The MTU may not be deployed within 5 km of another MTU, within 50 km of [[stargate]]s or stations, or within 40 km of a [[POS and YOU|player owned starbase]]. It has 50,000 hitpoints. However unlike the Mobile Depot it does not enter reinforced mode and can be immediately destroyed. Like the Mobile Depot, the only consequence for shooting another player's MTU is a Suspect flag; CONCORD will not intervene.

The MTU targets the closest item first, tractors it in, and loots it. Due to the "closest first" behaviour, you can't use more than one MTU per site, as they will interfere with each other and pull nothing in at all.

The MTU targets the closest item first, tractors it in, and loots it. Due to the "closest first" behaviour, you can't use more than one MTU per site, as they will interfere with each other and pull nothing in at all - unless you place them so far apart (250 km for the basic unit) that they don't interfere with each other

The MTU has become extremely popular despite its cost, particularly for looting [[Missions#Encounter Missions|mission rats]]. Though not as fast at tractoring and looting as a [[Noctis]], the MTU continues to loot a field even when you're not there, and deposits wrecks in an [[Guide To Salvaging|easy-to-salvage]] group around itself. This can allow your mission ship to salvage while running the mission, using either a utility high slot, or salvage drones.
