[XTC] Tractor beam issue

Post by Dallatorre » Fri, 21. Jan 11, 19:45

hello, yesterday and today i spent hours trying to complete a mission.
i found an Argon Minotaur without shields and a big hull damage.
i contacted it and they offered me a job: tow the centaur to an equipment dock in the sector next to mine.
i accepted it and i hooked it with my tractor beam.
near the gate, first time i got trough straight in, but the centaur remained in the other sector...
i tried go behind the gate but the minotaur will just go trough it.
i tried a lot of times using auto pilot and from the other side wait with seta: nothing.
and of course using jump drive.
with my current ship is nearly impossible to board it, he will destroy me immediately.

someone have experience to share?
tank you.

First... you should have asked this in xtc topic

Second... you should be able to tow the ship through gates, but once you're on the other side, clear the gate exit area, stop your ship and hit seta. And don't fire.
The towed ship should follow ... unfortunately even in vanilla it may take a few minutes.... :)
Split say NEED MORE FIREPOWER!!
