A new Tractor Beam block available in Ogonite+


Maoman

Suggestion

There is currently no block unique to ogonite, which makes me sad. Ogonite has little purpose outside of a slightly more efficient armor by HP/weight and giving you a place to put your shiny new ogonite turrets until you get some avorion. Even avorion allows you to finally upgrade your inertia dampeners to be more effective, but ogonite doesn't do anything new.

Tractor beam modules are really useful, especially on very large ships (which you're more likely to build towards end-game) where you might zoom out so much that an item can look like it's right next to you yet is actually too far away to pick up without a tractor beam... but they use a module slot which could be more useful elsewhere.

A block which increases tractor beam range would be very useful for such a ship, and could be easily balanced by simply making it give very little increase per volume, like computer core does now. A very small ship with just 1 cubic meter of tractor beam block would receive a completely negligible increase, but a cruiser or battleship could easily have 1000 cubic meters buried somewhere inside it and raise it's base tractor beam range to, say, 0.5km without modules. That way you can't just get some ogonite and immediately give all your ships awesome tractor beams.
