What if we try to rotate our ship or tractor beam itself on smthng like turretturnable? Snapped object will follow? How much torque in turretturnable? Or snapped object acts like part of our ship?
and does the tractor beam cause and equal an opposite force to what is required to hold that object or is it some kind of zero point energy beam or something?
Tractor beams aren't really meant for towing, you will want to use cargo locks or cargo lock beams if you plan on towing anything. I will make a video for those soon!
I saw a 'cargo ship' in the ship shops with one of these and an array of lock beams, the tractor on an advanced cradle between two seats... lock onto your object, spin 180, lock it down, fly away safely... with some scaling I could see quite some utility to that idea
Very interesting indeed.
Wow this is amazing. I had no idea this was in the game

When an item is connected to the tractor beam is its build cost then included in your ships build cost? i.e. vox limits bolt limits weight etc
Thank you for making a video on this. 😱👍
Keep it up! Great guides
Quick tip you can use CV2 (when hit "C"). To control Is a ship that you're having hard to maneuver due to thrust your issues. Lol
how much energy do tractor beams use? i have yet to find anything about it.

@@N1ghtR1der666 to my knowledge, locking onto a large asteroid will not pull your ship toward the asteroid.
I guess these are too weak to towing a small ship with some speed?

I tried to tow a starter ship yesterday and had yesterday it had no success. Lol. 🙊😂
