New Citizens Q&A

Hey guys i was just in a worm hole and hacked a container a nice one 200m it said, after i clicked the loot all button it flashed and then was empty and non of the loot showed up in my inventory, is this a known issue with the loot all button or is something else odd going on ? and tips info would be great please and thanks

Just a guess but was there enough free cargo space in your ship’s cargo hold? :thinking:

Though I think you should file a support ticket about it so a GM checks the logs. Of course if you want to ask players for confirmation first that is also reasonable.

Did you accidentally press a key that acivated one of your loot filters?

The items may still be there, but hidden. Or hidden within the container.

It has happened to me before, although I do assume that the ‘loot all’ button loots all including items hidden by the filter. I’ll test that behaviour next time I get to a can.

Did you check your cargo hold redshirt?

It might just be a delay. I have noticed that there is sometimes a significant delay (a couple of minutes) when moving assets between different hangars or states (as in when accepting a contract, for example). I have had it happen when moving items from my ship cargohold to station hangar. Items do not show up in station, and only after I close the inventory window and reopen it do they appear.

It’s some type of a new bug or something. If that’s the case for you, then you should have found the items by now.

Repliers above have mentioned some good ideas, some other:

  • You accidentally hit your guns while looting and blew up the can
  • You were looting a ghost site, the rats warped in and destroyed the can
  • The site had already been hacked before (possibly a once failed, non-visible and then abandoned hack, or a twice failed hack which kills the can… were there any already hacked cans in the site?), the 4 hour timer happened just before you managed to loot and the site respawned.

Hey folks thanks for the the ideas and answers, no loot filter was hit i went back and double checked all the looted cans, no cans where destroyed or shot. it was not a ghost site as no hostiles spawned or showed up. it was a one shot on the hack and all the other cans where looted just fine. i really do appreciate the feed back and just trying to give some more details to try and figure out what exactly happened

Thanks again for all the responses and as far as a ticket would go to gm how would i go about doing that again still very new to eve just cam back after a long brake
