Rescue Ship Build Philosophy
A large amount of cargo space is the logical choice if you want to collect as many pods as possible in a single run, but some consideration must be made on how many limpets should be deployed simultaneously. A Scythe competing for the extracted pods will be very common in this journey so having a lot of limpets out is the right way to ensure most pods will be collected. The most beneficial module for that is the 7A Universal Multi-Limpet Controller which can control up to 8 limpets, since only one can be fitted we have to add extra Collector Limpet Controllers with lower limpet counts. A good baseline amount of limpets is 13, more is better.
Ships that can fit class 7 modules are:
- Type-9 Heavy
- Imperial Cutter
- Type-10 Defender
- Federal Corvette
- Anaconda
- Imperial Clipper
- Type-8 Freighter
To be able to survive and have peace to do the job a good shield is recommended, Bi-Weave is optimal for its fast recharge which reduces the time your ship will be over 20% heat. Temperature is what determines your visibility and a low heat signature will help a lot. Besides that, it is necessary to get inside the Maelstrom so a TG Pulse Neutralizer and set of Caustic Sinks are a must- alongside a Pulse Wave Xeno Scanner and a Sub Surface Extraction Missile for locating and rescuing humans.
