LOL!! I just swiped a bunch of stuff from a Gal/Com LRT-15! See, I was jumping to Wraith, when a cruiser decided to attack it and failed miserably, just like the other billions that try to attack stations. Well, it dropped a cargo pod. I got intruders from a cloaked Stormcarrier that the station later destroyed, and they decided to hang in SC4. I stopped my ship near the cargo pod and let the marines take care of them. Well in the meantime, the Gal/Com LRT-15 picked up the cargo pod and just parked there. I launched my shuttle to collect it, not realizing that it had alrealy picked it up. Well, under the collect menu, there was the LRT!!! I told my shuttle to collect it, and it rammed into it and said, "SC1 Cargo Container Loaded" as if it collected a container!! And there were 8 things loaded into the shuttle after that! I know they weren't there before because I put my mouse on the shuttle 1 button and watched the number change from 0 to 8!! And even better, the cargo pod that I was going to collect had only 1 useless thing in it, and this had 8 useless things in it! LOL, how wierd is that???? I'm definatly going to try something like that again!!!!!!!!

Yes, you can "steal" from transports with your shuttle. You can order your shuttles to collect cargo if there's transports or pods with goods in the area.

Sounds like a round-about way of putting "intruders" aboard another ship to steal cargo. You learn something new all the time.

Ok, this is WAY cool! When I send shuttles out, with orders to collect, I sometimes get a transport on the list of things to be collected. I always ignored them and went for the cargo pods. Not anymore. A pirate's life for me...

Cool stuff!!!

Does this also work if you order your shuttle to do a Cargosweep? Or do you have to directly order it to "collect" a transport?
