Hi there so i encouter a problem that i jetisoned some giant freight containers so my corp can access them in space or even other players can use it but i really searched for an option to change the access right to a container until now nobody execpt me can put stuff in one of the containers or take it

my question is how can change the access right? so that my corp can put stuff in it or take it or even how can i change it that everybody can access it?

and if there isnt an option i would suggest and access right option where you can choose who can access to a container like only very good standing or corp or even everbody out there

There are two types of containers:
- Secure containers, which can be anchored
- 'Normal' containers, which cannot be anchored

If you anchor a secure container, then you can set a password to control access. (See https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Secure_containers )

However, if you don't anchor the container (either because you forgot, or because you cannot) then the container will "belong" to you. AFAIK only people in your fleet can access it. You can abandon the container and grant everyone access to it, but nothing more specific. And of course, anyone can steal from it, if they are willing to get a suspect flag. Also, if you don't anchor it, it will disappear after 1-2 hours.

Can someone access contents by looting, destroying or scooping an anchored secured container in high sec?

You can't scoop containers that are anchored. You can only scoop unachored containers


Looting is possible, if you can access it. So if it's is password protected, you need the password.


Shooting it, I believe they are high resist, high HP items...but not sure if they changed that.

Freight containers are a little strange. They were never meant to be in space. (originally, freighters couldn't pick up, or jettison items).

Because they were never meant to be in space, they are very easy to abuse. Anyone can scoop a freight container, no suspect timer. They also have exactly 1hp, so even a newbie ship in 1.0 can explode them.

Honestly, don't use them. Use anchorable cans.


(FYI, to avoid confusion, I'm referring to Giant Freight Container, and it's cousins. Not secure containers, or audit containers. If it has "freight" in the title, those are the cans I'm talking about.)

Freight containers are meant for organizing cargoholds. They only appear in space for looting wrecks purposes, hence they are not secure.

Example: When a corp moves from station 'A' to station 'B', it is common for members to put all their stuff into freight containers labelled with their name, and either contract the freight containers to the corp's hauling leader, or drop them in a QUERY-only hangar division. The containers are moved for the member, and dropped into their personal hangar at the destination. In lowesec and nulsec, unpackaged ships that don't fit into freight containers are also moved for members in a similar labelled manner, and hauled via carriers.
