Limpets and Hard Point Deployment

I didn't think limpets needed hard points deployed in order to use them, but my new repair limpets wouldn't launch until I deployed my weapons... Am I doing something wrong, or is this the way it is?
 
Way it is, at least with hatch breakers and collectors. Dunno about the repair limpets.

Hmmm... Well if I ever become a Fuel Rat, I'm going to scare the pants off some poor new guy just hours into the game when my Conda shows up and deploys all those glistening weapons in order to refuel or repair him / her.

Hahahaha I never even considered that. Ya I assume so. Aren't they usually winged up with the person in need or on the mic tho with them? I would hope they know it's you before you deploy hardpoints.
 
I’ve always had to deploy hardpoints to fire fuel limpets when Ratting.

Whenever I get assigned onto a rescue call, the first thing I do is remove weapons from the fire groups. Saves accidents.
 
Repair, Fuel and Collector limpets don't need hardpoints deployed to fire. Just be sure it's mapped to a fire button, you've selected the right fire group, and you have targetted the receiving vessel.

One thing you don't need to worry about when you've called the fuel rats is not having all the information about what's going to happen before, during and after the rescue...
