Post Proposals on Tractors
There is, at present, a very large hole in tractors between tech 6 and tech 16. This results in many newer players dismissing tractors until much later in the game, and is a major nerf for mid game engi's as one of their skills is based on a weapon that technically does not exist.

Things to consider;

1) These are the first tractors to have requirements, missions in this case. Those that have no requirements are generally on par with existing tractors, however the Hitch tractors i have amped up and given them missions to offset the power increase.

2) PERSONAL OPINION; I have always felt the hitch tractors got short shrift, and have designed these to compensate, as well as send tractors in a slightly new direction.

3) the Mission required items usually are either DG drops, have missions of their own, or are BP's. That is entirely intentional, and works to cover the power increase in the items.

4) I am aware that tractor max speed is x2 normal speed (zerker aura does not effect tractor speeds. meh.) The speed increase is intended to take this into account.

Edit, Forgot Vizir.
