Breaking(slowing) field

Not Enough Votes

I am building a carrier and I would like it to have the ability to slow the smaller vessels down when they come into land, a sort of force field catch net or set of consecutive nets. Each field net decelerating the incoming vehicles a little more, one after the other.

At present the artificial gravity generators do not act upon vessels, and I would like this breaking system to work in natural gravity.

This would offer a higher margin of safety between the vessels, allow for faster landings or deal with vessels that have lost breaking thrust.

I like this feedback

I am sure that a block system that had this feature would have other applications.

Tractor beam?

My thoughts were that this would be similar to the force field hanger door, a 2d plane over a defined area applying a breaking force when passed through.

4Peace - Not necessarily... It would be possible to use the rails and components designed for MAGLEV.

But I also see this as a backdoor for introducing physical nonsense like tractor beams and/or energy shields
