It's true.
If you run missions, get this.
Train Science IV.
Find true happiness.
There will be multiple responses below this saying the same thing, I promise.

You speak the truth, my brother -- the bigger your ship, the more valuable a tractor beam is. When I got my Brutix I was appalled how tough looting was -- then got my tractor beam and all was well. When I moved up to a Domi I was even more amazed.

Tractor beams make me happy. Saves a lot of time with looting, esp when there is around 30 cans. Tractor beams ftw

With my ex-wife, yes. In fact, 1x Tractor Beam + 3 x burning sticks in the eye + 2x balls pounded flat with a wooden mallet still > sex with that harpy.
My current wife, OTOH...

You can have sex with a Harpy? I must be missing an attachment or something. The last time I tried that, the railgun nearly blew my... Well. Let's just say I'm glad I had an extended warranty on my clone, kay?

Just need the bigger, longer range tractors, cause some opponents like to stay outside of 20 KM range.

Or get a garbage hauler cruiser with a significantly larger cargo bay, like the Exequror (760m3 with cruiser 3) and use 4x tractors plus nanos down low (or expanders if you must but i don't ever need them).

Perhaps the best can grabber is a destroyer (caldari is what I use) mounted with 5 tractors or more in the highs, a few guns, tech 2 AB in one of the mids and either some nanofiber or cargo expander in the low slot. base cargo is 450 so I go with a nano 90% of the time.

I use an iteron V, with 5 nanos, an ab for those far away cans and two tractor beams, it does the trick for me. __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should! |

Even better-- use a Amarr Sigil with 3 nano's. I run sensor boosting and tech II AB in the mids, then 2 tractors in the highs... I love how fast those nanos let the Sigil turn and align--a true joy for looting.

For smaller amounts of loot (<840m3) I used a 3 Tractor Exequror with 2 Nanos and a Cap relay in lows and equipped with a 10mn MWD. It goes around 1500+m/s and can run the MWD and all three tractors 24/7.
For a mission with more than 840m3 I use a Sigil with two tractors, a 10MN T2 AB and 5 Nanos in the lows. This Sigil goes about 850m/s which is fast enough if there is that much loot.
Just make sure you bookmark each area where there is loot and after completing the mission go get your loot ship and warp back to your bookmarks.

Sometimes when I get really bored I activate my tractorbeam on a can, approach the can and play tag with it for a while!

I pine for the medium tractor beam, or at least a skill to extend their range. Tractor beams are great, but a 40km+ range would be uh... greater?
Originally by: hired goon I agree with every point and counter point that has been brought up in this and every other argument ever had.

My looting ship is an exequror with 1400m3 cargo space (gallente cruiser 4 and all low slots with expanders). 400m/s with the AB on and 1000m/s with the MWD on. that coupled with 4 beams makes it one of the best looting ships for level 4 missions, where loot often exceeds 1300m3 of cargo space

I was quoted the exact same layout from a guy I met while sodding about empire to replenish my RA depleated wallet.
He and I done a couple of lvl 4 missions together for fun and he collected over 2.2k m3 of loot in less than 5 minutes in approx 100k area.
It was like watching a strange and hungry spider. Totally loot-tastic.
edit : Now I need a tractor beam that pulls the right letters into my words first time round

Don't understand that "targeting" comment? Does this affect the tractors?

He is saying he can lock on to lots of cans and tractor them all in at the same time cause he can fit 6 tractor beams on it
