Tag and go?

I have an issue that buthers me for a long time.
If i tag some cargo pods and then call jafs to pick 'em up, do i have to stay in the area for waiting to jafs to leave first in order to save the taged pods? or can i tag them to a light blue colour, call jafs and leave without worring about the pods not getting to my base?

You can leave the area... Jafs will pick up all tagged pods. And do it faster than it would normally take. As you LDS away you can open your status screen (CTRL-S) and watch your pirated pod count. It'll be updated as soon as Jafs gets back to the base.
