What if only one collector per ship could be locked at a time? You'd need something for the slivven bitch to do, but it would let you use two score collectors to stash power without letting you bring three dozen afkers along. Then you could bump up siphon exp to the same as other modules.

The bigger ships like to double siphon, and some might even dare to triple siphon. So, having two collectors at a time is rather useful.
