One thing I would like to see is Tractor drones, and I dont mean Tractor BEAM drones, but Tractor Drones, designed to attach to a jetcan and haul said can back to the mothership, they can't haul wrecks or anything else, just jetcans, this would be a great complement to the Salvage drones.

Edit: just had an idea that this could actually be made into a function FOR the salvage drones, so they get another "activation" command aside from salvage called "Gather" or "tractor" or something like that, and then they will collect the jetcans they left behind when they salvaged all the wrecks.

Not sure if having both functions on one drone would make it too powerful but either way I would love to see this added.

Just to clarify as someone contacted me ingame about this:

I do NOT expect the drones to gather up loot and then go deposit it in my inventory, I wish for drones that drag the "container" to my ship so that I may manually loot it.
