![]() ![]() Firing at a ship which uses tractor beam disperses any beam it's usingġ7. Obvious: People hauling ships can be pirated and hauled ships stolen (just think of the possibilities)ġ6. You can haul & stash ships somewhere instead.ġ5. Also, You don't need to go to Itani/Serco/UIT space to buy certain ships anymore. The seller & buyer need to have tractor beams to make a transaction.ġ4. This makes possible ship trading & storing in a station just like any other cargo. Hauled/unmanned ship can too have cargo of its own (just think of the trade & piracy possibilities !)ġ3. Extra non-weapon slot could be added to every ship to make some more room for new addons.ġ2. When hauling anything, 50% of power cell energy is required for normal jump, not standard 25% (This can be explained with reason that you need to create bigger / more stable jump wormhole or some other technobabble).ġ1. Encountering Ion storm detaches any active tractor beam, you need to re-attach thing You were hauling, and jump out of stormġ0. Obvious: The tractor beam can be attached and detached at willĩ. When hauling a ship with tractor beam, the hauled ship's mass is added to Your own mass, so You become slower and harder to maneuver.Ĩ. ![]() Also, some good ships could have specially polarized hull without any addons, so they would be completely uncatchable (when manned).ħ. To balance the game out, and not make it too easy for pirates, there would be also anti-tractor beam devices, which would disallow catching of a ship if it's manned (its not being hauled):Ħ. = This creates great opportunity for pirates: unmanned ship thievery.ĥ. = If you want to haul more than one ship at once, You have to leave station with one, detach it and leave it floating, go back to station, leave with second one (and so) and reattach them all with all Your beams You can launch from station with ONE other ship attached to beam = Perhaps number of possible beams you can use at once could be limited to 2 big or 3 small (grid power limitation or something), so You can either haul 2 big ships or 3 smaller shipsĤ. You can haul as many ships as many tractor beam devices You have Only works for metallic hulls (ships), so no roid/cargo pulling (alloh's idea)ģ. = When catching an object with different speed than Yours, the object speed & speed direction vector is slowly (let's say 10-20% of difference/second) matched to Your own speed.Ģ. So, this would not make it too easy for pirates. Catching a vessel should be impossible when speed difference between the catching and vessel being catched is too big. Conception update, based on discussion with Alloh:ġ. ![]()
