Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller
EDFM // Ships & Equipment / Modules
Deploys limpets that force open a targeted ship's cargo hatch — the core tool of ship-to-ship piracy.
The Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller launches limpets that attach to a targeted ship's cargo hatch and force it open, spilling some of that ship's cargo for the attacker to collect.
Overview
Hatch Breaker limpets are one of four original Limpet Controller types (alongside Collector, Fuel Transfer, and Prospector), and are the module that actually makes ship-to-ship piracy possible — without one, a pirate can disable a target's drive but has no way to make it release cargo. A target with a functioning Electronic Countermeasure can strip an attached Hatch Breaker limpet before it finishes forcing the hatch, so piracy builds and their defences are closely linked.
Important
Piracy carries legal and reputation consequences within the game's factions and Powerplay systems. This article describes what the module does, not whether using it is advisable in a given situation.
