We all know the pain of maneuvering a big ass hauler in the belts. Well, I have an idea to help solve this.
What about adding a Hauler Drone that you can fit to your hauler? These drones could then be commanded to go fetch ore from cans in the belt and return that to the hauler. In case of a drone being ordered to fetch something from a secure can, you would be prompted for the password of that can.
This would of course require some sort of Hauler Drone skill in which each level would let each drone either haul more per run, haul it faster or both. It should of course be linked with the player's drone level, drone interfacing and perhaps heavy drones skills.
It would of course require haulers to have a drone bay -- perhaps a new type of "automated" haulers?
What you think? I love the idea of just sitting there watching your drones do all the work instead of getting frustrated that your ship starts doing a lil' breakdance when it encounters a roid the size of a pebble 
Now that we are at it, could mining drones perhaps get an option to drop the ore in a can instead of the cargo hold of the ship?

Actually, since Indies can't have Drones it'll be better to have a High slotted Tractor beam IMO.
At least make it so it doesn't require a turret hardpoint though.
Would also make Ore Thieves job easier btw...
