[edit] Overview
A very useful item, the TB allows station repositioning, most helpful when complexing. It can be used by most M6 class and above, and has no combatative worth.
[edit] Encyclopedia Entry
The Tractor Beam is a new invention, designed primarily to move stations without the need for large and clumsy grappling systems. The beam uses a series of projected gravitic fields, which in effect reduce the mass of the object, making it easier to move.
[edit] Commentary
The Tractor Beam is commonly used to assemble mines into complexes. The idea of using it to tow asteroids into enemy capital ships is frequently touted, but this cannot be done (unless the asteroid is a mine) as the tractor beam cannot lock on to an object not owned by the player.
