Projects up to 16 small, roof-mounted tractor beams that will help collect resources and boost flying crew. A single crew can control up to four beams, and they will only go to the Manipulator Beam Emitter when there are tasks to help with.
The Manipulator Beam Emitter is a utilitypart that can be added to ships and stations. It is used to draw-in and collect dropped resources and boost crew in space within a 200 meter range of the emitter, making it extremely useful for mining and salvaging wrecks, and also speeding up the resource transfers between ships.
