What I find annoying about limpets is that they self-destruct after they bring back something that you selected (mostly by mistake while looking at Contacts)
This. Even among all the other nonsense that is collector limpets, THIS singular behavior is the most illogical, insane and inexplicable behavior of limpets. Self-destructing after grabbing a targeted item first is something for which I have YET TO HEAR a rational explanation, either from Frontier or anyone else for that matter. It's basically a punishment for having priorities instead of waiting on limpets to randomly pick up whatever the hell they WANT first. It baffles me--and ED isn't my first videogame either.
