I am doing the third mission from capt. Koh, disabled freighter Corellia system.
Installed tractor beam into my m22,
1. how can you fire it easily, loaded it into weapon 2 slot, laser is in 1, but if i press 2 at target it fires a gun. So I got a / command from net to fire it... and this works although there must be a simpler way?????
2. aimed at target and nothing seems to be unloading to my hold?
3. how close should i be etc
Is there anyone out there who mcan help with my problems, expect I am being a bit slow and if so, I apologise but I am really stumped??????

There are two ways to operate the tractor beam. Either you assign it to a different weapon group via CTRL+G and link a key to that weapon group in the keymap (options menu) or you assign a key to the "toggle tractor beam" command in the keymap menu and just switch the tractor beam on when you need it.

On the Krayt, weapon two is the turrent. You can not fire the turret from the pilot position. Put the thing in another slot. Then use the G option to assign it to a weapons group of it's own. That should work for you.

Sorry, but thats wrong. I dont know if its intended but you can fire all four weapons of the Krayt from the pilot position (even when you got a co-pilot). Just put them all in one group. Tractor beam works well too. In fact im putting the tractor beam in the turret in my Krayt.
