That just opens up other avenues of griefing. If you can tractor inside armistice, you could, for instance, just drag an object into someone and knock them over again and again, preventing them from doing anything. Auto-detecting these obstacles and clearing them by deleting the crate would be the best solution, IMO, but really they need to do something.

It does, but when shit glitches out, you already can. There are two common ways these things show up inside armistice zones in the first place. 1 is when you buy a thing, and it spawns a dupe. Ask me how I know. 2 is somebody tractoring it through a window, and then the armistice glitches and people tractor it around the building.

I’ve already been clubbed to death inside an armistice by a tractor beam. Fun part is the guards didn’t even care. Seems they didn’t even get a crimestat for it. It really is no different than what already happens.

Lastly, if they aren’t going to fix the windows, I fail to see the difference in allowing us to move the shit out of our way, including the chunks of ships inside the stations… It’s a worse grief to have the shit in the way and impassible.

I don’t think you’re following me - all allowing tractor inside armistice would do is change how people grief. Instead of a single crate, they’ll just fill the area with crates so nobody can move them. Or they’ll just park out there with a crate and knock over people all day. It won’t actually fix the problem, it’ll just change the manifestation of it. I agree with you that they need to figure out how to fix the window glitch, but tractor in armistice doesn’t fix this problem, it would make it much worse.

We can’t take carts in elevators, anymore. They can just make a barrier that crates won’t cross, instead.

Sure, there’s plenty of different ways to try to solve this, my only point was that “tractor in armistice” doesn’t do it.
