Limpet Controller

2019-08-08T10:27:17Z

2.29.246.183: /* Notes */ Limpets do sometiems move around objects, but sometimes they don't. So I added the word "sometimes" for accuracy.

[[File:Limpet Controller icon.png|thumb|300px|Limpet Controller icon]]
'''Limpet Controllers''' are a series of shipboard [[modules]] used to control limpet drones. The drones can be launched from the ship to do various tasks depending on the type of limpet. The limpets are disposable, consumable items you have to replenish at a [[Starport]] under the Munitions section, or via [[Synthesis#Limpets|Synthesis]], and your maximum capacity is limited only by your cargo hold. All types of drones share the same disposable items; Limpets are programmed at time of launch, and so only a generic Limpet item needs to be carried - you don't need to worry about juggling the logistics of your various types of Limpets if you have multiple different Controllers installed.

== Drone Types ==
[[File:Manticore Drone.jpg|thumb|250px|Limpet drone]]
=== Collector ===
{{main|/Collector/}}

Collector limpets collect items in space and deliver them to their ships cargohold. Useful for [[pirate|pirates]] needing to gather cargo in a hurry and for [[mining|miners]] with lots of ore to scoop.

Collection drones have two modes. The primary mode scoops the object or canister you're currently targeting. The secondary mode has an area effect, scooping everything it can before it expires. In the latter mode, Collector drones move more slowly, but can gather multiple items before expiring; otherwise, they self-destruct when the designated item has been retrieved.

=== Decontamination ===
{{main|/Decontamination/}}
Decontamination limpets attach to a target ship's hull and remove any caustic residue left by [[Thargoid Interceptor]] missiles. At the same time, the drones also repair a portion of the target ship's hull, but are less effective at repair work than Repair drones.

=== Fuel Transfer ===
{{main|/Fuel Transferer/}}
Fuel Transfer limpets let a player send one ton of fuel to another ship, while in flight. Ships can carry additional fuel for their escort fighters and extend the effective range of their [[Wing]]s.

=== Hatch Breaker ===
{{main|/Hatch Breaker/}}
Hatch Breaker limpets can be fired upon the targeted ship and upon contact break its Cargo hatch, thereby ejecting the target's cargo over time. It can be countered with [[Point Defence]] Turrets.

=== Prospector ===
{{main|/Prospector/}}
Prospector limpets scan asteroids, scouting for mineable materials they contain. They are very useful when seeking rare ores.

=== Recon ===
{{main|/Recon/}}
Recon limpets hack into data points, such as those found on [[Bulk Cruiser]] [[Megaship|Megaships]].

=== Repair ===
{{main|/Repair/}}
Repair limpets repair the targeted ship's hull. If launched without an assigned target, they will repair the hull of their parent ship instead. Depending on what type of Repair Limpet Controller is installed, multiple limpets can be active on a ship at a time; exceeding the module's limit of active limpets will cause the oldest active limpet on the target to self-destruct.

=== Research ===
{{main|/Research/}}
Research drones attach to targeted [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s, [[Thargoid Scout]]s, or alien organic lifeforms found at [[Notable Stellar Phenomena]], and retrieve a research sample, such as a [[Thargoid Cyclops Tissue Sample]], which is then stored aboard the ship as a [[Commodities|Commodity]].

==Notes==
* Limpets are stored in the ship's cargo hold, unlike most other consumables. Each Limpet takes one "ton" of storage space.
* Limpets are consumed when first activated, and cannot be recovered even once their task(s) are completed. The following conditions will result in Limpet (self-)destruction;
** Task Completion. Limpets will self-destruct when their task has been successfully carried out.
** Life-time Expiration. Limpets will eventually self-destruct when the control timer (as listed in the Controller's specifications) reaches zero.
** Control Range. If the Mothership flies too far away from its Limpets, they will automatically self-destruct.
** Enemy Fire. [[Point Defence Turret]]s may fire upon Limpets, especially Hatch Breakers, and subsequently destroy them.
** Collision. Limpets sometimes do not attempt to maneuver around objects such asteroids, wrecks, or other ships; they can easily slam into something and will be destroyed as a result.

