Default Re: Tractor & Repulser weapons

Well, I know what I would do if tractor and repulser beams worked the way you want. I would put them on ships one size smaller than my enemy was using and would fit them out with a short-range high-damage weapon. Tractor yourself in, fire, repulse yourself out. You don't even need MP. And you thought the missile dance was bad. Would also be great for kamikazes, boarders, drones, and troop transports.

OTOH, bigger ships can do that now, in reverse, to smaller and same-size ships. So it can't be terribly unbalancing. At least, I haven't heard anyone complain. Can anyone think of a reason why this is less unbalancing than the above would be?
