they cast tractor beam to freeze me almost chain-cast effect, it is too excessive, my counter act has longer cool downs, no way to finish or able to kill one at a time, they were running like tag team "going around the wagons"and often shut down my impulse drive and shield, and kept themselves way out of viewing mode.
it is insane to move mouse trying to see and lock on, they wiped out thaloin fleet.
was this suppose to be solo? or required some fleetmate to assist? or i am too early for that task? i just got it after Nimbus questline.
ship i just got was Chimera class heavy destroyer, it was my agent of yesterday captian, currently at 49th level due to bonus xp.
i see lot of tractor beams and loads of torps, not sure if it was cannons, but it look like it.
it is conclusion of "27th century" where the battle between Vorgons and Thaolians where Kal Dano took off.
suggestion on what way to beat? get some help?

Attack Pattern Omega is also good for dealing with tractors.

Evasive Maneuvers (and this can be buffed with Pilot secondary specialization to give immunity to hold = second polarize hull)
These might help, never tried it:
Attack Pattern Omega
Engine battery / capacitor
Vorgon Conclusion is easily solo-able. It just so happens that in your situation you got hit with 4 tractor beams at the same time. One way to avoid tractor beams is to stay at least 5km from a mine / ship which has that ability.
1. Evasive maneuvers. Even without the buff to holds, this will speed you up enough to get out of 5KM range quickly.
2. Polarized Hull. Tractor beams slide right off and it gives a great resistance buff to boot. As good as brace for impact, I believe.
3. AP:Omega I, II, III. Not every captain can have this one loaded, but it's worth having if you have a Tac Boff with room to spare.
4. Tractor Beam Repulsors. These will do in a pinch, but they are random and if you have more than just the 4 ships within range, you may not solve the problem, just lessen it.
5. Miracle Worker. This is an Engineering skill and while it doesn't counter controls, it does immediately give a boost to Shields and Hulls, which in turn absorbs the incoming damage of energy and torps long enough to outlive the sudden burst of incoming damage and get away.
Personally, I always have PH or AP:O on my ships and use EM should they be on cooldown. On my escorts, I have both, because I tend to find myself in that 5KM range during cannon passes more often than I would in a cruiser where I can circle and more easily maintain >5KM range, keeping MW for those suddenly bad moments.
tractor beam repluser? i may have to look that up.
list that i have.
Evasive, Omega (forgot which tier), Miracle worker, and this AoY captain is an engineer.
will check if i have
Jam target, polarized hull, and some consoles for resists.
what else i missed?
That's basically it.
Also, anything that stuns or knocks back a target will also disrupt a tractor beam. Photonic Shockwave also does this.
Using Rock n Roll requires no reason...it's a fun move to use just because.
Pressing the TAB key will cycle through available targets even if you cannot see them

Maybe drop a GW, fly towards the GW, then hit AMS?

Best advice is make sure you always have at least one tractor beam counter whether hard or soft on your power tray.
double check your options. sometimes the UI will slip you into Free camera select follow target and the POV will slew automatically to whatever you have targeted
Lol I hear that!

I prefer Chase Camera, and it's really disorienting when I turn my ship and the screen doesn't follow it....

But the suggestions suggested above should do the trick.
I guess one of the advantages on using Gravity Well on almost every ship is that this becomes a lot less of a problem if your enemy is clumped togheter at range and has no chance of getting closer unless you want to.
I generally wait until multiple threats are within 2km if my hull can take it before I pulse.
found beam repulser, it is bridge officer skill, i think if i remember it is science officer.
thank for that skills, never heard until you guys mentioned, bought 4 of those for my bridge crew on my main and for this recently made AoY fed engineer, he only 49 levels, and some consoles are mark 11 and some M12, cant afford console upgrades for Chimera class.
2 seconds to kill? i think i am badly undergeared, and dont have any "reps" unlocked, Que for azure or regular crystal entitiy seem dead and very long wait to get groups since this upgrades need more than 750 mark tokens and items from rep boxes are bounded to character, wish the devs find more ways for players to do solo rep missions to earn marks.
my main cant help my alts with that.
my AoY is too new for R&D, and not much materials, and long way to unlock other R&D tasks.
i am still out of town, will try when i get home.
