Does it really need to be as long as it currently is?

Also it would be exceedingly helpful if we could actually see a timer until we could next jettison. If not on the cargo hold window then perhaps in the right-click menu next to 'Jettison' .

Support, only way decent alternative is to jettison something and open it up and drag other stuff i want to get rid of.
I'd say get rid of timer altogether personally, or make. akey to hold down and I can click individual stuff to jettison. Shift just selects everything between two clicks.

You know you can ctrl click to select multiple seperate items right?

With the current size of cans, there is no need to create them more often than the current rate.

Alternatively, use a ship with a fleet hangar such as an orca or a deep space transport ship. That said, Ctrl+A to select all works, Shift+Click works to select a series of items, and Ctrl+Click works to select multiple items. Love your shortcuts

There is a point, It sucks when your hold cannot retrieve the tractor unit and jettison and try to add items and the damn thing has been sucked into the mobile tractor unit. Sure drop more than you think you need and pick it up after picking up the tractor, but it is easy to mistake the quantity or forget. So a nice to have a tiny QOL thing but there is a point. I guess the timer is there to slow down seeding a gate with corpses or single ammo.

Stop using a MTU to tractor your can and use a ship with a character controlling it so you can tell him when the can is ready to tractor.
