Here are the answers, straight from the designers themselves.\n\nCan the SRV\u2019s towing beam move SCU containers, items, asteroids\/rocks, or even people?\nThe SRV\u2019s towing beam is a little different compared to your \u201cordinary\u201d tractor beam. It can move cargo containers and ships and, in the future, will also be able to tow asteroids and rocks. However, it will not be able to detach items and move people.\n\nCan the SRV quantum travel while towing?\nYes. One of the SRV's main roles in the universe will be to help ships that have broken down, run out of fuel, or are critically damaged.\n\nCan multiple SRVs work together to move larger ships\/objects? If so, can this be done in quantum travel?\nMultiple SRVs can link up to pull larger and heavier vehicles. They will also be able to quantum travel while linked together, though this feature is coming later.\n\nDoes towing impact the SRV\u2019s fuel consumption?\nAnything that changes a ship\u2019s weight will have an impact on its fuel consumption, as it will have to work harder to provide the same level of thrust.\n\nCan the towing beam be used both in space and in atmosphere?\nYes, the tractor beam works both in space and atmosphere. But, as gravity is applied to the object being towed, it could mean the tether breaks or becomes harder to wield.\n\nDoes a ship or vehicle need to be in soft death to be towed?\nNo, as long as the ship does not have active shields, you will be able to attempt to tow it.\n\nCan the towing beam be used \u201cin reverse\u201d? For example, a larger ship pulling a disabled SRV that still has towing capability?\nYes, this is possible, but the ship the towing beam is attached to has to fly very carefully.\n\nWhat\u2019s the effective range of the towing beam?\nAs of now, the maximum distance that you can target a ship is 300m, with a maximum-strength distance of 125m - the max-strength distance is the distance the towing beam will try to get the ship to when in towing mode. However, these are balancing values, so are subject to change.\n\nWhat prevents an SRV from stealing another vehicle with its beam?\nIf the target ship has its shields up, the SRV will be unable to tow it. So, if someone wants to make sure their vehicle cannot be taken, they will need to leave it powered on with the shields up.\n\nIs the tractor arm bespoke to the SRV, or can it be swapped to another capable ship?\nThe SRV uses a bespoke tractor beam setup unique to the SRV.\n\nDoes activating the towing beam affect your signature levels?\nYes. As the towing beam uses power, it will cause your ship to generate more signature.\n\nDoes the SRV have any weapon racks or personal storage?\nThe SRV comes with a weapon rack for you and your passengers to store their equipment in. It also features a suit locker and personal storage for the pilot.\n\nDISCLAIMERThe answers accurately reflect development's intentions at the time of writing, but the company and development team reserve the right to adapt, improve, or change feature and ship designs in response to feedback, playtesting, design revisions, or other considerations to improve balance or the quality of the game overall.","de_DE":"Argo SRV\nFRAGEN UND ANTWORTEN\nJetzt, wo das SRV zum Spiel hinzugef\u00fcgt wurde, haben wir den Fahrzeug- und Gameplay-Teams ein paar Fragen zu Argos neuem Zugschiff gestellt und einige Fragen aus unserer letzten Q&A aufgefrischt. Hier sind die Antworten, direkt von den Designern selbst.\n\nKann der Schleppbalken des SRV SCU-Container, Gegenst\u00e4nde, Asteroiden\/Gestein oder sogar Menschen transportieren?