It's possible you may have obsoleted it so you may want to check that box when you are on the ship design window.

I am pretty sure I have researched them already, they are not listed under the logistics drop-down menu (or anywhere else) in the research tab . But they are not listed in the ships component list in the industry tab either. And if I try to build a ship, it does not show up in the components list by itself (like the geo and grav sensors did).
What is the exact in-game name of this device? Perhaps I am looking for the wrong word.
Where do I find my tractor beams? Any suggestions are welcome.
