DESCRIPTION​

The droid tractor arm is a modification that is commonly added to both loader and mining droids. This attachment either adds or replaces an existing arm to/from the droid. The droid tractor arm uses tractor beam technology similar to that of the Tractor Rifle, to assist droids in moving around either a large number of items or especially heavy items. The arm could come in a number of shapes and sizes, with some appearing to be humanoid in shape while others had a look reminiscent of blasters.

The droid tractor arm could project a tractor beam which could target an inorganic object up to 35 meters away. The arm is capable of lifting the object up to 30 meters vertically, and can pull or push the object within a 35 meter radius of the projector. The pull or pushing of an object cannot exceed 10 meters per second, meaning the item pulled or pushed cannot be thrown around too quickly. The position of objects moved by the arm is influenced by hand gestures the droid makes.

Frequent use of the tractor beam projector can cause extra power consumption for the droid, and also requires a short 'cooldown' period after each use. This period is extended based on the weight of the object being lifted by the tractor beam.

The tractor beam produced by the arm is an invisible force field, but those with HUD systems which can pick up on heat signatures or energy signatures will be able to detect the tractor beam.

LEGALITY​

Legal. The droid tractor arm is a perfectly legal modification which can be made to droids of all shapes and sizes. If the arm is not attached to a Labor droid of some kind however, then it will be looked at with some scrutiny.

INTENT​

Create a modification for droids based on cannon devices such as the tractor rifle, and legends devices such as the CIS portable tractor beam. Additionally, it creates an armor function unique to droids.

RESTRICTIONS​

Droids with this modification must have rechargeable batteries. Additionally, this modification takes up an armor function. The Droid Tractor Arm can lift a 0.1-50 kg object for a 1 post cooldown, a 51-100 kg object for a 2 post cooldown, or a 101-150 kg object for a 3 post cooldown. Each use of this modification drains the droid's current battery life by 1 hour. This modification can never directly target a player character in PvP.
