For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to tractor things in with the rear turret.
These are the steps I follow:
1. Target item.
2. hit alt-t to have turret select, then ctrl-t to have turret AI on (after making sure turret is set to tractor, not guns).
3. Fly by item so that rear turret can see it.
4. then it should tractor it?
When I try manually without the turret AI, it is just about impossible to match speeds with the item ('end' key doesnt work for this for some reason), fly a course so the item is directly behind the ship, and then switch into the turret and pick it up. Is there some easy method to get this to work?
thanks
