So, right now we have small tractor beams, and capital tractor beams. What I would like is something in between. This really isnt an important issue, but it would make gathering up wrecks after missions a bit easier. So, I was thinking something like this:
small tractor beam: 20 km range, 500m/s tow rate medium tractor beam: 40 km range, 1000m/s tow rate large tractor beam: 80 km range, 1500m/s tow rate capital tractor beam: 200 km range, 3000m/s tow rate
As you can see, the small and capital tractors stay the same, you just get some options in between.

Why? I have a full rack on a Thrasher with 4 tractors and 4 salvagers. I wouldn't want to fit a BS or BC with these things as slow as the ships are including your idea of the tractor-ing speed of a medium or large.
Ship speed + tractor speed = happy salvager

I agree Tractors need some luvin!
I would be happy with a T2 small tractor beam
40km, 1000m/s sounds fair

T2 small would be more like 25km, 600 m/s.

I would love to be able to fit a med or large tractor on my ratting ships, even the big ones, as it's longer range would more than make up for the slower ship. Sure, the destroyer still seems to be the best dedicated salvager, but the larger beams would still be very useful on the bigger craft.

I agree that at least one imbetween tractor beam would be nice. However, I don't know if two are quite needed. How about a Small Tractor Beam II? Uses slightly more cap space, but can pull from 30km away.

I like this idea.
As a mission runner, I'm flying around in a 144 m/s Dominix. With Battleships orbiting at 50km sometimes, it's very hard to get the loot and salvaging with this ship.
Why can't we have larger beams for our ships? Level 3 missions are often outside of 20km, and level 4 even further, so it would make the "tank in one spot" idea more fruitful for drone carriers like myself.
In summary, signed.

they are in the db already but didn't seed to the market yet. Medium tractor with 40km and large tractor with 80km. All with 500m/s.

They've been sitting in the database for a long, long time. Not everything there will see TQ, you can actually see several dead-end paths the devs considered and scrapped if you find one of the sites that shows examples of wierd stuff that's still in the DB. -------------------------------------------------- ICE Blueprint Sales FIRST!! -Yipsilanti Pfft.

I found these in quickfit awhile ago and was wondering what the deal was. I also saw a 425mm railgun III. -...

Well, the eve-DB isn't secret. Since you an download it and import the stuff into your own mysql-DB you can search the entire DB for stuff like this. And yes - there are dozend of things which will never get into eve. However, medium and large tractor beams aren't so special and since we have a capital one I think it's only a question of time till we can use these items.

the speed for large and mediums i believe was originally going to be slower. they have been around for more than 9 months in the database!! so just wait, its coming.

When they originally fielded the idea of tractor beams they were going to bring out all 3 at the same time, then only the Small was seeded and we've been waiting almost 2 years for the 40 and 80km flavours, they are already there ready to go no coding necessary they just need to seed the damn things.
So CCP I ask you WHEN are you going to seed the others ? -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
When we gonna see the 40km and 80km tractor beams ? |
