Vidar auto pick up cargo, autopick up drones

[fobboy]

I have 2 questions:

1) why can't my vidar auto pick up cargo even with a special command software like other ships?

2) is there a command to autopick up drones that have been deployed?

I think you should post this question in the general forum!

Indeed. Moved.

1. The special command to pick up stuff only works on smaller ships and frieghters.
2. No idea, dont use drones.

As above:

1) Larger ships use the special command software for collecting rocks, useful for larger ships you want to use as miners. Or you could have a freight drone collect things and then fly over that.

2) Drones will dock in ships that have hanger bay access as I understand. Someone reported at least that their TL used them and they rejoined the ship. For others I'm afraid its a case of getting them to stop in space and flying over to collect them.

(There are script developments that beam items (Astronauts, Cargo, Drones) into your ship with use of a transporter device e.g. ABeam, CBeam, DBeam by Apricotslice. Cant remember off the top of my head if there are other requirements).
