While checking my assets, I noticed a canister icon listed in a High Sec station. That item is listed as:
Name = ‘Tongofur - The Tanch’
Group = Miscellaneous
Volume = 1 m3
I right-clicked it thinking I could select ‘View contents’ and only got these 3 options in the menu:
Show Info - Add To Market Quickbar - Trash It.
I selected ‘Show Info’ which opened a box with the description - Asset Safety Wrap.
I checked the ‘Safety’ tab in Assets window which is empty. I then traveled to the station where the item was listed and docked only to find there’s nothing in the station yet the item is still listed in my assets.
I basically have no idea what it is or how to access it. I don’t want to ‘Trash It’ without first seeing what’s inside it.
It took me a while too to figure out how it works.
When your in the station, it’s in a separate ‘hanger’. I forgot the name of it. You can then drag the “safety wrap” to your regular ‘hanger’, and the contents will be transferred. It usually requires paying a fee.
The whole process is so clumsy and counterintuitive, I battled with it again the second time around, and will probably be puzzled again next time
Yeah, it’s definitely confusing, especially when seeing the container listed in the assets station tab when there’s no can showing in the station items hangar.
Before I posted this thread, I checked support for info and needless to say it didn’t explain any reason for the issue presented in this thread.
The only thing I can think of is maybe I had already redeemed it in the past which might explain why it wasn’t listed in the Assets ‘Safety’ tab. However that doesn’t explain why it was still listed in the Assets ‘Station’ tab.
I just had this took some helpful people in HELP channel in game to explain what it is/was (the search doesn’t show its contents) or not at least 36 jumps from where my pod was.
From my understanding because the initial item wasn’t claimed in 20 days from the station going pop (1536 days ago) its cost me 20% isk value of its contents to claim the items back. (you cant pick and choose either).
It will have the name of the station prior to it going pop too. It had some random name XXX-XX - bope owned. I found out bope owned was the stations name. It wasn’t called that when my old corp. owned it which threw me.
There doesn’t seem to be a time limit either, that I have seen on going to claim it.
It cost me 2.7bill+ to get my items out of it. But everything that was in the station that clearly no longer exists was in the container. So anyone want to purchase 21 carriers in 0.4 space?
I have containers that I cant afford too. I only came back to the game with ¬35bill.
