Cargo Scoop
The Cargo Scoop is a standard piece of equipment mounted to the ship that enables the collection of cargo canisters that are freely floating in space into the cargo bay of the ship.
When the cargo scoop is deployed and a valid cargo canister is selected as the current target, the target schematic is replaced with scoop helper interface.
The Cargo Scoop uses 0.60 MW of your ship's reactor power, which is not visible in the outfitter, but can be seen in your power management panel as "H1 Cargo Hatch".
How to scoop cargo
- Press the corresponding button. Default: Home
- Position the ship so that target cargo is centered in the scoop helper interface.
- Fly towards the cargo, ensuring that the representation of the canister remains centered in the crosshairs.
- Reduce speed until movement lines in the scoop helper interface are blue. Failure to correctly align or reduce speed may damage your ship and/or your cargo.
- You must be at 5m or less from the cargo and it will be picked up by it self
