Cargo scoop
I read a thread that mentioned tractor beams for picking up cargo vs. just ramming cargo. Neither is a very good option. Tractor beans could tractor other stuff and requires no skill. Ramming... well.. the less said about that the better.
How about the Elite approach: you can buy a cheap cargo sccop attachment. If you have one, you fly at the cargo so it goes just under your ship.

Here is an idia for the cargo problem:
the devs can add a pay service (with game cash!!!), worked out form the stations to get a cargo box.
meaning that the cargo is putted in a non-piloted ship, and goes to the closest station.
if there is'nt one there, then it goes away from any player around untill the buyer gets there.
the auto-pilot must have a way to recognize the buyer so they can make the cargo registerd at the moment of buy or pick up from open space (like from bot kill) on the nick name of that man.
but the devs must make the pilot of the cargo with not a 2 high AI system so it would not be imposble to catch it :).
this service can be a daily, or for every shipment payment.
those who can aford it almost sertainly use it, and it makes the problem of cargo losses lower and can be used as a protction from pirates (lol Icaruse).
BUT: this servise cant be to expensive because if it is then players will be losing money isted of earning money.
it can be ajusted to 50% of the cargo's price that the player want's to put in it.
a nother idia is that the non-piloted ship will be purcahsed at a price of a marauder/prom/vulk at the black market.
this ship will stay with u untill it is destroid, and then it will be usefull and in use.
personaly i think the time 2 time pay method is a better service for it, but it must be connected to the player's money amount so he will be wanting 2 use it, so maybe it is to heavy one the server.
this the devs will have to deside, but i think that those options can make the life of pirates (not bounty hunters!) much harder. :P

Interesting idea with the cargo scoop. Would it take up a weapons port? This could really make it more difficult for pirates.
what do you mean?
will the cargo bot take a weapon port or will do you mean it will have a weapon port for it's defence?
