Collector limpets are core equipment for mining builds — picking up fragments blasted off asteroids — as well as for salvage, collecting cargo ejected from destroyed or looted ships. A Commander who wants to actually keep the proceeds of mining or salvage generally needs collectors running; without them, loose cargo drifts away or must be scooped manually.

			== Mining role ==

			Collector limpets support every main mining method:

			* [[Laser Mining]] — collect ordinary fragments broken loose by mining lasers.
			* [[Core Mining]] — collect fragments and deposits after detonation and abrasion blasting.
			* [[Sub-surface Mining]] — collect chunks released by displacement missiles.
			* [[Surface Deposit Mining]] — collect deposits dislodged by an abrasion blaster.

			For mining, launch collectors without a specific fragment targeted unless a one-use pickup is intended. Limpets also need a clear path; flying too close to rock can destroy them quickly.

The '''Collector Limpet Controller''' launches limpet drones that retrieve loose cargo canisters, materials, and refined mining fragments and bring them back to the ship's cargo hold.

== Overview ==

Collector limpets are one of four original Limpet Controller types (alongside [[Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller|Fuel Transfer]], [[Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller|Hatch Breaker]], and [[Prospector Limpet Controller|Prospector]]) and are core equipment for mining builds — picking up fragments blasted off asteroids — as well as for salvage, collecting cargo ejected from destroyed or looted ships. A Commander who wants to actually keep the proceeds of mining or salvage generally needs a Collector limpet running; without one, loose cargo simply drifts away unclaimed.
