Hey; it'd be nice if there were a config-option (potentially per-ship) to avoid picking up illegal things.
I finally figured out why my freighters were getting obliterated by police; and it was in fact this mod - they were picking up random items from all over the systems they were flying through, including illegal AGI items from Xenon scouts. )=
Even with the Inventory Collector mod, there'll still be significant window where an expensive, slow, above-board freighter is carrying a single XEN item it scooped up from 400km away - which is super-dangerous to their profit margins, yikes.
I had simply assumed when installing this that it would only apply to combat capital ships; for which I'm potentially an idiot, heh.
Been using this for a long time. :) Thanks! Since I see a recent update, and your changelog talks about an upcoming config option, I have a suggestion. Allow it to also be used on Class-M ships.
I often use a M ship with a bunch of fighters to camp Xenon entry points, and always have to dedicate one S ship as a loot collector just to sit there and collect the loot dropped by the little camping fleet. Would be nice if the fleet could just collect its own loot.
I saw this mod on the Steam workshop and I really like the idea but I would respectfully request a version that pulls in loot from not as far a distance. I use Better Drops and this QoL mod is amazing but I find my L and XL ships grabbing SETA drives in a matter if minutes in a Xenon fight. It would be nice to see an alternative with the range reduced for the collection to be on a order of magnitude greater than a normal S or M class, maybe 5-10x's the range to match that relative size increase.
Other than that thank you for this incredible mod and for sharing it, it is much appreciated!
Update: I opened up the .xml and saw the variable there but changing it did not change the range so I suppose I can unpack the file and simply look for it that way.

Anyway, cheers!

I was gonna suggest that :) It's rather simple change, and thank you for using my mods!
