LORD V4DER ON P1LLS - Hry
It feels like it just makes the multi-tool worthless. I guess it can still do a couple of things but tractor beaming was it's most important role. Now I have to carry both, one for cutting and slavage/repairs and the other for tractor beaming.
The multi tool is compact and used for smaller operations. It’s supposed to make the multi tool less useful because right now it’s used for literally everything and you can hold it in one flipping hand
@@TheDestroyer702 There is no reason to use it for smaller operations though.
You can always carry 2 primary guns. Even single seat fighters have space for 2 primary weapons.
What situation would the multitool tractor beam ever be used now once the big one is added? I guess there isn't any harm that it's an option but still.
Yeah, I understand what are you saying...I would like to know will they restrict for multi-tool to be able to lift for example up to 8 or 16 SCU containers so that for bigger ones we will need to use MaxLift...will see. I personally don't have the problem carrying both devices. Bigger tractor beam will be stored in my ship so that I can take it when needed. Another thing that CIG will implement is cargo containers in which we will be able to store smaller containers so I am guessing will we be able to move these special containers with MaxLift only?
@@LORDV4DERONP1LLS I'm pretty sure the plan is for the multitool to have a lot lower limit. Like not even being able to lift the 32SCU boxes. I remember something about it being cracked up as a temporary measure.
I'll have both just because I'm gonna have the multitool for cutting and salvage/repair... Until better versions of those tools are added anyway. Lol.
I just think the tractor attachment is obsolete now. An option nobody will use.
I guess it mostly seems weird to me that they felt they needed another level of handheld tractor beam. They could have accomplished the same thing with multitool attachment variants.
Then again I'm talking about the people who made the ROC and ROC-DS.
I think their will be a lot of cases where you will choose the smaller one.
If you use your multi tool for doing bunker running then there’s no need to sacrifice a weapon slot on your armour to take the new tractor beam gun.
or doing smaller things like box missions why waste the weapon slot when it’s not needed.
I think everyday use for most people will be the small one and then people who deal with cargo a lot will have the bigger one with them.
It won't replace the regular multitool, for that tool is very versatile, and this seems tractor specific. I would only bring this as a salvager or cargo runner. Pirates may have good uses for it too.
Yeah, I believe they will find a way for both tools to have their role and value in future. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Very cool! Looking forward to trying this out! Great channel! Subbed and glad to support!
Thank you so very much for your kind words. Stay safe in the Verse and may the force be with you!
Nice video LORD V4DER, I think CIG said at some point they were going to have weight limits on the handheld tractor beams. The small handheld would be for small items and the larger rifle tractor beam would be able to move larger cargo boxes. Ships are to be only moved using a ship-class tractor beam.
Yeah, that makes sense. In latest EPTU build they added weight instead scu so when you pick up a container it was showing like 800kg instead 8scu...so I also believe they will add weight restrictions to tractor beam tools which is fine! Love to see what future brings! Thanks for your thoughts. Stay safe in the Verse!
Today I tested the tractor beam of a 315 on a Cyclone that was turned off (wouldn't work shielded) and was able to lift it up in armistice zone and move it around. I put it on the roof of the storage building. I saw a different test where the MaxLift can pick up a Nova, barely, and move it very slowly around. I was surprised who easily you picked up the Aurora.
Yeah, so now you can use MaxLift in armistice zone? Nice! I was trying to move my Corsair while I was in space and it is a no can do! Can't have a lock at all which is not bad since I really don't want to be able to move a Reclaimer with it.
DG360 ARMY WAS HERE!! Great job!!
WOW! Thank you...love @DG360 and his communitay!!! Thanks a lot and may the force be with you!
Cool little device, looking forward to throw my friends sitting in ground vehicles around 😂
Yeah, that will be fun for them too :D :D...thanks for commenting!
Excellent testing runs mate, i loved seeing the test with the Terrapin, even more, i like that it still does have some effect on the ship, even though it is above the lifting range, it gives you that tactile feedback that the mass is just too much for your equipment, instead of simply doing absolutely nothing and giving an error text.
