Unable to tractor LAZURITE **SOLVED** - Evo - 04-16-2013
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20997314/LAZURITE.jpg
So, here I am deciding to make a nomad and get 2 LAZURITE codenames, I saunter on over to the wreck, pop it, see my wonderful codename and attempt to tractor. "Target is out of range" haunts me to this very minute as I hear it time after time of hitting b and shift+b, going out of tractor range then back into tractor range. Halp. And no, I did not loot this wreck before.

What ID you using?

Well, he's flying a nomad ship. Take a guess.
Maybe take a look at your cargo hold to ensure you have couple slots open?

I'm guessing what it is, I just want to hear it from the lad.

Generic Nomad ID from /restart nomad. I'm going to assume it's like this to prevent exactly what I'm doing since it's a bit easy mode but who knows. And yes, the cargo hold was quite literally empty. The thing is though, it wouldn't even tractor the shield batteries/nanobots which is confusing if that is the case.

Here is a quote from the wiki:
Quote:Pilot carrying this ID is a Nomad/Hybrid, who :
Can attack only in self-defense or assisting Nomads and Wild in combat.
Cannot ally with non-Nomads.
Cannot attack Nomads and Wild.
Cannot demand credits or cargo.
Cannot land anywhere except the Shrine.
Allowed ships: Nomad Light Fighter (Nomad Morph) only.
Doesn't say anything about not tractoring, but you can't ask for cargo or credits, so that's pretty much an explanation right there.
No wreck farming with Nomads laddy.

I do believe you linked the wrong ID there. In any case, "cannot demand credits or cargo" does not equal "cannot tractor anything at all period" I don't feel that sufficiently explains it so meh, shall wait for an official word from an admin or someone who's knowledgeable if this is for sure a mechanic or my tractor beam just doesn't love me.

One I linked was the Nomad Trial ID, I assumed that's the one you get in the /restart Nomad.

Nomad ID doesn't allow tractoring of any object. My guess it was for to prevent getting Codenames so easily or some other stuff. Ya but thats all I heard, so get the codename the hard way.

Ahhhhhh. Alright, explains it. (bow) It was confusing me because I haven't used the ID before.
