Activate Tractor Beam
by Kathy McCracken

Ever wondered just what you could do with that Tractor Beam, aside from removing inconvenient Radioactive Garbage Scows or loading and launching shuttlecraft? Now you can actually tow a ship with it. Perhaps you have a ship with its RANGE reduced so far by Baryon Buildups that you can't get it past a high-span mission to get home, and you're out of Kevin Uxbridges. Activate your other ship's tractor beam and tow it past the pesky mission. Maybe your opponent has sent his entire Away Team down to a planet and got "stopped" in his mission attempt. Tow his ship away and leave them stranded. If you don't happen to have a ship with a Tractor Beam handy, no problem--play one of these to add the Tractor Beam, and another to tow a ship with it.

Combo:
Activate Tractor Beam + any ship: Tow away that Garbage Scow with a lowly shuttlecraft, as long as you have two ENGINEER aboard.

Activate Tractor Beam + ship "stopped" by battle + unstopped ship: Tow the "stopped" ship to another location to prevent your opponent from counter-attacking on his turn.
