Anomaly Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 In addition to the larger ship trapping a smaller one scenario, they would be a great way to facilitate docking a ship in a player made construct. Whether the construct is on the ground, in space or another ship, a pilot with a ship of the right size would approach at the right speed, hit a button and the construct's tractor beam would take over its movement. They could follow scripted paths to guide ships inside and into docking bays. Luukullus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEFROMSPACE Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm certain lots of users want this. It should be realistic in mechanics. A true tractor beam should function much like laser holography, where the trap is a grid zone intersection of two beams, in this case though, ion beams. A large ship could keep emitters further apart, for increased range you see. The beams can keep an object of any kind held at any distance , power dependent ofcourse, perhaps linked into warp core(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
