Yes, Virginia, you can tractor beam PLANETS in this manner. Or Repulser Beam them right off the map.
Oh well, blows that idea! It would be just plain wrong to have a fighter 'grab' a capital ship out of its formation

The planets thing definitely looks like a bug to me though

Edit: Now I think about it this could be quite neat. Make version of the grappler with high supply/ordinance cost & some coventional damage, called a 'Localized Singularity Generator' or some such name. Great for delaying those pesky enemy capital ships!
