Can we have freight containers in space back or is this intentional.

Freight containers cannot be anchored, therefore they are subject to trash collection, unless near a POS [my interpretation is "within control distance of a control tower"].

As far as I know, they were always cleaned daily, otherwise Niarja / Uedama would be littered with them.

I honestly figured that the enormous freight container behaviour in space was actually a bug. They have very little HP, really screwy crimewatch flagging, and never got cleaned up with downtime.

Those things were never intended to be floating in space (only freighters could move them, and for a long time freighters couldn't jetcan).

The entire thing just meshes with the way CCP does things. "These things will never be deployed in space, no need to include "space" behaviour for them."

However, you don't just jettison them from a freighter. CCP uses 'Launch for self' option, just as it does with MTU.
It's a damn shame... as a newbie, I've just discovered how elegant mining can be with containers floating nearby. Ugh

Confirmation that this will not be "unfixed" - however if you suffered a serious loss you are encouraged to petition for it.
