New ship and module.

Get a BC sized ship.


Module: Ship action tractor beam. It pulls a target ship in given direction with a thrust of X (exaclty like an AB or MWD would). Depending on mass of opposing ship that would create an acceleration X' on that direction. Proposed strenght 1 MN

That means a single BC could for example force slowly tractor a cruiser away from a docking range, but to move a carrier you would need like 10 of those.


At same time these modules become interesting movement annoyance devices. You can use them to disturb enemy ships speed tanking, reducing their speed... or even increasing depending on side you are of their movement vector.


These ships could have huge tactical value and would solve a lot of stattion hugger ***otry.

My New ships -

Gas mining ships

Planetary interaction ships(for RTS)
Small for landing raiding parties.
medium for logistical/industrial application
Large for planetary conquest/terraforming/bombardment
Can be sizes inbetween, some space combat ability, put bonus's would all be to planetary interactions.

Bombers for players not just capitals.

ammo ships (will need ammo holds on ships) ability to resupply ammo to fleet battles. maybe some kind of reverse tractor to transfer the ammo.

Disturbance ships, creates debris, fog, mist, smoke........... create confussion on battle field, maybe different effects affect different aspects such as tracking, drones, remote repair so on, think WH anomolies and thier affects.
