Having seen startrek in my time they're always getting grabbed by peoples tractor beams and pulled in to their doom. So when I initially started playing this game I assumed tractor beams would do the same, but to no avail. SOOOOO, what about a tactical tractor beam? Give it the same range as a scram or something and only allow the ship with more thrust to be the puller. Maybe make it so that if someone's webbed the tractor beam can be used on your own team to speed them up a little... or, alternatively, web your own team mate to anchor him down so he can pull in a heavier ship. That and multiple small ships could pull someone off a station or gate or maybe just latch on and get dragged along and not require a propulsion mod so long as they can get that initial proximity and latch on. Endless possibilities.
