The '''Cargo Scoop''' is a standard piece of equipment which is mounted to every ship. It allows for the collection of [[Cargo Canister]]s and other materials that are floating in space. Deploying the cargo scoop and targeting a valid scoopable object will cause the target hologram to be replaced with a scoop helper interface. A deployed cargo scoop will draw 0.60 MW of power from the ship's reactor - this value can be viewed in the power manage panel as "H1 Cargo Hatch". Once collected any canisters will be deposited into [[Cargo Rack]]s while raw materials will be deposited into a [[Refinery]]; if the corresponding module is not available (full or not installed) the target will not be collected. | The '''Cargo Scoop''' is a standard piece of equipment which is mounted to every [[Ships|ship]].

The cargo scoop is shown as Cargo Hatch on the ship module list and it is a common practice to move it into the last [[Module priority control|module priority group]] or to turn it off completely to free up some energy (if one does not need to be scooping cargo with hardpoints deployed). This can be especially useful for small combat ships, such as the [[Eagle]] or [[Viper]], with 0.6 MW being a significant percentage of these ship's power plant output. Turning off power to the cargo hatch prevents deployment of the cargo scoop and opening of the cargo hatch door. It does not damage or affect any cargo stored in the cargo racks, nor does it cause the hatch to open and cargo to spill out of the ship. | The cargo scoop is shown as Cargo Hatch on the ship module list and it is a common practice to move it into the last [[Module priority control|module priority group]] or to turn it off completely to free up some energy (if one does not need to be scooping cargo with hardpoints deployed).
