to sum it up, half the range, 10000 M3 smaller cargo hold, But can target two wreaks and pull two of them at once.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! NOT ALL NUMBERS ARE SET IN STONE. THE DEVS HAVE THE LAST WORD ON SUCH THINGS!

All you had to say was half the range, reduced cargo, and tractor two wrecks at once, instead of that wall of text…

I can but It’s more fun this way :stuck_out_tongue:

there I made it smaller but you can read the wall of text if you click the summary arrow

anyways, back on topic.

I think this will be a great new variation for the mobile tractor unit as it can pull in two wreaks at a time, at the cost of half the range and 10000m3 smaller cargo hold, this variation will be loved by salvagers and ratters.

So…
A marauder.

6

a t2 battleship? I’m talking about a variation for the mobile tractor unit, “Not A Ship”

7

You clearly never done ratting in a MArauder then :smiley:

8

I guess the question to ask here is, what problem is this new MTU trying to solve that can’t be resolved by TB bonused ships such as Noctis and marauders? Also, the ‘Magpie’ MTU is 50% more efficient than a base MTU (although at exponentially higher cost…).

9

I suggest Tractor Beam Sentry Drone. No cargo at all, just to pull 'em wrecks.

10

I envision the Jita 4-4 landscape filled with dozens or even a hundred or more of these things duking out who to tractor those ganker wrecks first. :rofl:
