Third Redemption - both for Shipyard selling the factory and for two actual factories producing them.
Maverick: Requesting permission for flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.
Goose: No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.
Maverick: Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz a Split.
Split: Split now give you .... Aaaarrriiiigh.

Where exactly is that sector? I may just be missing it because it's late at night, but I don't see it.

I got my equipment dock trading in Tractor beams recently as I didn't want GOD removing them. Got offered 4 build Tractor beam factory missions in the next few hours so ended up with 6 of them in Paranid space.

2 days later I go to grab one from my EQ dock, out of stock. Hunt around and discover ALL of the factories have gone and the universe is now devoid of Tractor beams :evil:

I found the only tractor beam factory left in my universe. If I dock one of my ships there permanently will it prevent the factory from disappearing? Or will my ship also disappear?

It should prevent the removal of the station, unless something weird happens like you do a defend mission in sector and station dies to PPC friendly fire :D
...All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die....

I've never had GoD remove a station at which I parked a ship but players have occasionally reported that it can happen. Also, even if you do park a ship at the factory it could still be destroyed by pirates.

I would buy a tractor beam while you can just to be safe. You only need one for the entire game.

Honestly, if you're worried about having no Tractor Beams... buy a station yourself and stick it somewhere. Then, whenever you want one, feed it the resources for a single cycle.

Or keep it running on high turnover and sell the surplus to an EQDock.
