35 -The collect order is surpassed in most ways by Collect Drops which has the added benefit of being compatible with repeat orders. Collect drops will not collect deactivated deployables and this is something that does need to be done manually with the collect order.
37 +Collect Drops can be paired with the repeat orders default behaviour to either prevent the order from completing once all drops are collected or to pair it with other behaviours in a loop

41 -A fighter is ordered to collect a drop from a Xenon ship after a battle.
43 +As an example this ship is set up with repeat orders to alternate between attacking enemy ships around a location to collecting drops. If a hostile ship were to enter the sector via the nearby gate they would be destroyed and then any drops would be collected after all the fighting. This particular setup has the particular issue of getting caught out if there are waves of attackers as it could be busy collecting drops. To correct this subordinates should be assigned with bombard, defend or intercept roles (but not attack) to respond to new attackers, or in the case of defend, respond to attacks on the lead ship busy collecting drops.

45 45  Players should be warned that instructing a ship to collect cargo that has been ejected from a station either from the player's or a pirate faction's hacking attempt will cause a temporary reputation loss with the station which can very easily escalate if the station is armed.

49 +The ship will only collect drops in a 40km radius around the target location.
