Ok folks time to learn about Jet Can mining. This is a very common practice with only a few down sides and many benifits. The first thing you do is have something in your inventory. Could be anything from ammo to a bookmark. Once you do you will create a Jetissoned can. It has a cargo hold of 27,500m3. The catch is it will only last for 2 hours once you jettison it. And after those 2 hours its gone so your screwed. So heres some advice. Once you jet a can name it with your name and the current eve time. You can find the eve time in the lower left hand corner of your screen. Don't feel bad if you never noticed it. It took me 3 months to find it. Then you know at least when your 2 hours are up. Now away around the 2 hour limit is to just make a new can every hour or so and transfer the contents of the cans. This can get out of hand quickly though if your in a big mining barge. Now this way you can either mine alone and switch to a hauler on occasion but this works much better with a buddy. Now the other downside to this is that its just a can accessible to you. It can be stolen or can flipped. See the other forum post about can flipping for more information. Suffice to say you only want to do it where you know your safe. You can can mine in low sec but be advised people can blow your can up in low sec with out penalty. If anyone has anything to add please do.
