Third Redemption. That's assuming the Trac fac's haven't been destroyed.

Yes they have they are not there in my game. Can you get them from the goners?

You could have a look in the ingame encyclopedia. That'll list all factories and docks which sell them. Doesn't tell you which ones are in stock though. Not totally sure if the Tractor Beam is sold anywhere else though.
Come watch me on Twitch where I occasionally play several of the X games

Nope. Unless you're very lucky you might find an EQ with one in stock. Otherwise you're going to have to build your own TB fac or build one for the NPC's via "Build" missions.

No, you've got the unfocused jumpdrive from them.

It does but it does'nt if you know what I mean. I remember buying one from a station, not in paranid but either from the gonars or terran space. Ages ago in my other game. So where else can I buy a tractor beam?

Despite what you think you remember, AFAIK, the Paranid are the only ones who ever dealt in Tractor Beams in TC.
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 you are playing TC then Deadbeat_Spinn has already told you where they are sold. If there is no factory there then you will have to buy the fact from the shipyard in the same sector. It costs roughly 15mill. I've had to do that in a couple of my games.
