Where to buy tractor beam X3R

Post by Aliens62 » Mon, 11. Jan 10, 10:36

Have looked on the forum, and cannot find a relevant thread. I cannot find any eqpt dock/shipyard that sells tractor beams in my game. Any ideas where I should be looking?

If you use Scorp's Map you can sync your game to the map and you will be able to find any goods in your game. I used to use this because sometimes a factory would be destroyed or taken away and then I would be stuck, so I recommend using this map because it can check all the stations in your game.

When Tractor Beams were introduced to the X3R, two Equipment Docks, one Paranid and one Split, did start trading them and there were supposed to be NPC Forge nearby. However, the GoD was never told, and had a habit of removing the Forges, and hence the Docks did remain empty after a while.

The X3R ver 2.0 added Tractor Beam Forges available for the player to buy from selected Shipyards. Furthermore,

Bala Gi missions require towing, and they should ensure that Dock in Interworlds have a piece at the time it is needed.
But the venerable X3R Bonuspack defies GoD too. It makes sure that the NPC Forge mentioned by Terre is rebuild, should the GoD dare to touch it. So make sure you have the Bonuspack. 8)
