Gravity Field
One of the most annoying things in DGing I find is scooping. The debris seem to always find their way to arrange themselves for maximum inefficiency of scooping, scattered across a 50 mile radius. Maybe we could implement a gravity field item? All debris slowly drift towards you when equipped. Upgrades would increase range and pull speed.

Re: Gravity Field
not exactly what your asking for, but just in case you didnt knew. if you have nothing targeted and press the tractor key. it will automatically tractor the closest debris can make the whole scooping ordeal a lot easier.

Re: Gravity Field
Thanks but i knew about that It actually makes the whole process longer if i just press G and get one debris at a time XD

Re: Gravity Field
/signed The tractors are annoying as they make the debris fly around you rather than sticking to the center where it should

Re: Gravity Field
would be cool to just have a tractor that is splash, but you cant use it on ships only debris
or if thats not possible, just make a slash tractor that has soo low power that the only thing it can tractor is debris
OR if thats not possible, just make a skill that gives more range to scoops lol

I always found this completely inefficient. For one, I would rather it get the further away debris, while I manually scoop the close ones. Also, if I target any other debris, I am unable to scoop the one being tractored because of the way targeting works.
As for the gravity field, I would like to see debris gravitate towards eachother. So if you kill an AI, all the debris would float around eachother instead of flying away. If two of them get close enough, the debris fields would combine and form a bigger floating ball.

Re: Gravity Field
I vaguely remember suggesting a similar idea a while back myself (I think it was a tractor net or something) signed for it. Loot is such a pain to scoop

Re: Gravity Field
Radias idea is good(debris field instead of debris?)

Re: Gravity Field
I've wanted this for ages. Much of the time I play on a rather weak computer, and debris is actually invisible because of the lagkiller. So, I have to scroll to every single piece of debris or tractor it all one piece at a time, and it is tremendously annoying.

Re: Gravity Field
An alternate option is also a wider scoop area. So you don't have to fly right over it (a difficult task while in a warship).

Re: Gravity Field
I think holding down C should auto-scoop everything in range, with a small delay between scoops. It wouldn't be hard to code what happens if two people try to scoop the same thing.
