possibly a cargo hatch breaker. they're used to open your cargo and have some fall out.
Nah, no biggie. Esp if you didn't have anything.
It can't penetrate shields. Just makes you poop cargo.
nah some npcs trying to fire them off like missiles even after then have scanned me lol
+1 for that reference.
You can avoid cargo limpits just by simply turning off your cargo scoop in the mods panel, you dont need power to it unless you do a lot of scooping (and it helps when those pesky pirates turn up with limpits too lol)
I normally switch mine off but did not know that it was a way of foiling hatch-breakers. Seems another reason to not bother pirating if it's true :-(
its worked for me, but it doesn't stop them shooting the hatch out

True I spose, and if they had to shoot your shield out then cargo hatch would be next if you're running away, as prob quicker than taking out fsd.
That still works? Tell me again why I pirate and don't blow pesky traders out of the sky?
Well so does blowing traders out of the sky.
Do you mean to say pirates arent cute, cuddly and inept cannon fodder, here for our entertainment? FUUUUUUUUU*ragequits*
Why don't you find out?
Ahahhaaa all my rep be going to this pic
Anyway limpets defeated by a shut down hatch will only expedite death of said trader. Piracy wise it only affects the purse-snatch method. If you're going for the disable & cleanout approach instead then it just means pewing cargo hatch instead of using limpets once the ship's dead in the water.
*space is water, that's why ships have top speed and kinetic weapons have range dropoff
