SRV Grappling Hook

The change to limpet behavior has removed the ability to farm raw mats from your ship again. That's honestly understandable, but it does re-highlight an old frustrating with SRVs: the way materials can often fall in places you can't reach them, or how you risk getting your SRV stuck to get in close enough to get them.

It'd be really nice to have a little grappling hook you could fire at stuff to pull it in, so you can get access to these difficult-to-reach materials, and don't have to risk getting your SRV stuck to do it.

It wouldn't even really need to be terribly complicated. Just make the 'grappling hook' be a visual effect(not a physical object), so you just have to have a good target lock on the material and it shoots out and reels it in.

That would make the whole experience much nicer.

Or they could just make it so we can pick up the mats while on foot. We can already break them off/appart with our hand held weapons, and it's not like the nuggets are bigger than some of the things we already can pick up.

That'd be nice, too. It's not like they're any bigger than the items we pick up like Power Regulators. They could easily go into the same storage and feel realistic.

I think this is worth trying. It's small things like this that help glue the game together. Sometimes I just want to keep running to see what's over the hill instead of running back to my SRV, but my SRV is what gets me around quickly.
