Thinius Phatt	I'll sketch the scenario first and then pose the question I am a Hutt in a Cap ship equipped with dock and tractor beams. I have pilot privs on the cap and the cargo bay has 1000T capacity left and about 20000m3 left as well. I have command privs on a herd of little salvagers that I want to tractor into the cap ship. The salvagers are also permitted to dock on the cap and have privs set for them to do so. Both the cap and the salvagers are parked on the surface of a planet (at the exact same location). question: Have I done everything correctly to use the tractors under "actions" to get the salvagers on board?

Togan Jano	Sounds right to me. If it doesn't work, try assigning yourself Pilot privileges on the Salvagers, too (it won't influence you piloting the capship). ____________

Thinius Phatt	Togan, I have pilot privs on them as well and they still do not allow me to tractor them so I'm feeling even more useless as a Hutt than I normally do. the error message is "cannot tractor target" Would one of the admins like to logon with my account and verify the problem as a fellow faction member is having no problems tractoring salvagers off the ground, and I have had no problem tractoring faction ships in space?

Hal Breden	Aren't the salvagers vehicles? If so; Are tractor beams enabled to work on anything but ships at the moment? ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Dred Oodoov	The salvagers are ships and not vehicles.

Thinius Phatt	Ok...now I am confused. I tractored a ship in space and unloaded it at 0,0 in the city. Now when I try and tractor it back on board it gives me the same erroro message "cannot tractor target" Have you guys go something against Hutts? :) The other race groups seem to be able to tractor without a problem under similar conditions.

Razo Solondo	I looked in the rules for info on using tractor beams and couldn't find anything. Is there a delay between uses? And can someone point me to the location of the rules about using tractor beams. ____________ Xeon's Speeder Race Novice League Winner Year 7 Day 334.

Wilhelm von Ismay	There's no delay. It's likely a glitch due to race restrictions. ____________ Patriarch of House Ismay

Razo Solondo	I think Wilhelm is right. The salvagers are freighter class and Hutts cannot be assigned as pilots to freighters. That might be your problem. You have to get someone else to help you get those salvagers aboard. I'm not sure what's up with the ship you tractored and unloaded.

Wilhelm von Ismay	I'd recommend reporting it as a bug as your race shouldn't stop you from tractoring things onboard. ____________ Patriarch of House Ismay
