Because, you're going to buy them back again, and again, and again...

Always used a DBE fer this...does everything I need it to do and does so efficiently...and its cheap to replace when things go south ^
Oh! Quite right! I thought it was restricted to just passenger cabins, but apparently not.
Then you have to pay for moving the module to your place.
So what, is it a problem, it is taxed maybe?
So are they doing this going from 3 back to one. that would set things back in my opinion does anyone know for sure??

Right now, I throw them away again, and again, and again...
Deliberately grinding mats is a waste of time and effort (IMHO).
They come easily enough just from playing and with the mats trader I don't even need to farm high wakes any more for DWEs, so I have even less need for a dedicated ship than I did before.
I've long since had one.
It's an Asp Scout.

Collectors, check.
Wake-scanner, check.
SRV, check.
Use for Asp Scout, check.
Been flying this around since 2.2, it's a beautiful thing.

I like to use my Viper 4 because of the accel/decel rate... makes it easy to scoop things.
Another excellent way to collect manufactured and raw mats is RES mining. My turrets kill stuff, my mining lasers break rocks, and my collectors just pick up the whole damn show. With RES mining and the traders, it should be pretty easy to fill up most of my storage in no time.
Come to think of it... that will be tonight's test!
Also, in case anyone hasn't considered it - when fighting in conflizt zones you will often come out with tons of abberant shield pattern analysis (like it usually maxes out your data). Anyone should be able to just pop into a CZ and scan the crap out of everything for some easy G4 data to trade.
P.S. The rest of you guys don't already have a mat collector ship? Y'all are a bunch of casuals, yo.

I love the FDS and would love to use it for this task. My only concern is the poor jump range. Should be doable though and yeah it is a fun ship to fly!
^^^ This.
Though I must admit I've already been fitting a wake scanner on most of my ships so the trip out of mass lock won't be wasted time, most of my ships carry an SRV because they're so much fun to fly, and my Python carries a collection limpet controller for salvage missions.
I'd go down to 4A thrusters, the Dolphin is fine with them and you'll gain some jump range and power budget, and maybe consider hanging a couple of small mining lasers from the hardpoints (for mineral mat collecting).
You may not, but some people (me included, occasionally) are too lazy to scoop themselves.
To collect everything in sight. The Ignore Materiel list is great.
Genus is correct, though. I have all my major work done.
When I got this mood, I've switched to be less expecting of engineering outcome, doing it for more used ships (first), and taking a break between all these excitements of grindeneering.
What's this?

You don't need it, you can still scoop the mats manually with the cargo hatch.
But it is going to be a lot of picking, so using limpets makes the task far easier and quicker.
