[Mod Request] A dedicated loot collector

[user1679]

Looking for a mod that allows us to assign "collect loot" as a default job for a sector. I saw a couple loot related mods on nexus but one is for cap ships, the other
just sends a ship to your ships to collect their loot.

I know I can use the "repeat orders" job and then assign "collect drops" but the radius is not adjustable and I was hoping to just have my ship
patrol the whole sector looking for drops.

This is a very simple answer:

The script still runs wonderfully. The only problem: the collectors are not squeamish about collecting the loot right under the nose of a xenon destroyer ... you have to have a look here from time to time.

Otherwise, the script is widely adjustable, including docking at a safe station in the waiting breaks etc ...

A fast ship set to flee when attacked is recommended.

Every now and then (I do this from 1000 items in the inventory) I send the ship manually to the HQ to store its inventory.

In sectors with a lot of xenon attacks, this is a money-making machine - not to mention that you always have enough components to modify half your fleet

Thank you, I'll give it a try. I was searching for "loot" and "cargo" instead of "inventory" in the Nexus search box.

If you put the Inventory Collector in as well then have one or two ships flying around picking up the loot from said ships that collect them. I have ships collecting in 8 to 10 sectors at all times. And most of them are where the fights happen but also in the major mining sectors as well so I can get emp and bomb parts.

This is an interesting idea. I have both mods and it seems like this would be better than waiting for cargo drones.
