when it gets laggy i get bored and start playin about, so came up with this to help my main on those pesky loot littered lv 4's
Exequeror (+10% bonus to cargo per level)
Hi's 4 x tractor beams
Meds 10 mn ab/mwd dependent on whats needed (mwd may be overkill anyways, flyin past everything in sight
Lows expanders
Using the expanded I jobbies it holds 1280m3, goes quick and more tractor beams than all the whole Star Trek series. I've only got lv3 cruiser so this can only get better cargo wise, and it still pretty quick
things you do for fun

lol - nice.
Alternative:
Crow, or similarly fast and agile frigate 1 tractor beam 1 MN AB II Overdrives
Tow a jet can behind you and put loot into it, at the end of it all, fly back in a badger and collect the jet can.
Would work well for rogue drone missions or those that drop a lot of cap charges when the volume can get a bit silly. |

Add a midslot sensor booster so you can lock the cans faster. |

put the best nano's you can get onto an indy & 10mn afterburner ii
i get 600m/s in a badger ii, a friend gets 900m/s in his sigil (more low slots)
thanks to the can changes when doing the mission i rename the bs/objective cans when the npc blows up ---

Shall we make it extreme:
Catalyst 7x tractor beams, (has 8 high slots, but can only lock 7 targets) MWD, Cap Recharger 3xNanos
Seeing as some L4 missions take almost as long to loot as it takes to kill the rats, this thing would rock! jump in, jettison a can and pull it with one tractor beam, using the other six to pull in loot cans, dumping the contents into the collection bin. when all the loot is in one place, jump back, change into a hauler and Voila! superspeed looting

hey hey,
Mammoth 2x tractor beams, nanos
how about : small/med/large sized beams with various ranges or a skill (Rk 1) that could improve tractor beam range. also drop it to a mid slot. would help indy miners and allow more tractor beams.

ishtar, 1 tractor beam, loot while doing the mission
it's not like I use the cargo space for ammo
and I didn't think about the catalyst! might have to pull the bp out and make a cat, to help loot lvl 4s(collect everything, reprocess, horde and build)

My Raven has 2 tractor beams for pulling in cans while I NPC, but I've also got a Sigil on backup with 2 tractors, a 10mn AB II and 5 nanos in low. Dang, talk about quick loot pickup. Helps to have a sensor booster to lock things even quicker.

Edited by: Hobitsu on 03/01/2006 10:48:30 I use an Comorant with:
High: 6x Tractorbeams Medium: 1x Afterburner + 1x Sensor Booster Low: 1x Expanded Cargo I
I use it for collecting loot up to lvl 3 missions.
Best to use is for me: Target as much cans as possible. Activate all the Tractorbeams to cans that are within 20km. Wait until the cans are within 1.2km and than fly to the next can with the afterburner on, (just watch the distance of the cans that you drag around, if it's getting to 14km, I switch the afterburner off until it's beneath the 1.5km again).
So I can loot while I'm travelling to the next can

I use a Sigil with 5 nanos and an ab. But I must say these ships with 7 tractor have really made me think, congrats of some creative looting.

ok this maybe a bad question but if the tractor beams pulls at 500 and you are flying at 900 then dont you out fly the pull of the tractor beam ?

I was going to say that too.
Out of experience I can tell you all that MWD's and ab's are out of the question. The damn tractor beam just can't keep up.
I preferr picking up the loot during the mission. Why else would they have put an 8th highslot on the mega

High 1x Tractor Beam
Medium 1 x 10mn MWD II (Afterburner if in deadspace) 1 x SB II 1 x Cap Recharger II
Low 3 x Nanofiber Internal Structure.

when using tractors, anything with a speed of over 500m/s is a waste of time, the exequeror works well though ;-)

Sigil with 10MN ABII, 5x Nanofibers in the lows. 3150 m3 @ 800+ m/s at least. no overshooting past cans, and very good agility. and only requires Amarr Indy 1 (Amarr frigate 1 to 3 + Amarr Indy 1 take less time to train than taking any Indy 1 to 3).
If you need more room, Amarr Indy 1 also gets you the Bestower w/ 5000+ m3 and at least 600+ m/s with the same setup but 4x Nanos.

You know, you don't have to run the AB constantly, though it is handy when you've got that one BS can out 115km.
I <3 the 10mn AB II Nano Sigil! It flys and aligns faster than my cruisers!
CCP has even knows it. They've added the word BIGSHOT to the URL of my avatar. |

Actully, experimenting, the Sigil is the best ship for me. 6 Nanos, and an AB means it goies pretty damn fast... -- bumcheekcity |
