Mncp86 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Guys what do you think about a tractor beam in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyz Ejstu Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 "Another splendid idea. Instead of keeping the cargo inside the crafts, we could tow around a container like in Eve...The problem is: the skills to construct that thing won't come easy. By skills I mean the in game training. Some real science investment would need to go into that." marax27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalloInfligo Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I love the idea of tractoring in another ship to board it, makes you also want to join crews of larger ships to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilks Checkov Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Would in theory ruin a pirate in a fighters' day. Tractor em and blast em full burst of auto cannon glory. GalloInfligo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code24 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Would certainly make boarding ships easier because you wouldn't need to take out their engines or control systems to get in close. Although it would need to be balanced, meaning it would have to have a very high energy requirement, possibly negatively affecting other systems while in use. It would also have to have a fairly limited range, meaning any ship that want to tractor in another vessel would need to take out their weapons first.

Anasasi Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I believe there should be several types of tractor beams, or, sizes anyway.Thus allowing you to choose what your tractor beam can do, even if it allows multiple types of tractor on a single unit, it could make things interesting. As said above, it could be used for either ships, cargo, debris, etc.But what about doing the opposite, what if someones trying to board your ship? Why not have them be reversible repulsor beams as well, allowing docking ports or ships to push their enemies away from contact.
