Title: Tractor Beams
Post by: TheRowan on August 08, 2013, 06:16:51 PM

I'm just starting to play with Tractor Beams, and I had a couple of questions about how they can be used:

1.  Can 2 ships with Tractor Beams be used to tow the same object?

2.  Can a ship without an engine use a tractor beam to be towed along by a ship with an engine (but no tractor beam)?

3.  If both the tug and tow have operational engines, are both ship's EPH taken into account in determining speed?

No
Yes
Yes. You can't turn off high fuel use engines sadly, and the tug won't work if either ship has no fuel.
