repair limpets

[CMDR_Tobi]

i visited an engineer to modify my repair limpets for my exploring anaconda but there wasn't an option to modify them
guessing it isn't implemented yet

Inara says all it does is giive them like shielded .... None of the limpet eng's do anything usefull ... just like the fuel scoop one .... nothing useful

all i wanted was lightweight

On that note, I have to ask...

Can somebody offer a reasonable explanation for why there isn't a fuel-scoop mod' which.... increases the rate of scooping?
I know it's pretty zany and radical but, y'know, it might just turn out to be useful. [where is it]

Seems like FDev got 60% of the way through figuring out what mod's to provide for weapons and modules and then realised they'd ran out of time and just gave all the remaining mod's "Utility" status and gave them a bunch of generic, halfassed mod's.

As if they would. How dare you.

We suggested a few a while back. I liked the idea of a Fuel Scoopercharger which would give you say 200% FSD boost by scooping certain star classes but wouldn't let you scoop fuel normally. Means ships like the Beluga can properly buff their jump range as they've got the fuel tank to do it, other ships will do it once and run out



As for repair limpets, yeah, no good mods yet afaik.
Fortune/Sarge/Ram Tah are the limpet engineers, if they can't do repair limpets lightweight then nobody will.
