So when killing off pirates, is there a way quicker than manually picking up the loot they drop? It completely spams the player inventory. Is there a way to collect it directly into ship-based storage?
I fully endorse this, along with a loot shooter that takes from storage and propels items out. I must have cargo transfer!Connecting salvage beams with storages makes them put their output in the storage.
Would be good if we could achieve the same for pickups, by connecting the core to a storage.
It is default. The first time I killed a pirate in my unmodified single-player game, I wasn't warned about that and I thought the exact same thing as you: "OMG Loot pinata!"I guess I should not complain, and it is not a complaint. But I was amazed at how much STUFF comes out of the pirate ships. They are like loot pinatas! I can kill a couple of pirate ships and make 10 million credits easily. Is that just the default setup on my server, or is that the way it is supposed to be?
its official, i will from here on out refer to pirates as "Piñatas"In a typical dogfight I consider myself fortunate if I spot one of the elusive "loot pinatas".
Since you're using the proper spelling, I assume you know at least some Spanish... so you can probably agree, if there's only one letter separating "piratas" and "piñatas"... it was meant to be :Dits official, i will from here on out refer to pirates as "Piñatas"
Their loot drop amounts can be configured in the config file. but until their default drops get vastly lowered, they shall be known as Piñatas :D
haha ya, iv been living in buenos aires for over ten years now. (long story) at first Spanish was hard, but now im super chillin with it. i do however have to copy and paste the "ñ" as i have an american keyboard :pSince you're using the proper spelling, I assume you know at least some Spanish

Just like I learned ALT+0223 for when I feel like typing the only German swearword I know :DYou could learn the keyboard shortcut (Alt 0241) ñ
So basically a space vacuum? Hey, that might work. Not sure how hard it'd be to put that in the code, but we can say it works through magnetism. Or gravitons. Or something.I'd love it if they also added some sort of device for easier pick-up. Either a pulse-style area effect, or perhaps a wide cone-shaped effect that picks up loot, similar to a salvage beam. Bonus points for a turret that can detect loot and pick it up for you. In a fight with a group of pirates, I hardly have time to focus on loot collection, and by the time the fight is over I have no idea of the location of any of it.
Why not just use the existing salvage beam system? Maybe with the added functionality that if anything impacts a salvage block, it is automatically grabbed without needing to activate a beam.So basically a space vacuum? Hey, that might work.

It might lead to a cloaked passerby stealing your lootz, though... though I imagine that's already possible with the current system anyway. Kinda reminds me of EVE's salvage guns in a way.
