Will the tractor beams be a single focused beam at ship level, or will it be a variable cone with lowering power the wider we go?
Thorsten Leimann · Lead Systems Designer, EU PU team

So for now it is a single-target beam, and the reasons are more complex as well, because if we allowed the ownership of multiple items, that would get really complicated with physics and synchronizing those physics. So we decided for now that we will just go for one target per beam. But on the other side, we were talking about how we can utilize the technology that we have with the tractor beam to affect multiple objects. I think Dan brought it up at some point, these distortion fields or something like that, right?

Sorry, not much to say about that right now. It's still too early. Again, this is stuff where at this point it's in, I would call it ideation. It hasn't even been prototyped yet. So confirming anything at this point would be a bit premature. So let's see where we get to. We'll update as soon as we have more.
