I have an idea for a armored cargo containers that are indestructible. Its primary purpose would be that the container w/contents are 100% guaranteed to drop if the ship carrying it should be destroyed. For game balance and realistic physics, the container should use more m3 than it can contain. example: 200m3 container can hold only 100m3 of product.

i kinda like how the nasty ppl who kill me dnt get all my stuff.

cant think why i'd put something in a box to make sure they got it when they pwn me. unless this is an odd revival of the CTF idea What?

In that situation, it may be fun to leave a cleverly named bookmark insulting the reader who finds it in the container on your wreck. I was thinking more along the lines of haulers who have an escort getting alpha popped, this way the spare/decoy hauler in the fleet can "pick up the ball" and continue to mission.

It would have its uses. You could also ask for one that always drops and is password protected---even better if it always drops and becomes automatically secure, openable only with hacking and a minimum time of 10 minutes to get it open. That way people can fight over the loot as they try to open the box. :)

I'd put one of these in my hauler, with some kind of name on it to make it sound like the contents are rare and ridiculously expensive. Inside, I'd put a bookmark to nowhere important, and use the name of that bookmark to inform the gankers that they've just been had.
