Option to remotely disable collector limpets

[DIREVUS]

During mining, it is often the case (at least for me) that you have an excess of limpets, and want to clear some of them out to free up cargo space for more loot.

You can't just jettison the limpets from your cargo hold, because your collector limpet will merrily grab them and stuff them right back in your hold.

It would be nice if I could select my collector limpet from the Contacts menu and tell it to shut down. Even better if I could then scoop it and redeploy it later, but if you prefer limpets to be stricly one-use items, then it could self-destruct when I tell it to shut down.

Launch limpets, then turn off limpet controller, anything in use self destructs. Launch more turn off again, rinse copy repeat.

Or dump them and have some target practice

Thanks for the tip Delmonte, I had not thought of switching off the controller module.

Still think a disable from the Contacts menu would make more sense, but this gives me a solid workaround. Cheers.
