The C1 Spirit is marked to have an S3 tractor beam. Will the C1 be able to tractor smaller vehicles? And what's the difference between an S3 and an S5?

Yeah, that's what I was talking about before. It's not supposed to tractor vehicles. It's 32 SCU cargo containers, the size 2. So it's getting changed to a size 2, but it's just part of the refactor of the tractor beam sizes.

It's still just as powerful as it was.

It doesn't do any less or more than we said it was going to do originally; it's just that the numbering's changed, because we're now doing component grading instead of weapon grading.

So if you've got a PTV that's super small, can that be picked up by a size 2?

Mark GibsonLead Vehicle Content Designer

32 SCU containers. What was set as the maximum, you'd have to ask EU PU.

Is the PTV smaller or larger than 32?

Well, physically, it's smaller. It's much smaller.

And it would weigh less.

Definitely would have less mass.
