These to items are great!! However, there are few things things I would like to see added to them.

On the Mobile Deport, I would like to store my mobile tractor beam inside it vice anchoring it in space. Unfortunately the program considers it and the depot to be a container vice a mobile structure, which is what they are, and will not permit it to be stored in the depot. I would also like to see the depot to be used for either self or corp. It would give it more functionality.

The tractor beam would be nicer if it could also salvage. I see no reason why this could not be the case since the T/B is accessible to all who encounter them.

I would like to ask the development team if we could we please have these upgraded in the near future? Big smile

Thanks for your time!

Salvaging would be a handy feature, although it might really obsolete the Noctis this time...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I don't see where the Noctis would become obsolete. It can carry multiple tractors and salvagers as well as drones, where as the MTB would only have one of each. making the process take much longer. If I have a big mess to retrieve, I would rather use my Noctis. Plus I carry a MTB on the ship anyways.

Because you wouldn't really need it. Load up three MTUs, run a mission and drop one at each gate. Bookmark and come back with a transport to collect later.
