PLZ FIX THE TRACTORBEAM!!! and other stuff

[Bexc]

so you fly up to a crystal on an asteroid you shoot it a large clump floats free

you press the tractorbeam button and you would hope it would be like freelancer where a beam zaps out of your ship and the material gets pulled into your ship and if it takes more than 1 second it just apears in your hold ..

not in X4 .. some kind of physics takes place and its all pulled in to your ship via gravity or some crap .. except sometimes the physics lag in this game is so intense that watching even battles take place is like watching a 150ms+ lag in an online game ?? not sure if that is a known bug or not .. but anyways the crystals start falling towards your ship except they dont hit it they fly thru your ship due to what id call physics stepping being to large and zap off in somecases 40km away from the ship

this physics lag is so bad sometimes you can find yourself stuck in all kinds of places .. like jumpgates stations asteroids other ships .. yep iv been stuck inside of a ship before .. apparently if you get up when this happens and try and teleport from the ship you fall thru the floor over and over again ... this doesnt stop even if your pop into your menu and teleport to a station you fall thru the floor there .. if you save and reload u apear somewhere under the floor in the station but teleporting to a somewhere else does fix this

please just make the tractorbeam like freelancer because when you have 1000s of random collectables floating around in for eg argon prime the game does start to slow down even on my beefy rig

this all happened today in v1.5

I've had the "slingshot containers" issue ever since 1.32...

I mostly try to pick up containers manually now (by flying at them), rather than risk scattering them all over the sector.

The only method that works reasonably reliably is to fly within 300-500m of the containers/crystals, and then lightly tap the "O" key. The items then slowly drift over toward you and get picked up 90% of the time. It's slightly less tedious than scooping them up manually.

I believe I started having the tractor issues with 1.32, when I first started, there were no issues, it worked 100% of the time.
