I would say no, I like the fact that they are different in not just the way they wage war, but in the way the build their empire aswell.

yes tractor beams will be handy for holding small fighters in place to shoot allowing you pelt them

Tractor as in the beam that picks up floating R. There's no way to make a beam that moves ships as far as I'm aware

oh

yeah like ten blocks radius to make it more of a "be on top off it" thing

Mmmmh... I disagree. I like how unique the Salt are. They actually make you notice the very small amount of C you get when you destroy an enemy ship, wich is always overshadowed by the R you get. I woudn't mind an upgrade to the Cells, they produce very little R for their P cost. If we could pick up R that generation would be fine, but, because we can't, we should be able to produce enough R to compensate for what we can't get.

Keep em the way they are. It makes the big collector such a great thing to unlock, and forces you to farm enemy ships while keeping the cells running. Makes the inital startup a bit slower, but you get a big boost from planting salt cities, which makes the early game pretty easy.

I like how they're unable to collect resources without the block. It's fun to have to go do other things to get C, instead of selling R.

And about this

There is, I'll find out what mod I'm using that makes that happen, then I can tell you so you can ask the developer.



EDIT: Ok, I think I found what mod it is, I think it's "Reassemblers".

This is a super old post, and was made before the May 20th Update that added force to beam weapons. They will be potentially added to the salt in the future
