Ok, so ive got a yz-775 freighter in my campaign. I want to replace one of the rear turbolaser cannons with a tractor beam so they can drag in their captured vessels unharded and hold them in place while boarding.

Any idea what one looks like? are they similar looking too laser/turbolaser emplacements? like do they have a big long gun barrel?

Im kind of hoping they do so i dont have to redraw anything in the ship, plus it keeps it looking nice and symmetrical haha

here is the ship

The emplacements around the hangerbay of a ISD look pointy like gun emplacements, also i found a pic on starwars wiki that showed a smaller tractor beam generator that looked like a eweb ...any thoughts on those?

I cant find a picture of a ship scaled tractor beam, but the following page has a picture of a battle droid using a smaller one. Hope that helps.
