I actually got a cargo out of an airlock. First time in over 10 years of trying. We all know the usual story. You attack a trader entering a hangar and kill him after he's entered the airlock. His cargo is dropped in the airlock.
When you try to drone the cargo either the hangar's Death Ray destroys it (and your drone) or the doors close.
I finally got a cargo, though. It was pure luck. The trader died right as he entered the air lock, so I had a little time before the doors closed. It seemed that the Death Ray started trying to shoot the cargo as soon as the trader was killed. The cargo was bouncing and didn't get hit.
My drone got into the airlock just as the doors started to close. I figured I'd lost a drone. But I didn't. The drone made it out of the last available crack in the doors and got back okay.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get cargo out of airlocks?
