Tractor Beam

Is there anywhere but the Paranid I can get this thing from? I really don't wanna be friends with them.

Is there a list somewhere of where to get unique equipment? I am always forgetting where I got stuff, and I just started a new game, so its not in the encyclopedia.

You can very rarely pirate them from traders. Or pretend to be on their side 'till they sell you a forge and then turn on them.

In my game, I was lucky to buy two tractor beams from the factory when I first came through the sector. The whole sector got wiped out shortly after that, and I heard that that's not too rare.

You can build your own tractor beam factories and tractor beams.

so, he still have to "deal with Paranid", whether making his own fac or buying directly

So... Gain their trust, fill their sectors with fleets and then kill them all, if you want to be evil at them. ;)

You might get lucky and encounter a TL with a Tractor Beam fac on board. But you will need to board said vessel and hope that the station is still in the cargo hold once the ship belongs to you.
