Collectors, wing contracts, named pilots

v0.1.742 Jun 10, 2026

Loot needs collectors, and wings get party-only contracts.

  • Added Collectors, a utility item class for gathering loot; without one you must fly nearly on top of a container to scoop it.
  • Added Magnetic Collector I/II and the Vortex Collector to station shops, each widening your collection ring and pulling containers toward your ship.
  • Changed Collectors to also extend the ore pickup ring.
  • Added wing contracts to station mission boards: convoy strikes accepted only with a party of 2+ (or 3+ for heavy convoys).
  • Changed wing contracts to pay every signed party member in full.
  • Changed convoy spawns to one per party, not one per member.
  • Changed persistent pilots to carry full names like Trader Joss Wellington II or Gunhand Cora Thorne. When one dies, the name is gone for good.
