Tractor Beam II

Increases bonus box loot, as it says.
Are extra energies and uridium you receive from boxes also increased ?

 

Hello,

Yes that does include extra energies and uridium.

Is there anything further we can assist you with?

 

Hello Enigmatic,
Yes they increase the bonus box loot.If you got slavage protocols and box doubler you can make around 15-20k uri by boxing an hour .

 

So maxing out this and luck II is a pretty descent strategy I guess..
Thank you, it can close.

 

Hello Enigmatic

Boxing can give good amount of uridium if you have box doubler, Radar protocols (level3), Auto looter gear (level3), pilot bio skills like Tractor Beam I & II and Luck I & II.

Detailed explanation:
Maximum Radar protocol (Level 3) is only good for collecting palladium but for boxing you would need only 3 or 4 Radar protocol (Level 3) and rest Salvage protocols.

Salvage protocols: Increases bonus box loot by 3%.
Luck I & II: 12% increase from bonus box contents.
Tractor Beam II: 20% increase from bonus box contents.

So if you have 9 salvage you would get 27% total boost and 3 Radar protocol (Level 3) to increase the range of your P.E.T and also your P.E.T should be active all the time on Auto-looter mode.

If you are going with 37 boxing bio with Luck I & II:

Skill	PP
Ship Hull I	2
Logistics	2
Luck I	2
Shield Engineering	5
Evasive Maneuvers I	2
Ship Hull II	3
Shield Mechanics	5
Tractor Beam II	5
Bounty Hunter I	2
Bounty Hunter II	3
Evasive Maneuvers II	3
Luck II	3
Total	37

With this bio and P.E.T set-up you will get:
150 uridum in battle maps with Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam II = 512 uridium (If pet collects)
5 gg spins (If pet collects)
4 gg spins (If ship collects)

Alternate way:
Firstly if you want to get maximum amount of gate spins in battle maps from bonus boxes and also have your pvp bio retained, you would need only Tractor Beam II skills no need to put points in Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam I.
Boxing & PVP bio 37 pp:

Skill	PP
Ship Hull I	2
Ship Hull II	3
Engineering	1
Shield Mechanics	5
Tractor Beam II	5
Shield Engineering	5
Bounty Hunter I	2
Bounty Hunter II	3
Evasive Maneuvers I	2
Evasive Maneuvers II	3
Rocket Fusion	3
Electro-Optics	3
Total	37

Note:
You should have all level 3 protocols (radar and salvage). Minimum 9 salvage and 3 radar protocol along with box doubler and auto-looter in order to get 5gg spins if your P.E.T picks up the bonus box and 4 gg spins if your ship picks up the bonus box.

Tractor Beam I: This skills increases your cargo loot and won't affect bonus boxes, so its not wise to put points in this skill.
Luck I & Luck II: This skill is good and in total it gives 12% increase on bonus box contents but the actual difference having this 2 skills and only having Tractor Beam II is negligible, Refer to example below:

Example:
A) 150 uridum in battle maps with Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam II = 512 uridium (If pet collects)
B) 150 uridum in battle maps with Tractor Beam II = 457 uridium (If pet collects)

Total Difference: A-B = 55 uridium.
The boxing bio is only good for pilots who have box-doubler and P.E.T related stuffs and in the end it all depends on your choice what bio you want to go for, so all the best with that.

With Tractor Beam II: The calculation have been done only on basis of Tractor Beam II & Box doubler.
150 uridum (b-maps) = 360 uridium
100 uridum (regular maps) = 240 uridium
1 gg spins (regular maps)= 2 gg spins
1.5 gg spins (b-maps)= 4 gg spins

Without box doubler: Note the calculation have been done on basis of Tractor Beam II only.
150 uridum (b-maps) = 180 uridium
100 uridum (regular maps) = 120 uridium
1 gg spins = 1 gg spins
1.5 gg spins (b-maps)= 2 gg spins

Tractor Beam II = 20% increase from bonus box content
Note: The chances of getting GG spins on hourly basis may vary.

Enjoy the game.
