On-foot cargo grapple

[rootsrat]

Slightly random idea-

A rifle slot item, you shoot a cargo canister, and it deploys an anchor and pulls the can to you on foot. Disengage, and it resets for reuse. Get it close enough to a cargo hatch, and your ship can scoop.

For non-SRV loading of cargo on planets. Perhaps being grappled should pause the canister timer, just have it take incidental damage from rough handling?

Great idea! +1

You don't need any special suit for this, really. I've recently tested it myself

Hillarious

I'd gladly give up a second weapon on my Mav suit to accomodate a grappling hook. Let me be Space Batman. So many applications... hook onto an object for hasty stealing, yank a guard away before anyone can blink, LATCH ONTO A DEPARTING SHIP FOR A QUICK ESCAPE (at least to get enough alt that you can boost futher away faster).

The more I think about it the more I want it...

Imagine a mod for it where it was an e-breach wire that you could access all the things with (sort of like something that got scrapped from Cyberpunk) ... except you're now permanently shoot on sight of course.

I think I've played that game. It was one of the Zeldas wasn't it?

Sure, and in ED's setting it'd even have elements of Bionic Commano and Space Harrier. BONUS.
