Maybe they are.
I'd thought I might throw one on my bubble Courier. Trouble is my bubble courier is lightweight in order to have a 48LY jump range and boosts at 851. I can't see a 52 ton limpet controller (or even a 40 ton one) being a good fit with that
One of these things literally outmasses my entire Exploration Courier.Maybe they are.

This is sweet
I just checked and my bubble Courier is 58 tons, of which 6 tons is an SRV bay lol.
So with a multi limpet controller...
Then don't use them if you have the room to fit the functionality you need with single controllers, that's the compromise I guess
I do wonder how much time went into these, but hey, we've got more options & lost nothing but a bit of designer & dev time with the addition of these modules
No, we lost dev time and gained useless modules in return. Rescue is designed for explorers but weighs as much as some ships. Mining can't be used because prospector limpets are not destroyed when you deploy collectors. This, sadly, shows that FDev do not play their own game. And there are some recent decisions that make me truly believe that, like the CG FSD engineering disaster
Can't really say I disagree with any of that, but still, you have lost nothing, just not gained anything (in your specific use case) either. Just carry on as if they don't exist just as I will with mining
More evidence, alongside Odyssey's UI, that these guys never actually load up their own game and do basic tasks and gameplay loops. These new modules are absolutely silly.
The weight of these is just silly.
LOL the speed loss I could live with but losing 20LY range on a 50LY ship is brutal stuff. I'm all for compromise in outfitting choices and avoiding lolships but I have to think this goes slightly overboard. I mean it's not as if having a couple of different types of limpet is the golden key to the executive bathroom of Elite gameplay is it?
Actually, this is also true. As of now, the mining multilimpet controller is useless.
Yeh...FDevs keep doing game formally. As task says 1 to 1 without thinking how it will be played. Bad approach.
Gal/Sys maps are near "no-use" too already.
Yes plz !
Make the multi controllers modulable. let us chose what we want them to do (just a checkbox to tick on a dedicated screen while docked at a station).
class 3 get 3 checkboxes to tick
class 5 get 5 checkboxes to tick
class 7 does everything
----------------------------------------------
And, i feel like the numbers of active limpets on the old controllers and the new ones are reversed.
The old ones are the specialized ones, they should be able to control a LOT of limpets for THAT role and perform well.
The new one are the polyvalents ones, less limpets to control but can do several roles and perform "less" well.
For exemple :
3D collector controller gets 2 limpets
3D operative controller gets 1 limpets
make both of them have the same weight.
That should be a fair balance beetween them. And removes the need to abitrary limit the MLCs to 1 per ship.
PS : If you are conserned about repair MLC getting a "double malus" compared to the standard repair controller. That is less limpets AND less repair capacity.
Keep in mind that players equip the repair controller for the repair capacity, not for the number of limpets and rarely/never reach that limit anyway.
so, the malus in number of limpet is irrelevant.
Same for hatch breakers and decontamination, number of limpets is irrelevant, repair capacity/hack speed is.
Point is, if player want peak performance for the chosen task they must get the specialised controller. that is true for any task.
Performance come from efficiency or number of active limpets depending on the task.
Atm peak perfomance for collectors and fuel transfert (number of limpets) is achieved by an MLC, that is wrong.

the description is wrong, the infinite lifespan applies only to prospector limpet. the collector limpet dies after a while. also the range is somewhere in between 950-1000m for collector and 5000m from description is for prospector. the collector part is just slightly below regular 3C specs.
i've brought one for core mining, since i too thought that range and infinite timespan would be great, but i've soon discovered its nothing like the description and thus making the multi mining collector useless for any serious mining operations.
it might have been worth for begginers/small ships with limited space, but the weight kills it, especially for unengineered ships.
at current state the multi collectors are a bad joke...
I cannot wait to see the class 7 multipurpose module, there are 6 ships that can take it, how many can take off with it equipped?!?!
150 tons for the class 7, only the biggest ships with the largest frame shifts can take the penalty this gives.
Boy have FDev got it wrong

Wishing for size 2 to fit on my small ship.
