Post Tractor field/net
Similar to tractor except it's a tractor that gathers all items/drops under ur ship for scooping, can't tractor players.

Useful for mining slaves as well.

Also another tractor idea is a "dark" tractor that doesn't make you visible (maybe -n% of vis even) when its in use.

I dont see why not... If this could be a very very expensive credit sink, im all for it. Only debris though, no ships

25 of that tractor and makes it a field for debris with half or 3/4 stats of that tractor but same color visage?

Like 25 constable tractors + creds = Constable Tractor field "reel them varmints in!"

Yes, but 25 constable tractors seems a bit too much to me.

I'd reckon the max I'd chip in for this would be 10 ULs or 12 RRoars.

12 rhino roars seems a bit harsh for a tractor field that only scoops credits and debris...

Why not make push tractors that can push ships around you? Would be very useful in pvp.. And just make the elec cost super extremely high so you can only use it once every time you regenerate.

Hate whole idea. Someone spit out stats also bc I foresee massive programming followed by massive bugs following massive brokenness or ineffectiveness.

Programming might be doable but I'm guessing pain in the butt for one item.

I've envisioned this idea as a web of very weak tractors. But then again, wouldn't it work if you could just exist multiples of some(to prevent abuse) tractors?

Not a tractor .. a gravity sump .. perhaps some kind of silvery 'black' hole thing drawing creds towards your ship. Varying ranges.

This isnt sonic the hedgehog, 1 tractor that only tractors credits and debris all at the same time would be very cool.
