Ship-based rescue for the winch!

A grappler would be cool.
I am not a fan of tractor beams in ED.

Or perhaps we could order a few droids to lift someone out of a ravine.

winches on the scarab would be cool....wasted on the ship, and no tractor beam, we have limpets for that.....

winches on the scarab would be cool....wasted on the ship

It would make quite awesome retrieval scenes on ships though, especially if that would work in multicrew.

If I was the rescuer, I woulda got back in my ship, flew over the pit, deployed PAC hardpoints... and say "Darwinism Euthanasia mechanism standing by.. on your mark"

Yeah right. It is kinda stupid you can end up somewhere with no way to escape and there are far too many places like that on the planets. I ended up many times in SRV having no other way out than self-destruct.

The Anaconda already has some sort of fancy lookin grapples and harpoons on the front. Gimme em!

Seriously though, cool video. We really need a way to help friends out. The fact that our ships can't lift an SRV out of a terrible spot is not realistic...when we are using ships that already have the ability to carry SRVs.
