Manticore Limpet
Limpets controlled by this module can collect canisters and asteroid chunks automatically. Two modes of operation are possible. First a chunk or canister can be collected quickly by deploying the limpet whilst targeting the object in question; this will consume the limpet. Second a limpet can be deployed with no collectable object targeted and will result in the limpet entering a slower autonomous mode where it will collect any available object automatically for a set time. To collect asteroid chunks in either mode requires a Refinery module to be fitted.
— In-game Description
Collector Limpet Controller Limpets are used to collect canisters or asteroid chunks within a given area. If the object is not targeted the drone will collect within an area for as long as it is alive. Collector Limpet module can stack, and having more than one fitted allows for deploying as many active limpets as described, one at a time if necessary.
If there are no valid targets within range for multitarget Collector Limpets to collect, the deployed Limpets will attempt to remain close to their mothership until they expire or until a new valid target enters their range.
Collector Limpets are useful to all pilot roles, as they can be used to quickly retrieve Synthesis resources (or ill-gotten gains) from destroyed ships, used to safely retrieve items (such as Black Boxes or Occupied Escape Pods) from Exploration sites and Signal Sources, or used to easily gather up asteroid resources whilst Mining.
