'''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.
'''Limpet Controllers''' are a series of ship [[modules]] used to program and control simple limpet drones. The drones can be launched from the ship to perform various tasks depending on the type of Limpet Controller. Each Limpet Controller module is specialised and only capable of managing one type of task, and if a pilot wishes to use multiple functions, they must either install multiple Limpet Controller modules with the appropriate functions or a [[Multi-Limpet Controller]].
 
The limpets managed by Limpet Controllers are cheap, disposable munitions stored in a ship's [[Cargo Rack]]s. They can be replenished at ports or via [[Synthesis#Limpets|Synthesis]]. Limpets remain blank templates until they are deployed, at which time they are programmed by whichever Limpet Controller is activated by the pilot before being launched from the ship to carry out their assigned task.
