Would love to see an upgrade/module ect... to get the materia collected in the outside to be inserted into the chutes on the side of the ship so they can make it to the cargo room.
It would not have to be early game, but can see how hectic it could get in later missions. (specially considering how easy the ship has stuff go wrong / fires)

buddybot already does this in certain circumstances (I believe any time you're piloting, and he isn't shooting is the most efficient)
definitely agree there should be upgrades and 4player modules to handle that process
(maybe a slot that forces you to pick between automatic refills or more materia per pickup?)

Yea did a run with 3 of us earlier and Materia felt a bit off to manage, but it would be nice to see something that can handle just the import from the outside of the ship to the inside with multi players, BUT im also curious on how many players the devs are balancing stuff around, because with 3 of us, I never saw buddy bot do anything.

in full/3team runs, it feels like "hull-rat" is an essential role for teams who do close ship combat
materia collection, constant reshields, boarding nearby ships, etc.
I don't mind, it's my fav way to play, but it might be frustrating for teams who aren't expecting to devote someone to the grunt work/logistical manager role
