Some of them cargo pods are very elusive.
Even with Auto lock. I home in on the spoils and get within 8.000 clicks . I slow to just above the loot cannisters speed. Im zeroed in , on course and think "Come to daddy"...I zoom in on the thing and at the last minuite the darned things alter course and zip off randomly to anywhere except my scoops. Its easier to catch a robot fighter .....Any one got a tractor beam ?

Re: Some of them cargo pods are very elusive.
Thats a good oxp to have Smivs... Perhaps there is a shady corner where we might be able to do a dodgy deal 
Oh OK perhaps not...especially when I have a multitude of sins already within the game...
Some fella invented a vessel called a Wonder Worm you know... and much to my surprise with a little adjustment one can increase its cargo size...Which is not really a cheat because the cargo hold is in the ships temporal wake.(So it says in the brochure). So I justify that by the size of temporal space... I might not be able to explain the improved steering and increased speed as easily though

Ha, the tractor beam is a little treat you'll pick up if you do the Coyote's Run Mission, but it may not help with your cargo pods.
The WonderWorm is very er, flexible...subspace is as big as it needs to be. As for increasing it's speed...

It's amazing what exotica you can collect from some OXPs, especially as a test pilot... heh!Smivs wrote:Ha, the tractor beam is a little treat you'll pick up if you do the Coyote's Run Mission
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
