So I got the Y-8 ship couple nites ago and have been tinkering with it ever since, and this is what I have noticed...
- Tractor Beams graphics/usage is bugged.
- Manuevering around is too sluggish to catch any small chunks efficiently.
- Turret positioning has too many blind spots to be able to effectively sit and mine.
I got my weapon slots setup like this...
Top - cannon
Bottom - cannon
Pilot - Mining Laser
Front1 - Mining Laser
Front2 - Tractor Beam
I could watch my ship graphics on my management window and it was real buggy to get my tractor beam to properly install. I noticed that if it did not show on ground in that window... it would be gone and bugged in space. The TB worked fine once it installed properly on the ship. In space thou... /pfft... that beam is a pos... you couldnt tractor nothing in unless you were to drive strait into it.
My suggestions for IMPROVEMENT
- Increase the range and strength on the tractor beams so they can pull things in from 800m or so
- Increase the range and strength on the mining lasers to match the tractor beams
- Fix the bug when installing new beams/lasers on ships so they install properly and work
- Take away the pilot has to be in the seat for the mining lasers to work.
