Mining can be a lot of fun, but collector limpets are dumb. They will vacuum up all the useless junk dropped by pirates who attack you and I end up dumping material at least 2-3 times per mission to jettison all the Salvaged Alloys and Worn Shield Emitters they're grabbed. Instead of grabbing the minerals from the asteroid I'm mining right in front of me, they're ranging thousands of meters away to grab useless junk from exploded pirate ships. What's even worse is that once in a while, a pirate will be carrying something illegal and then . . . . thanks to your collector limpets . . . their illegal cargo has now become your illegal cargo and the system security forces won't care how it got there.
It would be nice if the Limpet controller could be programmed (or have a filter) to only grab minerals and other non-engineer stuff.