Thank you for your feedback. I agree on that "too heavy" effect that they did and I am glad that we can't just lift everything with it. In 3.21.1 you can now see the weight of cargo containers in kilograms!
@@LORDV4DERONP1LLS I like that you can also see the ship's landing gear suspension at work as well, the weight in kilograms is also very nice to complete the notion of how powerful these tools are.
Seems like even you can't lift Terrapin or heavier ships you at least can slide them on surface. And it'll be interesting to see more tests with heavy ships and for example a few players with same maxlift tractor beams. will it be possible to lift heavier ships in this case?
For now when you use several tractor beams the power does not combine as I saw in one of the videos. In future this will maybe be possible but then again...for moving large ships we have tractor beam installed on our ships. I am afraid that people would abuse possibility to move large ships with hand tractor beams.
@@LORDV4DERONP1LLS they will of course. and with bigger, mounted on bigger ships - way more often 😅 but anyway, thanks for video and review of new tech. seems like I'd maybe can jump into PTU to look by myself around
@@voidgameplays2970 I encourage you to jump to EPTU and try this tool :). EPTU is a bit unstable from time to time but still worth to try. Thanks for your kind words and comments. Stay safe in the Verse my friend.
@@LORDV4DERONP1LLS Thanks for great suggestion, I'll try maybe on this weekend. want to wind off from SC for a while after PU experience last time, when I can't depart from 09 Hangar on GHEX 😅
See you in the 'Verse 🫡
So FS9 and the Maxlift on my big backback.
Good choice :)
😲 This thing is cool!
Yeah, it looks awesome!
yeah the multi tool is like the size 0 and the rifle is like s1 and the ship based one is bigger
The Nomad and Cutlass ones are small and the other ones are double the strength
Try to lift Terrapin with two other people!
I saw a video where two people tried to lift a Ballista and they where unsuccessful. It seems that two or more tractor beams still don't combine the power but I believe it will be fixed in future. I am pretty sure that there will be some changes on handheld tractor beams soon.
For those that say the multi tool will go obsolete are kinda jumping the gun.
It's like a smaller less powerful version of probably all the bigger tools with a specific job that will come in later.
Most likely all the multi tool attachments will get their own large dedicated version later as the game progresses in development, for professions and jobs that require such tools.
Imagine if you see a person running around with a pistol on the hip but equipped with 1 or 2 large utility primary you can tell they are non combat professions.
For example. Haulers, Miners, Salvage contractors, etc..
Yeah I agree on that...I am sure that both tool will have their specific usage further in the game development. Looking forward to see what future bring. Thank you for your thoughts.
I wonder if it changes if you're in space on bigger items like the ships?
Gonna try that as soon as CTD's stop...EPTU is very unstable sometimes! Will test this and leave the answer here in comments!
Just tried that now...so, I was in space with my Drake Corsair, I turned off my shields and went outside to try to move it with MaxLift tractor beam. No can do!! I couldn't get the lock at all! I even tried to turn off power completely and still I was unable to lock and move the ship! It seems they already patched some thing up since I had to download and update to EPTU today!
I kinda hope the multitool tractor beam now gets a bit of a debuff. I feel like it shouldn't be able to lift more than a standard SCU crate.
The multitool should offer a feature at a very basic level but should always be clearly inferior to the stand-alone tool. If the only thing the multitool can't do is lift an Aurora, the Maxlift isn't really worth it.
Yeah I agree and I think they will reduce the power on standard multi-tool to like small crates and lifting dead people bodies for looting.
@@LORDV4DERONP1LLS in addition I’d like to also see this bigger tractor beam have something like a wide beam setting….grab 10 dead bodies at once
@@cjwyalk7843 Now that would be cool feature to have :D
Everything looks so good. Never looks this good in the commoners server
Believe me, this video was a pain to make with CTD's every 10-15 minutes! Luckily crash recovery finally works so I was able to continue where I was after every crash! EPTU is still really unstable for most of the time. I believe this tool will work fine in PU when it gets released.
