Tractor Beams for Hauling in Disabled Ships?
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 1:08 am
It was once suggested: an OXP where one could buy a tractor beam in order to haul into space dock a ship that was abandoned by its pilot moments before destruction... however the pounding ceased and the ship remained intact.
It's nice to pick up the occasional cargo container, metal fragment, rock splinter or escape capsule for a few extra credits (with the "Realistic Shipyards" installed, I actually saw floating "Shreddies"! Weird.). But, man! It would be really, really significant if we could haul in some abandoned ship ... just like the Starwolf Mark I drifting right before me.
The only option: blast it to pieces and pick up 2 metal fragments and 1 cargo container of Food.
Any agreement on whether this would be worked on? Is it in production? Did too many forum members vote it down?
