Alrighty Hale, Dem and I were talking and a point was brought up about when a tractor beams UCR loss takes effect. As using TBs to destroy a ships UCR is an effective tactic that Dem just demonstrated, and both of us are unsure but both agree it should be immediate. Like if you can lock a ship on your post, its UCR is 1 on your post.
As its not covered at all in the rules, maybe we could add it, or perhaps have a discussion on the matter. Personally, like I said, I like it. I think it adds an entire new level of strategy to the game for the big ships to deal with the smaller ships running circles around them.
Edit: Err.. actually, now after going and actually looking at the rule I see it is covered. So I guess me and Dem are saying... perhaps it should be changed?
I guess the issue we are having comes into play as do tractor beams stop a non-disabled ship from being able to move. However I distinctly remember having this conversation and bringing up a massive physics lecture in mass, kinetic energy, and momentum, as well as threatened to use it as a weapon to destroy ships if we got into details of what happens when 2 opposing vessels pull on a tractor lock, and thats why it was left out. You can move me into a different grid space, but you cant stop me from moving back, only entering HS.
