Oh, oh great - I'm north of Sagittarius A* and you launch this
lol
No, I am NOT going to self-destruct just for this
Nope... nor me!

Over at the Seagull Nebula about 3500ly away.
I think you just sell it back to the station via commodities market
There's an obvious workaround for the Open Play restriction. Find the cards, buy five, go into Solo, fly to Godel Ring, switch to Open and jettison them. Five of your waiting mates scoop them in Open, dart into the station and flog them. Everyone will be trying this so the only place to pirate a canister will be immediately outside, or even inside, the station (who cares about a few fines when there's £900 at stake?)
If what FD were hoping for was a totally chaotic shootin' and scoopin' free-for-all inside Godel Ring then congratulations, because that's what you're going to get. Is this the "rare and meaningful" PvP that David was talking about?

you cant sell stolen goods at commodities market. (or they made the canister a special one which never gets the stolen flag).
Hmm. So this is a "competition" that's effectively only open to those who have (or can afford) excellent combat ships, and are good at PVP.
It doesn't affect me, I'm 12kly away anyway, but I'm not very comfortable with that concept.

OTOH, fun trolling opportunity for somebody who doesn't want the prize:
1. Buy it in a Sidewinder or Hauler or whatever.
2. Travel to near Godel's Ring in solo, to invalidate the claim
3. Slowly supercruise through the destination system
4. Watch the pirates fight over the goods.....
5. Chortle privately
I bet they only allowed it to be "abandoned" from cargo hold so it retains it's IFF code as legal tender.
Sorry, but considering how US players have been acting in other games with competitions that have timezone wise favored them, I cannot really feel that this is unfair in any remote way.
Recently I've noticed that any stolen cargo can be jettisoned and collected and it stops to be stolen
Military plans were worth 40k but if you could be bothered to jettison them and collect back they were worth 57k each Hmm. So this is a "competition" that's effectively only open to those who have (or can afford) excellent combat ships, and are good at PVP.

Yeah according to some sources the station has no black market so they probably just added one in a silent patch
that is a pretty severe bug that should be reported...Recently I've noticed that any stolen cargo can be jettisoned and collected and it stops to be stolen
ah have you checked? i was about to head over and have a look...
lots of things come up searching for "black"... could it be one of those i wonder?
Probably a silly question, but is the graphics card a Titan Black or a Titan x? I ask because the titan x is the newer one

and then ram the canister !
I didnt read every post in the thread yet but what about combat logging? for expample when i attack someone whos got a titan black in his cargo hold and he logs out before i can shoot his cargo hatch open, will he be disqualified?
