It could work as a hybrid between tractor beams and webifiers. I like it.


I think the biggest problem, however, is the general design impression that ships should have a defense against brawlers. Every kite ship has a way to fend off brawlers. I thought buddies were supposed to be your brawler defense, but that doesn't seem to be the case. We have groups of ten battleships in incursion Vanguard sites that, with the use of 2-3 webs and painters, are able to hit interceptor NPCs for full damage with large turrets. These NPCs phenomenally outpower player ships and yet they are absolutely torn apart by these battleships, and those are the easy sites. The mere fact that this is not only possible but actually easy lies at the heart of the problem, I think.
