tractor beam---> paranid space (core sectors)

Repair laser---> cheating or using scripts is the only way.

Trac Fac's only exist in Third Redemption with two exceptions.
1. Player owned
2. Build missions (have 4 other Trac Fac's located in my universe and most are in/border Pirate space).

Repair lasers (other than the one on your spacesuit) don't exist in a vanilla game. However they can be added by modding your game, see TC S&M Forum if you really want them.

Don't believe everything that's in the manual, there's plenty in there that doesn't exist or the player can't have.

It's nothing to do with the manual--the in-game ship slots show some ships as being able to equip Repair Lasers. This is because Repair Laser, Tractor Beam and Mobile Drilling System all fit into the same slot and so if a ship can mount one, it can mount the others--yes, technically that means you could fit a Tractor Beam on your spacesuit if you could somehow get it on there, although you wouldn't be able to fire it because the suit doesn't have enough energy to power the weapon.
