How do I transfer cargo from a TS to a TL while OOS mining?

I have been messing around with OOS mining and have TS's collecting ore rocks...tis good. But I want to collect that ore in a more automated manner using a TL.

I know that TS's can no longer dock at a TL. So can I use the TL and cargo drones to collect from the TS fleet in that system and drop it off at another station some where? And could you please explain how and what tools I would need?

I have searched and looked at various guides (text and Video) to little avail. So I guess I have to ask now.

Trying to use TLs for anything except station building is incredibly awkward.

Ahhh, thank you. Missed that guide I guess. Looks like it will answer my need.

As for TL's...I have found them to be very handy with enough cargo drones.

You can use a Transporter Device while OOS. Just tell one to follow the other, then use the "Freight Exchange with..." option once they're close enough.

Or wiping out a sector with MKII drones/laser towers