The servers as of today's build are great. They've had lots of problems with CTDs. I was shocked how many personal frames I was getting in the latest build. Running very smooth, even with 105 people on.
@Rikalonius Repair bugs, 30k's, no reaction NPC's, ship weapons that won't charge up to fire, torpedoes that yoyo, characters not respawning, inventory bugs, loot crates unlootable. Many more. It's better than the disaster that was 3.20 but nobody is gonna take you seriously when you call the servers "great".
@@Rikalonius Is that EPTU or PU? Nice to hear, will test it today since there are new purchasable cargo containers(2,4 and 8 scu) that I want to test!
We need to know if using 2 or 3 may move Tarapin?? Like multi towing with SRV??
For now I believe there is no power multiply when using more then 1 tractor beam, but then again, there where already 2 EPTU updates so maybe it is possible to use several tractor beams for lifting heavier objects.
Don't go into Pyro solo or you die, goo with a crew if you take a bigger ship!
What are you his momy?
Yeah, Pyro is a dangerous place right now...I am testing it a few days now and it is awesome. On every mission there is a good chance that you will encounter live player who will attack you! Still love the Pyro...looks awesome!
What can this lift that the regular multi-tool can't? Can the regular one lift an Aurora?
Nope, regular one can't lift Aurora. Some of the new 32SCU containers which are heavier then like 2,5 tons(depending what kind of goods is inside) can't be lifted with normal tool so that is why you will need MaxLift in future.
Was their a range differance and battery life I find the hand held annoying if I dont take a spare.
I believe Maxlift have a better batery life but to be honest, I never had a problem with battery on any of these handheld multitools and I use them a lot. With Maxlift you will be able to lift some heavier containers and small size ships. Cargo containers now have weight so for example, you will be able to lift 32scu contanier which weight like 1000kg with regular multitool, for 2000kg you will need MaxLift!
For 20k auec this thing better be able to lift a reclaimer
It can't :D
Yeah but if you get more people with the same tractor beam could you lift a Catpiller?
I believe this is not possible for now. Power is currently not multiplied while using several tractor beams as I understand from a video where two people tried to lift a Ballista and where not successful.
How do you equip it? I bave it in the 1st slot on my backpack but theres no way yo equip it
Press 5 on your keyboard twice. If you have Maxlift and small hand tool you need to press 5 twice. If it is not working, try to press and hold 1 and then a popup menu will appear where you can choose which gun/tool to equip.
@@LORDV4DERONP1LLS I can't figure it out, just trying to take scu boxes that I have 6 loaded on my ship but they say too heavy volume exceeded so I got the max tractor and just can't equip it so all my boxes are stuck on my ship
@@triggerhappy52786 Problem with MaxTractor is that is considered as weapon and you can't pull out weapons in armistice zones! so if you are in a hangar or anywhere in armistice zone(that means that you can't use any kind of weapons) then you can't use MaxTractor.
First impressions? The tire tracks of the Greycat someone threw at your skull
Nah...it's awesome! Have a nice day!
wtf is going on, one new thing after another.. they rly pick up pace after sq42 now...
I hope they will continue in this pace in the future :)
conisidering it's been on the pipe line for ages
makes you wonder what took them so long.
Well the answer isn't CIG it's YOU and everyone like YOU who doesn't project what star citizen will be every year.
if you can't project your vision of reality then doubt will do it for you.
Tool is probably done a long time ago, I believe they will soon implement the need for that tool to be used in game.
But can you grab and toss other players / NPC's? People don't have shields and weigh less than a vehicle.
No, I don't believe we can do that. At least with live players. It would be a complete chaos if that is possible. You can transfer dead bodies just like with regular multitool.
You can lift a dead body, or knocked out body, with a handheld, but you can't move a live body or steal their weapon from their hand.
