Station hacking is awesome, but cargo drone behaviour needs to improve

Post by Johnson98 » Tue, 15. Sep 20, 23:53

I love hacking stations, destroying build storages and traditional pirating.

All these activities however are very headache inducing currently because those cargo drones just can´t dock at their ship in a civilized manner and prefer to play bumper cars instead.
They´re not only painfully slow but also push eachother away when alligning with the ship´s drone bay, delaying the whole procedur indefinitely.
Cargo drones need a fix, they either:
- need to create docking quees when docking
or
- completely deactivate their hitboxes when docking

And since we´re already talking about cargo drones, could we get a better way of ware selection please? Currently we can only either collect all containers in range or collect one at a time with individual orders.
I think the "collect selected" option could be way more useful than it currently is if we´d had a way to mark multiple containers like we could in X Rebirth.
That´d improve a pirate´s qol significantly and give more gameplay option than just boarding.

These things definitely need help... I can't even pick up cargo with them. They're so slow most of it despawns before they get anything IN the ship, and I'm better off just getting it manually.
