I don't get to correct you often but you can't put tractor beams/repulsor beams on a platform (unless there is some mod I don't play).
I'm probably one of the few who like repulsor beams. I like them in a fleet where I suspect I might get outnumbered. On a big ship, though the range is small, I can push ships (lots of times) to the edge (or even out of range) of the battle and not be swarmed by ships. This gives me time to handle a smaller group of ships...kind of like a juggling act. Especially nice on baseships (pushing 20 away). Just remember the ships size matters when using them.
