Inverse docking

[Saber]

Wouldn't it be better if we had a multifunctional new tool? I would call it a tractor beam (I know, sonnot orignal). You could use it to pull floating items to you or, when linked to a docking module, pull ships to you and then dock them.

You mean like the pull beam? =P

Yes, but then one that can dock and put floating items into an inventory.

Hmm, I still don't think we'd need a new block for this. I'd say a pull beam linked to a docking module would work for inverse docking, and salvagers could either be made to pick up floating objects, or maybe you could link a salvage computer to your shields, so when a floating item touches your ship it gets put in ship inventory.

You have a point there.
