Thank you for the Mobile Tractor Unit, CCP! The auto-looting feature is pretty gosh-darned awesome for big salvaging jobs.
Not one to settle for the lovely shiny things we have, I'd like to see one "little" change: when fracturing wrecks, could the mobile tractor please pick the furthest wreck first? And if it's not too much extra work, please ignore wrecks that are being tractored by something else. It seems that the Mobile Tractor Unit gets fixated on tractoring this wreck and if I happen to be tractoring this wreck the MTU will do nothing until I'm done. Then it will tractor that wreck 200m.

Would be nice also to have a reinforce timer if attacked instead of having to watch them non stop, can't even take a proper bio break.

Yeah, even a few minutes of reinforcement timer would be lovely. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

I agree, that'd make sense. |

But it's so much fun watching a wreck get ping ponged between 2 tractor units that are anchored 5km from each other. Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012. |

I found this problem this morning... irritated me a bit as i was tractoring using my noctis and had 2 of these units running. The one furthest away would tractor the wrecks towards it, taking them out of my salvage range.
Pulling in furthest wreck would be SO much better.
Also, jettisonning the module is not possible. I wanted to give it to my other fleet member in space but this is not possible. CCP please sort this. |

I'd like to pile on some gripes with them as well (please, don't take it harshly, I love the MTU how it is, but some simple tweaks could make it much less 'odd').
Target selection priority: Currently: - all tractorable objects, sorted from closest to farthest.
I propose: - Non-tractored wrecks WITH loot, from furthest to nearest - Non-tractored wrecks WITHOUT loot, from furthest to nearest - Non-tractored Cargo Containers that are at least 30 seconds old
Currently, if you anchor two MTU's somewhat near each other, (I was doing it in an effort to keep up with my salvage drones), MTU-1 will grab the nearest wreck, pull it in, and empty it. Then, unlock it's tractor, and MTU-2 will see it and grab it and pull it over, then unlock, them MTU-1 will grab it again. The above won't completely fix this, but it will at least limit it by pulling furthest non-tractored wrecks first.
The other issue with the MTU, is that if you drop a jet can, the MTU will immediately scoop it up, making it impossible to jettison anything with this thing anchored on grid. Hopefully, the 30 second age limit i list above will at least provide some window for a buddy to grab what you jet.
I suppose the best option would be to have a 'Configure' option on the MTU, and allow it to have these options configurable.. a lot more coding involved though. |

Jettison ammo or bm, then move MTU to can? |

The obvious improvement that would help our WH raids would be to allow the thing to be launched for fleet or corp. At the moment, if our loot guy gets blown up, we're all going to go home poor!

The MTU cannot be placed inside another container, because it itself is classified as a container. |

I like the priority to further target idea. I do not like the suggestion of a reinforce timer. |

Jettison for corp and jettesion to can. This plus tractoring from farthest away. |

I have found that a Nereus with an MTU, 3 salvage drones, and 2 Drone Link Augemtors makes for an amazing AFK salvager. |

Reinforce timer on MTU only if they become unlootable unscoopable and proceed to be that way for another 2 minutes after RF timer already ends.
You are just looking for an easy way to have a foolproof system against ninjas. Guess what, you are already better off than you were before and 30k ehp module takes a while to kick the bucket.
You want to be able to loot when afk?
Then you will have to accept the risk.
