We have small and capital, but why not the other 2? Medium can have 50km range and the large 75km, so the MTUs will remain the best. Not to mention that a small tractor beam on a BS is both barely visible and looks incredibly dumb. |

ranged tractoring is the realm of noctis and marauder. Case of noctis its per level bonus, people train to get it far reaching.
downgrade that roll, and playing devils advocate you get it, what are they getting as a replacement feature? Noctis what I am looking at hard for that one. Role bonus of increased salvage chance...my offer on the the table.
Not much else desirable here really. I found it funny that by the time ccp gave us a proper wreck cleaning ship...they nerfed loot tables to where its need greatly reduced. I recall salvage cata's full cargo expands needing 2 runs in some missions with all the goodies dropped. It was the cap charges. If you collected them up that killed the space on full sweep and clears fast as hell.
Now...I can forget I cleaned out the noctis no cargo mods...and clean 2+ missions lol.
marauder...I'd not be disagreeable to discussion on a change for that as well. I just used to get the mission can. Something better to enhance other areas, I'd be all ears tbh.

Cap charges and scrap metal...before the volume was reduced. Still remember having to look for and dumping both of those each mission. There was even a short-lived glitch later on with the Noctis whereby its tractor beam range also buffed salvage beams, making them hit wrecks out to almost 20K. By the time I noticed it, the bug was patched next day, so I didn't get much of a chance to abuse it, sadly. Good times.
Anyways, improving the range on tractors by adding better ones indeed steps on the tails of the Noctis and even the Marauders. Not everything in Eve needs a small/medium/large/XL variant.

The current Noctis with medium tractor beam would have a ridiculous 200km range, which is what the capital tractor beam can reach. Though it's also true that at this point it's more efficient to warp to the wrecks instead of waiting for them to come to you. And even if you nerf the Noctis to have only 20% bonus per level,with the medium tractor beam it would end at the same range (or better with t2), but has about double the reach at the first level. Marauders can lose the range bonus, they still would be much better. So is the Orca. I still don't see the reason why shouldn't we have these, other than the loot is usually worthless so no one would use them except for miners, but it's not my fault. |