{{quote|The Type-9 Heavy is Lakon Spaceways large freighter class. This ship is built to transport large cargos, a job it does very well, but it doesn't stand up well in a fight.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Type-9 Heavy''' is a heavy freighter and is one of four freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. Currently it has the second largest cargo capacity of any ship available, and is roughly competitive with the much pricier Anaconda as a trader. Pilots that can afford an [[Anaconda]] frequently prefer them for trading, as they feel the greater FSD range and manoeuvrability makes up for the slightly smaller cargo capacity, allowing the Anaconda to move more cargo more quickly overall, and to a wider variety of destinations. This is at least partly a matter of 'feel', however, and many pilots continue to use the Type 9 as a trader even after obtaining Anacondas.

The Type 9 exhibits worse manoeuvrability and lower speeds than any other ship in the game; it has extreme difficulty in shaking smaller [[ships]] from its blind spot. Its five weapon [[hardpoint]]s, including three medium mounts, allow it at least some defense. Equipped with turrets, they can at least force smaller ships to operate with caution and give the Type 9 a chance to escape, but its shields and armour are nearly as bad for its size as its manoeuvrability. Most combat ships have at least a good chance to take it down if it doesn't get away quickly enough.

It first appeared in the development diary videos and in some of the live streams done by [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]]. Later it appeared in the early Alpha stages and is one of the four ships that was in the first release of the Premium Beta.

Many pilots have problems fitting through the entrance of [[Station]]s while they're first getting used to the Type 9, and it can therefore be very expensive for a new pilot to get used to. A [[Standard Docking Computer]] can be useful for players who have trouble docking this ship.

Type-9 is one of two ships in the game that boasts an open Class 8 internal module (the other one being the [[Imperial Cutter]]), although putting anything but a [[Cargo Rack]] into the Type 9's class-8 module slot eliminates a major portion of its cargo capacity and virtually neutralizes it as a serious trading ship.

It should also be noted that the the type-9 heavy has better manoeuvrability when stopped, even though it isn't very useful in combat, it's handy for docking.

{{quote|Another classic design that has survived the centuries. The first vessel was constructed in 2700 by Whatt and Pritney Ship Constructions. With the demise of the company and after various mergers and takeovers the ship design is now owned by Faulcon deLacy. The ship remains the slow and sturdy craft it was originally famous for and some smaller navies still use this class as a patrol cruiser (although tiny compared to the Imperial Interdictors and Federal Battle cruisers).|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, boasting considerable maneuverability for its hulking size. Despite being exceptionally powerful and potentially useful in a variety of roles, the Python does suffer from exceptionally high operating costs, making it a potentially cost-prohibitive option for many pilots.

It is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, maneuverability, and protection currently available. In addition to being capable of holding its own against the larger [[Anaconda]] in a toe-to-toe frontal battle through its substantial protection and firepower, the {{PAGENAME}}''' '''is generally agile enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turret mounts.

The {{PAGENAME}} can also serve as a heavily armed freighter in that it can carry 284 T of cargo with a class 3 [[shield]] module fitted, or 292 T with no shield fitted, both of which is more cargo than the [[Type-7 Transporter]] can carry without shields fitted. Additionally, besides being able to carry more cargo while retaining shields, the {{PAGENAME}} can dock at [[Outpost]]s since it utilizes medium sized landing pads. However, the downside to trading with a {{PAGENAME}} is its higher repair/maintenance costs and its shorter jump range when fully loaded.

The weapon hard points are located as follows: 1 medium and 1 large hardpoint on the top of the ship slightly behind and on both sides of the cockpit for a total of 2 large and 2 medium on upper surface, and 1 large hardpoint on the underside of the ship about where the cockpit is located. The under the nose mounted large hardpoint has good vertical field of fire when gimbaled or turreted (considering its location) which gives the Python a good field of fire where all weapon hardpoints can track and hit a target (when gimbaled or turreted).
