Limpet Drones counts as cargo

[loki12345]

Something i just realised while playing the beta (so i dont exactly know if this is a beta or a general problem):

Limpet drones counts as cargo. This is

1. unrealistic, because no other "ammo" works like this
2. is a big problem because you can't just switch to a different ship with smaller cargo hold

So can we please change this to some kind of ammunition? This would also help with restocking. Currently this is the only thing you have to restock manually.

Really - you didn't know limpets were big cannisters that you have to load up into your cargo racks so that your controller(s) can programme them as drones to perform set functions and then send them off with their engines, grabbers and navigation systems all working full belt?

My Guess a player who did not read the manual.

honestly no i did not know, maybe its my bad ;-)

But i still think it is a bit inconsistent with all the other stuff. But ok, i can live with it.

Would still be nice if we could store stuff that does not fit in another ship somewhere at the station or just let it be in our old ship.

Yeah I agree with you about the lack of sense here, but it’s been that way forever.

You also need to restock ammo, missiles etc., although it is true that they do not take up space in your hold.
Personally I would not mind at all if ammo stores where introduced to our ships.
We should then also be able to expand them by buying ammo store modules. This would work great for munition based weapons.
It could be fun if we could penetrate the ammo store of an enemy ship and cause internal explosions . It would be much less fun if that happened to me though .

In the end its a game though. The devs need to make choices.

Hmmm ... You can sell-back limpets from your hold to the station you know. Just click the opposite arrow-head in the restock screen.
