of Rubicon 1.3 (March 2014).

Container Types

Cargo containers can be stored in stations and ships, jettisoned into space, anchored in space and eventually scooped up again. They can be distinguished into 3 types:

Container Type
Category password protection audit log hitpoints
Standard Container no no 10 HP
Secure Container yes no 5k - 50k HP
Audit Log Secure Container yes yes 100k - 10M HP

The password protection uses two passwords, one to access the container at all and a second one that is required to reconfigure it. Password protection also depends on your personal and corporation security settings.

Launch for self

In this case anyone who knows the password can access the container but only you can unanchor it. When you launch the container you must be at least 5.000m away from the nearest anchored object, such as an asteroid, a space station, another container (including your own) or even a ship wreck. This also applies to the methods explained below. Launch for corp

Launch for Corp

When a secure container is launched for a corporation, only members of the corporation which have the Equipment Management role will be able to anchor and unanchor it. This can be useful in large corporations as you will want to keep control over where vital containers are located.

Size

Containers come in different sizes, some of which will only fit in stations. Some are slightly bigger on the inside than on the outside and thus can be used to increase cargo space on a ship. Stacking containers is not possible.

Cargo Container Sizes
Size outer Volume inner Volume
Small Container 100 m3 120 m3
Medium Container 325 m3 390 m3
Large Container 650 m3 780 m3
Huge Container 1 500 m3 1 950 m3
Giant Container 3 000 m3 3 900 m3 fits in some T1 industrials
Jettison Container (jetcan) 27 500 m3 27 500 m3 created when using "Jettison"
Freight Container 120 000 m3 120 000 m3 fits in a Freighter
Station Container 1 000 000 m3 1 000 000 m3 does not fit in any ship
Station Vault 10 000 000 m3 10 000 000 m3 does not fit in any ship
Station Warehouse 100 000 000 m3 100 000 000 m3 does not fit in any ship

Small Secure Container 100 m3 120 m3 5 000 ISK
Medium Secure Container 325 m3 390 m3 14 500 ISK
Large Secure Container 650 m3 780 m3 31 000 ISK
Huge Secure Container 1500 m3 1950 m3 67 500 ISK
Giant Secure Container 3000 m3 3900 m3 152 750 ISK

Anchoring

A container that is jettisoned from a ship can be scooped up by anybody even if it is password protected. If you have the Anchoring skill and are in a system with a security status of 0.7 or less, you can also "Launch for Self" or "Launch for Corp" instead of "Jettison" and this will anchor the container.Anchoring will take a little time. You also need to set a password after launching it or anybody will be able to access it. The password can only be changed by repackaging the container at a station. Red light/green light.

Related Topics

The Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU) and Mobile 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 Mobile 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.

COSMOS

COSMOS refers to several things in EVE:

  • COSMOS constellations are star constellations in high sec and nullsec space that contain COSMOS sites and COSMOS story line agents
  • COSMOS sites, complexes and landmarks are sites that often exist permanently and can be used for completing COSMOS story line missions or farming special items, some are gated, some have beacons, some need to be scanned down
  • COSMOS story line agents (or event agents) are agents that give out unique missions or start short mission arcs, they do that once, i.e. missions can not be repeated
  • COSMOS data centers agents give faction standing for tags, so you can essentially pay for faction standings
  • there are also COSMOS agents that will give you faction ship BPCs if you have very high faction standings, once

All these were introduced starting with the COSMOS Cold War Edition patch in 2005.

Why run COSMOS missions and sites?

  • quickly increase faction standings This is especially useful for traders and retired faction warfare pilots. COSMOS missions and data centers give significant faction standing boosts similar to epic arcs or regular storyline missions. This is probably the most popular aspect of COSMOS. See the Gaining faction standings fast guide if you are interested in this aspect.
  • get special items Most missions rewards include rare storyline items or their BPCs, sometimes also faction loot. While storyline items are typically not as good as faction or deadspace items, they still have their value.
  • lore The storyline missions arcs reveal quite a bit of EVE's colorful background history.
  • exploration This part of EVE is much less documented than about any other aspect. The few existing guides are partially contradictory and also incomplete and probably contain errors (including this one).

Why avoid COSMOS?

  • waiting In practice, many missions and sites require a lot of preparation and waiting because of slow spawn and respawn timers and heavy farming. It is usually recommended to farm or buy mission items before accepting a mission if possible.
  • puzzles & bugs There is no clear sequence how agents need to be asked for missions, but there are nevertheless dependencies and agents might not talk to you a second time. Thus it is possible to block off mission arcs by accident. Some mission descriptions are also deliberately unclear on where or how to complete them.
  • bad ISK per hour Apart from a few exceptions, you will gain less ISK running COSMOS missions than with

Who can do it? The easiest COSMOS security missions can be run by total beginners in a basic combat frigate. There are also many delivery missions that require no more than a basic T1 hauler. However be careful as these are sometimes interspersed with more challenging combat missions. All missions have a standard mission rating of level 1 to 4 and some sites have a DED rating, so these can be taken as a guideline. As with the epic arcs a few missions are on the high end of difficulty for their level. Because of the sometimes confusing nature of some missions, some experience with mission running is recommended before starting.

The information on this page was compiled from several sources and personal experience. Note especially that the information about minor faction agents and nullsec COSMOS sites is very spotty and definitely incomplete. Corrections and additions are very welcome.

This page gives you an overview of COSMOS sites and missions. Because of the complexity of the topic, it is recommended to check multiple other sources.

These are the constellations that contain most of the COSMOS complexes and agents. For some factions there is also a lowsec system that contains COSMOS sites. In highsec:

  • Araz in Kador (Amarr) and Kenobanala system in Derelik
  • Okkelen in The Forge (Caldari)
  • Algintal in Sinq Laison (Gallente and Thukker Tribe)
