Heliarch Attractor

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
When battling the Quarg, the Heliarchs learned that the Quarg would not engage in a battle that their ships might be unable to escape. In response, they focused on building weapons that would keep a ship from being able to come to a stop and activate its jump drive.
== Location ==
The Heliarch Attractor cannot be purchased, but it can be found equipped on Heliarch ships.
== Information ==
* The only way to obtain this is by looting it.
* Purchasing this would require a Heliarch License.
* This turret will work by pulling both the firing ship and the target closer together.
== Notes ==
A viable design for a solo ship challenge (i.e. no fleet, just a single ship) would be to use a tough ship with a fair number (4 or more) of turret slots. Put one or two Heliarch Attractors, then fill the rest of the turret slots with the highest-DPS turrets you can find, and field powerful engines; don't bother mounting any forward-facing guns. "Fish" an enemy ship out of a fleet of opponents, "hooking" them with the Attractor, then drag the hooked enemy away from the system center. Far enough away from the system center is the "pursuit border", beyond which opponents will lose interest in your ship and will turn to return to the system center. Often a fleet of enemy ships will leave their "hooked" member in the grasp of your Attractor, while the hooked ship turns away from you (thus unable to bring its forward-facing guns to bear) while you continue to pull it across the pursuit border. Both of you will be unable to use forward-facing guns (since you are both effectively in a tug-of-war across the pursuit border), but you have designed your ship to deal most of its damage via turret, whereas your opponent probably hasn't, so you have an advantage, and because its allies have lost interest in your ship due to your ship being across the pursuit border, this turns battles against fleets into a series of 1v1 battle with your immediate opponent dealing less damage due to being designed primarily for front-facing gun use.
