Limpet Controller

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. All types of drones share the same disposable items.

Drone Types

Hatch Breaker

Main article: /Hatch Breaker/

Hatch Breaker drones can be fired upon the targeted ship and upon contact eject the target's cargo over time. Countered with Point Defences.

Collector

Main article: /Collector/

Collector drones take canisters in space and deliver them to your cargohold. Useful for pirates needing to gather cargo in a hurry and for 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 its power expires.

Prospector

Prospector drones scan asteroids, telling you what metals they contain. Very useful when you're looking for rare ores.

Fuel Transferer

Main article: /Fuel Transferer/

Fuel Transferer drones let players swap fuel while in flight. Larger freight ships can carry additional fuel through extra Fuel Tanks for their escort fighters and extend the effective range of their Wings.

Repair

Repair drones work much similar to fuel transfer drones. The only difference is that it repairs the ship instead of refueling it.
