While don't NPC pirates attack cargo container or jet can?

I think this could be such a simple little change to the mechanics of EVE that would have some big consequences. I see belt belt littered with giant secure cargo container, why let the the NPC take care of this. Sure maybe in Higher sec belt it would the NPCs more time to pick them off, but your leaving them there all the time that should carry some risk risk. And with jet can the NPC should be able to pick them off fairly easily, forcing you to be quicker about picking them up.

I'm curious what other might think about this, or how you might change this up and make it a better idea.

I think would make miners pay closer attentions, would cut back a little AFK mining.

Thank you for presenting such a necessary and well thought out proposal. I think that NPC's not attacking cans is #1 or #2 problem right now in Eve. Hopefully they will at least give the serious thought and attention this matter clearly needs. +1

Jet cans only have a max life time of 2 hrs, after which it is replaced with a new one.

Anchored Secure Containers have a 30 day life timer which is reset when accessed.


Personally I don't see anything wrong with them.

Right now CCP needs to concentrate on fixing content that's bugged or not finished. They don't need to mess around with stuff that is already working just fine.

Also there's another sub forum channel made specifically for 'Proposals'. It's known as the Assembly Hall.

What are you going for here? I still don't see why. AFK mining.....? You OCD and just want the belts tidy?

OP, the bathroom is that way ->


Serioulsy though.. you have an idea that you want to post, at least give some thought to it before posting it. What you are proposing makes no sense, and its not needed.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

OCD, yes.

I know there are much bigger problems that need to be addressed with EVE, I was merely suggest this one tiny little thing which would make miner pay a little closer attention to what was going on in the environment around them.
