Please fix limpets!

NO!
However, self-destructing limpets is just dumb IMO. I can see not reusing a prospector or hatch-breaker limpet, but the rest of them should return to our cargo bay (or better yet, be stored in the limpet controller itself) when finished.
Different grades of limpet modules could repair and refuel limpets at appropriate rates. And have appropriately sized racks.
It's always REALLY annoyed me when a limpet that can hit an asteroid and keep working explodes immediately when it bumps a little bit of scrap. Or how they expire after hauling a single ton of cargo when you target them. Or how they happily try and pull in all the forbidden or worthless materials unless explicitly told to not do EACH one. Separately.
It's not immersive, it's idiotic. It's not like they're a money sink of any consequence.

I'm for the classic suggestion.
Universal Limpet Controller with limpet storage for multiple types simultaneously, separate to your cargo bay.
Limpet storage capacity should be generous, and they should be refilled when you restock ammunition.
Collector limpets should be reusable if they make it back to your ship safely.
I think most players would appreciate that, except for those who see Limpet Musical Chairs as a significant load-out choice for build balancing.
