why would you need to drag something only 4 squares away closer ?
i want something that can bring things in from 20 squares away
ok going a bit over board there but you get the point
What if you are using Ripper Beams with a range of 3 like my close combat class of DNs? In fact if you have two opposing ships each beefed up with over 100% defensive bonus (ECM, stealth/scattering armour, racial points...), that two or three squares in range makes a hugh difference in weapon accuracy.
By the way, a normal mount tractor beam operates exactly like a massive mount one, so you can forget about anything over a normal mount. That 20kt of space for the tractor combined with a 40kt heavy mount repulser beam (on my DN) is quite well spent in my opinion.
