Can we steal cargo from other ships and then sell that cargo in the usual place with the new tractor beam attachment?
TL;DRCargo can be stolen with the tractor beam after destroying a ship and its boxes spill into space, but not directly from a ship's cargo grid until a future cargo refactor.
So the answer is yes and no. So if you blow up the ship first, it will then obviously spawn all the different boxes in space. And then you can steal them. So if you take someone out and all their cargo then gets ejected into space, you can then go outside in EVA with your tractor beam, collect all of those boxes, put them back into your ship, and then sell those boxes on the black market. If you try and interact with them directly from the cargo grid, so say, for example, you just went and bought a load of commodities that appeared in your cargo, and then you went and tried to use the tractor beam, because the boxes there are not physicalized, they're not rigid entities, essentially, what it means is that the tractor beam doesn't really interact with them. So that's going to be undergoing a cargo refactor. So it will be coming in a future update that you'll be able to manipulate them directly from the cargo grid. So that's why I was saying yes and no. So yes, if you blow them up first, but no, if you just walk into somebody's and try to take them off. That essentially covers it.
