Tractor Beam color

[Banza]

Depends on ID,not the ship.

IT DEPENDS ON THE SHIP YOU TWITS!!!
When i had a sabre it was purple then i bought a falcata it was blue!
and my trader's ship (kasari transport) has a white tractor

And I say it depends on the ID you twit!

I have a RM Wraith, the tractor is green. When I'm on my Wilde Wraith (the exact same ship) the beam is a whitish color.

Every ship I have with a Junker ID, the tractor is yellow-green.

Ship type is irrelevant.

maybe its the shield type? maybe if its gravitron or positron ? but i still think its the ID, why are so many pirate tracktors purple? he outcast one is purple, and i hear a lot more are too.

Because pirates are pussies, that's why. :laugh:


Anyway. There's some potential in tractor beams to be tweaked for 4.85. It provides some info in a furball that which side just tractored in the bats and bots.

The beam can be set on any ID using the usual (255, 255, 255) RGB colors so just about any color is possible.

I too think they should be set to a certain basic logic and maybe tied to reputation in a way.

Red = Pirates/Outcasts/Corsairs
White = Civilians/Freelancers/Traders/Corporations
Green = Bounty Hunters/House Lawfulls

Black = The Order
Blue = Nomads/Keepers/Wilde
Yellow = SCRA
Purple = Admins/Special RP/Terrorist/Phantoms



Eh just an idea :)

Which is why BAF-P Challengers have red beams, while my BAF Chalenger has a yellow-orange beam.

Red = Pirates/Outcasts/Corsairs
White = Civilians/Freelancers/Traders/Corporations
Green = Bounty Hunters/House Lawfulls

Green for all lawfuls? Only Rheinlandis really green, Liberty is more blue. As for OC/Sairs having the same colour...what about when they fight each other? If you can recognise your own side's colour, it has a small bonus in fights...you can tell who got those spare bots/bats.

Nothing to do with the ships at all, it's just the IDs, it is your tractor beam of course ... Nuff said.
