Tractor beams, like many bugged guns, do not render in a turret... so they can't be aimed.

also currently, tractor effects render out of other filled hardpoints if loaded into a turret. They've been fixed on fighters (well my x-wing) so that they fire out of the correct hardpoint. But in a Y-8, they fire out of the same hardpoint as any loaded gun.

This allows something of a workaround for the Y8, if we load 1 laser and 1 tractor (and further monkey around with it) but this completely negates the usefulness of the extra turrets we waited so long for.

If tractors could be aimed and such, I think a Y8 could truely sit stationary off an asteroid and mine effectively with a crew.

Is this on the devs list? on their radar?

Let us know.

Thanks.
