Hi all,
For some reason this post disappeared last night when I tried to post it? or was it me?

Just need a bit of help in picking up a very small Integrated Circuit which I can see but cannot lock on to, so cant use a drone/Click to put in my Hold in fact it just sits there - as daft as I am. Tried to ram it etc. etc. already spent hours on it.

Thanks

Okay... let us diagnose this.

- Were you within 2500m of the container?

- Were all the NPCs in the area killed?

- Were you looking at a jetcan (see: floating cargo box) or were you looking at your own cargohold? (these things can get mixed up if you are stilling getting used to the User Interface)


Also... drones can't pick up a loot item for you. This includes Salvage Drones.

How did you Veterans start?

My apologies to all,
Have just come back and where I was approaching from the Link that said where the chip was, there was just a blue small circle.

Kept trying to load that, then 30+km away I finally noticed a container, there it was. You have just reminded me that most times it is a container.

As I said talk about Dumb.
Thanks

no need to apologise Space Friend.

The only truly dumb questions in EVE are the questions you don't ask. It's a complicated game.
