Limpet Controller: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Limpet Controllers''' are the controllers for 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]]. All types of drones share the same disposable items.

'''Limpet Controllers''' are the controllers for 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.

Line 6:

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 canister you're currently targeting. The secondary mode has an area effect, scooping everything it can before it expires.

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.

Line 35:

Research drones attach to targeted [[Thargoid Interceptor|Thargoid Interceptors]] and retrieve a research sample, such as a Thargoid Cyclops Tissue Sample, which is then stored as a 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.
