- Status changed from New to Accepted
- Assignee set to Administrators
- Priority changed from Normal to Low
Give me an example of how I can reproduce, using the UI, what you're wanting. Include what I need to buy/fit, etc. and then the exact procedure for making it happen.
Item: Mobile Tractor Unit - Can easily be purchased on the market.
With the MTU in your cargo bay and your ship in space, right click it and select Launch for Self. This will jettison it into space and start the activation time. When it is finished it's activation sequence, it will start tractoring in wrecks and jetcans that you are able to loot. You can open it's cargo and anything it loots you can move to your ship cargo. To get the MTU back, you need to right click it and select Scoop to Cargo Hold.
There are a few restrictions on where it can be deployed:
125km effective range
10 second activation time
Cannot be deployed within 5km of another MTU
Cannot be deployed within 50km of Stargates or Stations
Cannot be deployed within 40km of a Starbase
Decays after 2 days of being abandoned.
| The :SetName entity method does not appear to work for renaming the Mobile Tractor Unit. Here's a snippet of how I am trying to do it: http://pastebin.com/ttHF1iNv

ISXEVE: entity:Open Error attempting to open an unsupported container: 1250:'Mobile Tractor Unit
LaunchForSelf and ScoopToCargoHold both work.
