Scenario:

POS is online
POS shields over 50%

I unanchor a POS gun

Is there a way to retrieve the gun without having to go right up to it and select 'scoop to cargo'?

You can change out gun ammunition from within the POS shield
You can anchor a gun from within the POS shield
Is there a way to retrieve the gun while in the POS shield once it's unanchored?

You can try a tractor beam. Tractor beam works on jetcans, might also work on anchorables.


*I have not tried a tractor beam from within a pos forcefield and it may not work, lots of other stuff doesn't work inside the field.

It doesnt you cant lock while in a forcefield and the tractor wont pull mods

to OP: you gotta scoop sadly

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

Can't lock anything from inside a POS, so it would be hard to tractor something.

Use Industrial with speed mods or a blockade runner. Fly out of shield, scoop a gun, fly in shield, stop ship immediately as you enter shield, put gun into any array, fly out of shield... repeat.

Option 2: Unanchor all guns, anchor them around 1 spot. Unanchor again. Then come with a freighter and scoop them conveniently.

Thing I didn't try: fly to an unanchored gun, put it inside your industrial, jettison it. Repeat. Come with a tractor beam fitted orca outside shield, tractor all cans to your orca/freighter. Not sure if tractor beam works with jetcans filled with POS modules or guns.
