Tractor Beam Weapon

[Firebird]

I like the idea, but there has to be a way for the fighter to be able to break the lock, and it would need to be difficult to get it in the first place. If it weren't fighters would be obsolete.

Energy drain, Ship Recharge vs the thruster drain would be the key there, would need the weapon such that to hold a ship in place drains energy such that the lock couldn't be maintained when the energy reserve was near 0.

My thinking would be that the tractor hold would be maintained only while constant fire is applied but as soon as the beam sputters (ie losing power) then able to escape by afterburner thrust.

Ya, definitely need ability to escape at some point so that we don't get people being held in place for excessive amounts of time in a taunting/terrorising fashion.
