We should get special tractor beams that you can't use on cans or wrecks but only on ships.   Maybe adding an ability like this to Black Ops ships would make them useful.

lol, what good would that be? towing someone around a belt or something, also the webber does a good enough job of slowing someone down, the warp dis to jam then just blast the hell out of something

He's saying tractor beam that can beam your pod. Maybe tractorbeam that can beam you to station and leave the ship outside. Something like that I guess.

How do you get from tractor beam to transporters?
He just says he wants a tractor beam that can be used on ships, which part is hard to understand? Imo it wouldnt necesarily be bad, at least the entire web thing should be changed imo. Right now if you are outside 10km fighting (not including fleet), it is usually nano crap that goes much too fast. Closer than 10km and you will at least have one web on you, making sure even with mwd you barely move. Add another web and even with mwd you cant move. That is imo a way too large effect. Fighting would be more intresting with speed between not moving and nano speeds.

Thats an interesting idea. Varying sized modules, from smallest to largest giving more force. When used on a targeted ship, the force is applied against the current inertia to determine how much to turn them (in the direction of the beam) effectively pulling them in. Could be cool.

Funny, idea, maybe a tractor beam for capital ships so they pull targets closer. Then pwn them. :)
Amarr is the tank OR gank race.
Not the tank and gank race. |

this is a great idea, would solve the problem of people sitting on the station or gate, and docking/jumping when things go bad,would be alot better then bumping and well, which isnt that effective anyways

It should be balanced for both small and big ships, but it should be something like using heavy ship to tractor small ship, small ships goes to you. If the target ship has greater mass, your ship gets pulled to the target ship. So if you use tractor on a battleship with mwd in your frigate, you will barely influence the speed ot the battleship (and then they can also make webbers less effective).
And it would make the large mass of AF have some use :D

I would like to extend this idea to be allowed on missiles and drones.
'Crap! Gank Torp Raven - quick tractor his torps - good good, now sling them back at him !'
'Crap! Neut Domi! Quick tractor his ogre and ram them into each other!'
