One thing I struggled with the most in the first game was moving off grid blocks without the use of magnets on a crane mechanism. Personally I think tractor beams in SE2 would be a game changer, that being for hand tools and for blocks. Maybe your ship runs out of power and you need a buddy to help move it for you. Thus, the tow truck equipped with the latest advanced tractor beam block is here to help you out. Or you're trying to salvage a ship but there is too many small blocks to move? the tractor beam hand tool is perfect for that. You don't have to worry about being yeeted to oblivion when trying to push the blocks into the grinder to be salvaged.

Tractor beams could also be used for other applications such as moving cargo blocks off ships to places which might not have its own conveyor system. Or for the benefit of it being faster to unload a ship than to dock to the base/station. It could also be used to swap out batteries on ships, making it more effective than having to wait to recharge.

In other words, I believe the tractor beam tool would prove to be a vital part of the game, just like the drill, grinder and welding tools.
