X3TC: Tractor Beam

Post by eltano » Wed, 23. Sep 09, 18:11

Hi, I´m trying to use a TB to move a roid.

According to the manual, I need to be very closer with my ship (TL or M6) and after fire the beam will change color to green and.... success!!!

BUT :evil: :evil:

I reached the roid.
I flew very very closer and fired my rears TBs.... and nothing. The beam is red (or something similar), didn´t changed color and the "#"!$#"$ rock did not moved an inch (I kept my speed always under 10 m/s)!!

I´m flaying a springblossom (4 x TB)

Any Help please!!!!!!

Thanks

You can't move plain asteroids. You have to place a mine on them first. Tractor beams can only be used to tow your stations, your ships, and pilotless ships.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

If it can fire the beam, it can tow. So, yes.

After cutting the beam, the station eventually will stop? or I need to go to the opposite side and pull it again ??

Thanks

Just shoot the beam at empty space to turn it off.

One single Tractor Beam will always do, on a mine placed on the asteroid as others already said.

Thanks you all for your answers.

I´m about to join my first two factories... wish me luck... and I´m open for any suggestions you may have about the creation of a complex, factory positioning, etc
