is dropping a jet can the new exploit or soemthing in these?

does it double up as a "ship" that can do contested beacons while they sit off grid or just orbit at 200km?

what gives?

The timer doesn't run down if you leave a can by it. If the timer prevents others from contesting it while it's there, it's no problem for them to blow it up.

If you find a FW plex with anchored giant secure containers around the button, a GM will destroy the site for you.

Usually people drop jet can on landing point so they know where people will land when they enter plex. Beacon that marks landing point is not quite visible.

It is an old lowsec trick, which also serves to uncloack any stealth ships entering your pocket.

yes i realise the can to help with cloaked ships but this is a few km of the contested beacon. not within the landing part as you warp in.

in this case its too far away to decloak anything.
