Mobile Siphon Unit


Overview

Mobile Siphon Units, when placed around a player owned starbase with a moon harvesting laser or a reactor, will siphon off a portion of the moon minerals or reaction results that go towards the station's silos. They are designed to be secretly deployed near to a POS and will not alert the owner to the theft of materials nor will the stations guns automatically shoot at it, meaning that people who own POSs need to keep a watchful eye out for any of these things floating around. Like the Mobile Cynosural Inhibitor this is a one use item. One twist is that any pilot may access the hold so even the thieves aren't immune to theft. It only takes up 35 m³, takes 5 seconds to deploy and will last 30 days with a cargo hold of 900 m³ but needs to be between 30 and 50 km of the target, so CovOps ships can truly take advantage of these automated thieves.
