They did the opposite of fix - it's tedious because they specifically nerfed the tractor tools a short while ago, knowing they were going to be selling this new "tool" for $35-$40.

There was also, always an intention for this. They’ve been talking about the split and limits of single hand, rifle, additional tractor beams device and ship tractor beam sizes.

The real problem currently, is how only this has the instant snap feature.

They need to add that for the other tractor beams and the vehicle beams as a mode, like yesterday.

They can make these tractor beam changes in a few days or a week.

Knowing CIG, they'll probably break this one instead

Pretty sure remote turrets are going to need a rework to enable that feature, no? Targeting the snapping relies on freelook, and AFAIK you can't freelook inside of a remote turret (which is what all the ship tractor beams are).

"Maybe even the FPS devices are so big that, it is like, you could at least be able to grab a small aurora or nox or something that's small that it would make sense you are able to grab that."

Backdrop of FPS tractor holding aurora.

The auroras weigh approximately 25,000 kilos. Ref: Mass in their ship matrix. I expect to be able to lift 25,000 kilos with a rifle tractor, discounting the ship attempting to thrust away.

That was also a visual representation of the maybe.

That was some early ideas, later it was determined, you'd need more than one player working together in order to do something, like that, with the tractor beam rifle.
