this was up in an armada article today:

Could they implement this in x-wing?

"If a ship has a tractorbeam token it must skip the perform action-step or reduce it's speed by 1 to a minimum of 1"

I wouldnt be the first time there's a slight crossover between the two

Coming in wave 8:

Yeah I know... But we still dont know what Tractorbeam does

speed reduction is tricky, since it could actually help your opponent (white stop maneuver, for example)

then again, 1 point

This is still on the first page:

Ah, missed that one. Thanks!

I like this:

I like this:

Tractor Beam Tokens:

Like an Ion Token, large ships are only affected when they have two tokens. Ships that start the activation phase with a tractor beam token: Must suffer a maneuver difficulty increase by one (Green=White, White=Red, Red cannot be performed). This ship skips it’s perform action phase for this turn then remove any tractor beam tokens on the ship.

That's a cool idea! But too good for 1 pt :/

True! But it does take a cannon slot. So maybe Change it to just the following:

Like an Ion Token, large ships are only affected when they have two tokens. During its next activation phase the ship skips it's action and suffers -1 agility until the end of the turn. Then removes the Tractor Beam token.

Just let me plop a 1-forward template down and move their ship forward or back or sideways after dials are down. It's effective. It's skill-based for both players. It's potentially devastating. And it's simple.

Its 1 point, but it does take an attack and does zero damage. Also, you actually have to hit your opponent.

But we do have two threads about the same thing: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/186983-armada-tractor-beams/
