CARGO CONTAINERS

1. Why should salvaging an arty be any different than salvaging cargo? I think that the Displacer/InSight combo should be valid for salvaging jettisoned cargo. That way, if some civ happens to be flying through and finds it, kudos, they have rights to it. They don't necessarily have to be pie rats to salvage stuff floating in space.

1. I think that the Burglar should be extended to allow for retrieval of items from space. That way a pie rat can grab arties, cargo containers and prey on whoever they like. The Burglar is like a Displacer with the safeties off.

1. Maybe to strike terror further into the hearts of others, perhaps every once in a while, a pie rat will get an unexpected container of "human biomass" and the victim will end up towed back into a station similar to what happens if you /quit in space (after a pause for the pie rat to continue looting the corpse). The pie rat gets (more of) a bounty, the victim gets a "death" but does not get an insurance hit (unless they have insured their cargo).

Now, what will we do with "human biomass"? Perhaps this could be sold as part of the "black market", sold as Prosthetics but at 1/2 the cost per unit.
