Lats suggest some simple nongame breaking things for the games newest hi slot module.
The two I can think of off hte top of my head are:
1: Tractor damaged or nonresponsive drones back into scoop range
and
2: Since it uses gravity, allow it to to target ships and add a reasonable mass penalty say around 50% of the ships current mass.
*snip* That's not very appropriate. - Teblin |

Now that is a very good idea. -----------------------------------

well, kind of, except it would act as a highslot web for bs's to use on frigs, and that would really suck... I think it has potential for attracting ships but I get the feeling it could be abused.

It would be worse than a web, it would add mass, so a tractor and a web would be an instant "I Win" button for BSes vs Frigates of any type. 2 would break the game pretty hard. I like number 1 though :)

Yeah but it would only work against MWDing targets, AND if you turned towards the ship even with the mass penalty you rightly should get a speed boost (he IS pulling you towards him)... something like 20k topspeed... so if you do that he gets like .8 seconds to pwn you before you are on top of him.

Well, it's no more an I win button than a large nos or neut in that way.
But I had in mind that putting a tractor beam on a ship on a jump in would result in his turning speed being reduced, giving your camp a little more time to get points on him. IE, nerf to WCS and Nano whoring battleships. -----------------------------------

Just balance it out.. if you're using 2. on a frigate then you also get that frigates missiles hitting you harder (IF that frigate is firing at you.)

Hmm.. I guess usinga tractor beam should also increase your sig radius. -----------------------------------

Gierling, your second implementation sounds incredably hard to implement :p
I still dont like it, the mass increase is far worse than just a web because it makes it harder to align. At least with nos you can still warp out (they dont lock you down that bad.)

How about making it a total usable attack mod.
Give it tracking, and make it an aggressive mod, so using it vs. other will call concord. Same vs. other cans. Tracking means the beam lock can be broken.
Change it so the it drags the smaller mass to the bigger mass. So a BS can drag a Frig toward it. And a Frig can use it to to drag itself toward the BS, either to get inside tracking range, or to attempt a "slingshot", adding the tractor's pull speed to the ships speed.

again, sounds incredably hard to implement tbh. Would be cool, but overcomplicated.

How about making the new ships that can hold fighters use the tractor beam to pull in the fighters to make them dock faster, for repairs or so. And only able to target their own fighters or any fighters belonging to their corp.

It'd be nice if the Frigate could target using a swivel mounted beam that would help 'slingshot' it for increased agility.
What happens when the BS activates his module to though? More gravity is more gravity so they can't really cancel each other...
Unless the swivel mount on frigate is focused on the front of itself and the BS targets the back or center or something...but that would tear the ship apart!
Drone idea FTW though.
