I am suppose to siphon resources from a damage ship with a tractor beam but i don't know how when i shoot the ship with the tractor beam all i get is incrementing count!
What does that mean and how do i do it?
Incrementing Count! = Resources are being added to your inventory, and you already have some of that resource.
Also, there is an option in your space UI that allows you to turn your tractor beam on/off without firing your weapons. Typically, I remove my tractor beam from my gun cycle list (access with the letter G in space). Next, you will want to use the UI configuration and change the tractor beam on/off to a button on your joystick or keyboard. You should then be good to go. You might have been shooting that vessel with your guns while you thought you were only tractoring it.
