Hmm... sounds like a cap ship tractor that can move asteriods.... I dunno

Tractor beam turrets on cap ships would rock.

And it'd be a bitch to code in asteroids.

Okay, wait:

Am I the only one seeing ideas that need to be combined?

Girlyboy, that is both the most awesome and most ridiculous idea at the same time.

I suggested the tractor beam back on '03 ... you need to code it yourself.

Actually in the CD's I got from Peter Arisman there's a document/worklist of considered game features and their dev status at the time (1999-2000?). Tractor beams was one of the ideas mentioned (but no progress had been made).

i have a $#@!ing lot of time at work.

step 1. advance beyond hello world in C++

step 2. code up Lyko's Homeworld Allegiance Mod

step 3. make Lyko's Homeworld Allegiance Mod persistent

step 4. tractor beams

I'm at step 1. , Lyko.Haven't programmed in 15 years.I'll firgure it out 1 step at a time.

Imago approves of the decade old tractor beam idea, but has no plan of attack.
