Containers lootable in space?

Is the stuff in containers like urns or julklapp 2011 safe from pvp in space?

AFAIK any stackables you have in the containers will be looted, but not the container itself.

If they carry stackables, like loots off of mobs, and any mining material, then yes.. Others like guns ammo armor and the like no. :wink:

ok thank you for quick answear :rolleyes:

But your gas tank is safe .. just convert it to oil and go. then extract the oil at your destination and sell.

and thinking i’ve crossed space once or twice with a few stuff in containers thinking it was safe xD

Yep it’s easy to feel a false sense of security. :wink: In fact I have loaded a container then put it into a vehicle then put that vehicle into another vehicle and then done it once more… Since I have only ever carried one piece of dung in space, I have never been looted.. :smiley: lol I just realized what I said had nothing to do with the containers. :laugh:

I have personally tested this with various boxes, vehicles, shopkeeper, etc. In every case I tested, the stackables remained lootable.

Lol the shopkeeper idea goes a bit far ;p
Never thought of that one.

Imagine if MA released a few Safe containers which can not be looted? They would be worth a fortune!

If they do put in a ‘safe’ container such as a special cloak, it’d be cool if they build it based on something like Cloak’s cloak. http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs8/i/2005/357/8/1/Cloak_and_Dagger___Finished_by_No_Sign_of_Sanity.jpg

but…

Make it look like Quasar’s cape…

All material and resources that are stackable (have a counter associated with them and can be combined) except for a few items that can not be traded are lootable no matter where they are in any containers vehicles or otherwise.

ex. the MM keys for the instances not lootable because they are not tradable (I have had them on me for over month now and shot down and looted many times but they never get looted), My friend has a material that has no stackable counter, think it is some old remminent form pre VU10 or 9 and that item is not lootable even though it is in materials (We tested it out by me shooting him down an looting him and it was not lootable).

RULE of Thumb: Anything that would normally go into the Materials or Rescources Section of your Back-Pack should be considered Lootable. (No matter where you shift it to !)

We already have a system where we are able to move materials and rescources safely and securely through space, much to the irritation of some. It appears that MindArk may currently be working on closeing off existing loop-holes that exist outside of this system/option.

To the best of my knowledge any stackables placed in carried containers of any kind have always been lootable. At one time you could fly into space with the container of a vehicle loaded with stackables and leave the vehicle spawned on the Hangar Deck of a Mothership and your stackables were safe. You were even able to spawn a vehicle in Hangar and place items in the “Vehicle Inventory”. These avenues have now been closed. You can no longer even enter space if the Vehicle Inventory has anything in it.

The only existing loop-hole outside of the “Currently Provided Secure” means of transpotation of goods seems to be the ability of being able to log out of game in ten(10) to twenty(20) seconds, by whatever means is nescessary. I believe that over the next few updates this year this issue shall be addressed.

How it is to be addressed I don’t know. I would be inclined to think that “Log-out time in Space” may be extended somewhat.

Another issue that still exists is the “Forced Teleporting” from server line to Space Station. The ability to “T” in Space was removed some time ago. This however did not stop people from logging out, logging back in, dieing in space and respawning at the nearest Space Station in that Server Area. This issue could possibly be addressed by making Quads and VTOLs “Static in Space”. That is,upon logging out when you are in one of these types of vehicles, when you log back in you are still safe and secure in your vehicle and able to contiue your journey.

For most people addressing both of these issues in such a way is not benificial in general. It will reduce their options of security and extend the time they must spend travelling from Planet to Planet. The only people who will gain any benifit from this will be Privateer and Mothership owners like myself.

This is a sad reality for most people, but it helps me to justify the time and financial investment I have made into EFA and the Bismarck. It is my sincere hope that the majority of Entropia Participants appreciate the time, effort and finances that Entropia Fleet Alliance and other Servixce Providors put in to help them move their goods Safely, Securely and Affordably across the Entropia Universe.

are enhancers lootable? they are stackable!

No, they are also located in your weapons area of your storage. :smiley: Just the materials area and minerals area. And even then some things like MM keys are safe. It is mostly things like animal oils, hides, ores, and enmatters, etc… :slight_smile:
