  1. I have a question on this skill. I have never used it, but as I have just stated playing again after 7 long years away from the game this skill has me wondering If I should add it...

    Increase cargo loot by 1 % I guess the most is 5%. However, it says Cargo Box Loot, that means droppings from Alien kills Also I guess, Space Ball too right? Maybe even the Cube Graveyard if I am not mistaken Tractor beam I that is Dippings too right... 5% is not a lot but every bit counts in this game.... since I am opening mines I need to decide which way to go Cruelty or Tractor Beam 1 to get my 3 pp in Alien Hunter...

    So, maybe that extra % may help in box pick ups...
     
  2. You are a PvP player and as such you are not looking for the credits from picking up Cargo drops. I do not play Spaceball but aren't the drops more like Bonus Boxes (rewards) instead of Cargo Drops (refining ores).

    Go for Cruelty. This GUIDE might help with some of your questions.
     
  3. I have never really used the Tractor Beam 1 or 2... I have always had a battle set up for my ships. The Reason I was really looking into it is because I am opening Detonation along with Explosives which is one of my favored skills.

    To Make a long story short. I have a choice Cruelty or Tractor Beam 1 to open Alien Hunter so then I can open final Detonation. Never the less, I have alway used Cruelty. But, I am not much in to Honor or nothing like that, I am more into Killing, I could give a rats butt about being General, as long as I get my daily kills I am happy with that. I fly around all over the maps looking for kills

    And the Reason I was asking is because if I ever get to the graveyard and do space ball events I like to get more gates spins, More GG spins more ammo more kills. Cruelty gives honor, thats not my bag, I get that anyways, Tractor could really be helpful now that I think about it, if it works the way I think it does it may have some good use. I know there are guys they want to be on the top row and will do anything for honor lol... As long as I kill they can die for the tops spots doesn't do me any good to be on top, I end up there anyways once the killing starts. Funny part is I don't really care for top ranks the system puts me there once I start grinding, I don't even do quest the quest don't pay till you get to level 22 so I will wait for those quest. Have to relearn now such a short time I have been on game I have 50 LF4s now lol. Come to find out they are only good for Pet now lol I have better chance to get 20 old LF4s than to get one green one.

  4. I know you do not grind NPC's and it is there ORES that get affected by tractor beam 1. Tractor Beam II is what you want for bonus box increases.
     
  5. TB I affects cargo loot, ones containing the in-game ores.
    TB II affects any loot containing ammo, monetary, etc. Even Spaceball cargo is affected by TB II

    TB I is not required to get TB II, and TB II is commonly used for boxing.
