The Manipulator Beam Emitter is a utility part that can be added to ships and stations. It is used to draw-in and collect dropped resources and boost crew in space within a 200 meter range of the emitter, making it extremely useful for mining and salvaging wrecks, and also speeding up the resource transfers between ships.
