As it is now, it's very slow

I think a simple solution is to allow it to have up to 3 targets at same time, so it can pull 3 wrecks at a time

Or you could run something higher than a lvl2.

I think it's meant to be left there a while so you can come back to it

Don't want it obsoleting a Noctis, do we? :P

No, this is intentional. If you want faster tractors get a noctis.

Left there a while? As in off grid? They only work when you're on grid, or so I've been told.

That's not described in the devblog vOv and I don't think it makes any sense

Just when you thought carebears couldn't get lazy enough.....

Hey, CCP.... can I get a deployable structure that makes Thorax pilots come to my lowsec system and type their exact warpable position in local, and not bugger off when I show up on dscan?
I'm bored of shooting Ventures and destroyers.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

You're actually wasting time ganking Ventures and wonder why people won't come to lowsec with more juicy ships.

You're a smart one aren't ya. Roll

To be fair, you can't expect to introduce a module and not expect people to want a better version of it. How long before we have the T2 version?

I drop a Mobile Tractor when I start running a hub in nullsec and it's cleaned the entire site by the time I'm done. All I need to do is bring in the noctis alt for a quick salvage and then on to the next hub.

Everyone seems to forget that Ventures can warp while being disrupted.
Also, your information is off. The kind of people that wander into lowsec in Ventures aren't exactly the risk-averse type. They come back in combat ships more often than you'd think. That's one of the reasons I refuse to kill people's pods.
