I've tried to use them in both SE3 and 4 by loading up destroyers and such with them, trying to make some kind of fast attack ship, and it's never worked.
You definitely need a tractor beam for them to be effective. The longer the range the better.

In SE3, they were useless on offence, but kicked *** on defence.
As the defender, you got to move just before the firing stage, so you could catch up and rip em a new one before they could evade.
