What the heck? Why is it I can no longer use multiple tractor beams on the same object? Why are the innocent tractor beams a target for the nerfbat? Why am I asking these questions?
(Note: First time making a 'nerf' post)

You could never use multiple tractor beams on a single object. 
Also what would be the point in doing so?

I thought it was always like that, I member tryin to use 2 tractor beams on one wreck months ago and getting an error saying it was already bein tractor beamed.
Almost certain of it.

I've done it before, so it was possible.
Edit: And it makes the thing get pulled toward you faster.

You crazy kids. Try hitting the F-keys associated with your tractor beams simultaneously. You can easily activate multiple beams on one target, but it doesn't make it move any faster.

exactly - it's always been like that and it only works when you hit two keys at the same time

At least Magistrate understands that my posts are good enough to respond to twice. Not sure what everyone else's problem is.

It's always been one tractor beam per object. At least now they give an error message when you try.
Thanks for trying though.

It can still be done, but it is a bug. You need simply to active the second tractor before the second lock the target. It was never possible to lock a second tractor on a target if the first had already locked.
And in my experience the target isn't tractored faster.

It was possible occasionally if you had both activate in the same instant. It was a bug, and it was not always possible (if you waited just half a second before activating a second beam it gave you the message that it was not possible).
I noticed one out of every hundred or so times, both would activate on the same object, 99% of the time the second one would refuse to activate (and this was in the very first week they were ever introduced, back when they required graviton physics etc).

Oh I see now.
So the only way to get it to work was make sure you hit 2 keys @ the same time but if you hit one right after another it did not work.
I would say you found a bug in the system and used it.
And now are complaining because CCP removed the bug.
