Can CCP add a skill to the game that increases the range of regular tractor beams. or even make the item reach further - even double the range - it would make my mood alot lighter
Thanks :)

tell ya what, why dont they first fix the thing where turning on a tractor beam throws the thing to the edge of the grid and then teleports it back before tractoring it.
but then yes, i think a skill that gives a 12.5% bonus to range per level would be nice (lvl 4 will get you 30km range on a normal beam, a little more then 32km on lvl 5).

I would be happy with a 10% bonus per lvl, but if they went all out and made a 20% bonus per lvl that would be awesome.
You know hella people would train it. Surely the mark of a good skill.

just to quote this post:

there are actually 4 skills for faster tractor beams:
1. marauder -> ships: golem/kronos/paladin/vargur
2. industrial command ship -> ships: orca
3. capital industrial ship -> ships: rorqual
4. Strategic Cruiser of your choice with "Emergent Locus Analyzer" Electronics subsystem -> ships: legion/loki/proteus/tengu
hope this helps.

I tend to disagree. Sure, those skills do have an effect on the tractor beam, but only on said ships. It also takes a long time and a lot of isk to obtain one of those ships. It makes the skill inaccessible to newbies. One of the many things newbies do in their early days is salvaging/looting their corp mates missions. Giving them the ability to improve their tractor beams would offer them the ability to improve.
Another thing is, with some of these ideas this skill could totally rock everyone's world!

they are not that expensive (except for the rorqual) and not every skill should be accessible by newbies. last but not least ... the idea of tractoring drones and wrecks. they are still owned by the person who lost them, one way or the other. so unless ccp knocks down the idea of "cans can only be tractored by the owner" it wouldnt work. sorry.

i dissagre. you are talking about bonus¦s ships give. im talking about just regular npc ratting, you stick a tracktor beam on raven - and salvager. raven dosent give bonus to tracktor beams. and you cant tracktor wrecks owned killed by others.

Are you saying that marauders, orca's and T3 ships are cheep or accessible to newbs?
While I like the idea of being able to tractor any unpiloted entity floating in space, I don't see how without it the skill would be usless. As anyone who loots and salvages missions would probably love to train a skill that doubled or gave a 50% bonus to tractor reach and speed.
