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

no oleg your wrong, as it makes complete sense - in rea world the greater mass attracts the lower mass (think about sun->earth or earth->moon or moon->stones), it is impossible the other way. As for slinging through it is only possible if giving the object at least a short orbit which is impossible due to 2d of the combat and the short time of effect the weapon does.
