Tractor Beams: can they pull you in, then slingshot you out the other way?

The subject says it all: can tractor beams pull you in, then throw you out behind the pulling ship (now acting like a repulsor beam)?

Also, If an Escourt tractors a Baseship, will the Escourt be pulled closer to the Baseship (with the Baseship remaining in the same combat square)?

If these questions have already been answered, please direct me to the proper thread. My search of this forum for, "effect of tractor beam", did not find any answers. Thanks.

Sorry, the tractor and repulsor beams will target any size ship, but if the kt of the attacker is smaller, the weapon has no affect.

I pretty much reserve them for Battle Station, Starbase or Baseship hulls, to insure they work against most opponents. I don't make their research a priority anyways.
