Make limpets function as re-usable drones.

I think the sacrifice of the internal slot is more than enough for "balance." Collector limpets should return to the ship to refuel when they typically expire. I think the prospector limpet controller should be replaced with a swarm launcher that analyzes and scans the rock before returning to the ship. Needing to restock limpets is a chore and it's not fun.

You're not the first one to suggest this and I still echo the sentiment. Limpets are already a chore to manage at the station; collectors compound this by being stupid, suicidal, disposable lemmings that pop instantly if you tell them to get a specific piece of loot. So much aggravation.
