Anyway to upgrade Tractor Beam for faster cargo pickup?

Trying to find way to speed up tractor beam or add additional beams for faster cargo pickup. I have looked through most of the xml, script and other files, anyone have any suggestions?

you may try in XT-45, and search for the warehouse (to the north, they're marked on the map)
first be sure to have T2-T3 fighters, good weaponery (and not only laser), good shield and major caliber gun.

the cargo bay seems unprotected but be aware once you attack them a full fleet appear from hyperspace.
So to avoid fighting all of them at once (you may loose), you may first move to 300 ticks from them (to the east or west is the best) and launch a long range missile attack to summon the escort. An then suppress the escort one by one, they may be 2-3 butchers, so engage them with the mothership (and its major caliber guns), your figthers will engage ennemie fighters, once you have destroyed the escort destroy the cargo bay you've previously attacked but don't gather the loot or you will destroy the half 'cause of collisions. Redo that until you've destroyed all cargo bay and debris then gather.
It is wise to save before each attack to avoid to loose or loose fighters.
Also there is a maintenance station in that system if your mothership need reparations.
but the reward is great, from the cargo bays you will get for about 5millions credits stuff (that you can keep or resell) and from the destroyed escort you will get very good weaponery.

usually i do that before getting in the precursor system to have a fulll missile squad equipped with "nova" to easily destroy the alien frigate.
and each faction have his warehouse so u can keep peace with triades
in xt 20 near xt-45 you ca restore your reputation (i mean change your id).
