[TC] Serious tractor beam shortage

[synctrance]

According to eng.x3tc.ru there are only 2 fabs producing tractorbeams in 'Third redemption'. Are there any equipment docks that sell them?
I've been babysitting those fabs for about 1/2 a day and they simply dont produce, even though they are full of resources.

Player TB Fabs have a cycle time of over 19 hours, NPC are probably similar.

Ouch, so no equipment dock stock them? I believe in X3R there were some that did.

Can't remember.You may be right.

I build my own in Savage Spur.Tucked up in the NW corner,out the way of traffic.A few Dolphins to collect resources.

You can sell sell them , I think,but I am just kitting out some of my fleet.
Used my own for the Aldrin Expansion .

In theory, you only ever need one. Once those factories cycle snag one and you're done. You can still sell them to any EQ dock BTW. It can be a good way to earn some fast profit by cleaning both fabs out when they're full.

I bought 3 from the paranids before relations with them went downhill and I only ever use one...sooo...not a huge deal there. Just keep them separate in-case you lose the ship it is on...unless you are a chronic reloader, then nothing that happens matters.