\nDer Zugstrahl des SRV ist etwas anders als ein \"normaler\" Traktorstrahl. Er kann Frachtcontainer und Schiffe bewegen und wird in Zukunft auch Asteroiden und Felsen schleppen k\u00f6nnen. Allerdings kann er keine Gegenst\u00e4nde abtrennen und Menschen bewegen.\n\nKann das SRV Quantum beim Schleppen reisen?\nJa. Eine der Hauptaufgaben des SRV im Universum wird es sein, Schiffen zu helfen, die eine Panne haben, denen der Treibstoff ausgeht oder die schwer besch\u00e4digt sind.\n\nK\u00f6nnen mehrere SRVs zusammenarbeiten, um gr\u00f6\u00dfere Schiffe\/Gegenst\u00e4nde zu bewegen? Wenn ja, kann dies mit Quantenreisen geschehen?\nMehrere SRVs k\u00f6nnen sich zusammenschlie\u00dfen, um gr\u00f6\u00dfere und schwerere Fahrzeuge zu ziehen. Sie werden auch in der Lage sein, gemeinsam Quantenreisen durchzuf\u00fchren, aber diese Funktion kommt erst sp\u00e4ter.\n\nWirkt sich das Abschleppen auf den Treibstoffverbrauch des SRVs aus?\nAlles, was das Gewicht eines Schiffes ver\u00e4ndert, wirkt sich auf seinen Treibstoffverbrauch aus, da es mehr arbeiten muss, um die gleiche Schubkraft zu erzeugen.\n\nKann der Schleppstrahl sowohl im Weltraum als auch in der Atmosph\u00e4re eingesetzt werden?\nJa, der Traktorstrahl funktioniert sowohl im Weltraum als auch in der Atmosph\u00e4re. Aber wenn die Schwerkraft auf das zu schleppende Objekt einwirkt, kann es sein, dass das Seil rei\u00dft oder schwieriger zu handhaben ist.\n\nMuss sich ein Schiff oder Fahrzeug im sanften Tod befinden, um abgeschleppt zu werden?\nNein, solange das Schiff keine aktiven Schilde hat, kannst du versuchen, es abzuschleppen.\n\nKann der Abschleppbalken auch \"r\u00fcckw\u00e4rts\" benutzt werden? Zum Beispiel, wenn ein gr\u00f6\u00dferes Schiff ein au\u00dfer Gefecht gesetztes SRV abschleppt, das noch schleppf\u00e4hig ist?\nJa, das ist m\u00f6glich, aber das Schiff, an dem der Abschleppbalken befestigt ist, muss sehr vorsichtig fliegen.\n\nWie gro\u00df ist die effektive Reichweite des Schleppstrahls?\nMomentan betr\u00e4gt die maximale Entfernung, die du mit einem Schiff anvisieren kannst, 300 m und die maximale St\u00e4rke 125 m - die maximale St\u00e4rke ist die Entfernung, die der Schleppbalken versucht, das Schiff im Schleppmodus zu erreichen. Diese Werte sind jedoch ausgleichend und k\u00f6nnen sich daher noch \u00e4ndern.\n\nWas hindert ein SRV daran, ein anderes Fahrzeug mit seinem Strahl zu stehlen?\nWenn das Zielschiff seine Schilde aktiviert hat, kann der SRV es nicht abschleppen. Wenn du also sichergehen willst, dass dein Fahrzeug nicht geklaut werden kann, musst du es mit aktivierten Schilden fahren lassen.\n\nIst der Traktorarm speziell f\u00fcr den SRV oder kann er mit einem anderen f\u00e4higen Schiff ausgetauscht werden?\nDer SRV verwendet einen ma\u00dfgeschneiderten Traktorstrahl, der nur beim SRV zum Einsatz kommt.\n\nBeeinflusst die Aktivierung des Schleppstrahls deine Signaturwerte?\nJa. Da der Schleppstrahl Energie verbraucht, erzeugt dein Schiff mehr Signatur.\n\nVerf\u00fcgt das SRV \u00fcber Waffenst\u00e4nder oder pers\u00f6nlichen Stauraum?\nDas SRV verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber einen Waffentr\u00e4ger, in dem du und deine Passagiere ihre Ausr\u00fcstung verstauen k\u00f6nnen. Au\u00dferdem verf\u00fcgt er \u00fcber einen Anzugschrank und ein pers\u00f6nliches Fach f\u00fcr den Piloten.","zh_CN":"Argo SRV\nQ&A\nNow that the SRV has been added to the \u2018verse, we asked the vehicle and gameplay teams a few questions about Argo's new towing ship, as well as a refresh on some of the questions from our previous Q&A.
