AI Modding: I have no clue, please help!

[Chronon]

I have another question for everyone. I know that tractor beams are only good for larger ships against smaller ships. But what happens in the following situation?

There are two dreadnoughts in a battle, one has a repulsor, the talisman, and a bunch of APBs (strategy: max range), the other has a tractor and a ton of lightning rays (strategy: point blank). Do the repulsor and tractor cancel? Can the DN with the lightning rays close to point blank? Or is the talisman so powerful that it's pointless to consider a counter-strategy?
