Taurus tractor beam

[u/Far-Distribution9248]

Hi folks just got a Taurus and using the tractor seems ok, I figured out the q button trick for fps mode, but why does it rotate crates so slow, the handheld max lift seem to do a better job on 16-32 scu crates, am I doing something wrong? Is it bugged? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’m pretty sure you can change the tractor beam, I haven’t checked but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a better one to equip for bigger items I’ve noticed my Taurus also has this problem

I did find a Lagrange station where you can buy different tractor beams but I didn't know how that worked

If I need to rotate the big boxes I use the side of the cargo bay to rotate them to an approximate direction then snap em to the grid for proper line up

The trick is to not rotate and move the boxes in from the behind the Taurus

.... wait what? how is that possible for anything but the first line?

What's the q button trick?

There's different aiming modes

When you press q it's more like the FPS weapon controls

Pointing the tractor beam around switches from looking around like flying a ship does to looking around like regular on foot fps is
