Can you list the stats on the quest one, then one of us can list the stats on a crafted one, then we'll be in business

Stats on the tractor beam I have


armor 429.4/435.4
hit 870.7/870.7
drain 1904.4
mass 1976.1
vs shield .010
vs armor .010
energy shot 22.9
refire .350

So look's like you can get a lower energy drain, better armor, and hitpoints.

I didn't make this one, so I'd have to experiment to see if I can hit better numbers.

strange, I don't understand what the use of vs shield/armor, energy shot and refire stats are.

I mean, none if them has anything to do with the use of a TB, or am i wrong ?

It gives me the impression that I could sit behind a ship and tractor it to death if I stayed on it for an hour or more heh don't think I'll try it though.

Early beta tractor beams did damage stuff, but were set to zero damage during play testing.


They can still agro on enemy space stations if you get close and tractor beam it.

You need to be REALLY close, preferably less than 10m from the freighter, should work then.
