Does anyone have any good Tractor Beam + swarm lists?

Either you remove the tractor beam stuff or you count on the tractor beam and remove the upgrades on the Z95s. Would try to have at least 4 Z95 in your squad.
If you're going Scum then Quad jumpers are your go to. They get to apply Tractor tokens without giving up their shots.
Here's one I was looking at just yesterday.
Ryad (34)
TIE/D title (0)
Tractor Beam (1)
Twin Ion Engine (1)
Push the Limit (3)
Total 39
TIE Black w/Crack Shot (15) x 4
Total 60
99 Points
You can basically flavor Ryad to taste, but I believe she (or a Glaive) is about the cheapest Tractor Beam delivery system for Imperials.
You could also use Vessery and the same Defender build and come in at 100 points.

Which becomes a very expensive Vessery who does nothing, considering the fact that no other ship in the squad can take target locks ![]()
I'd go with Predator Maarek, or PTL Ryad if you want a Tractor beam platform, as well as a swarm. Maarek means that a ship with no shields needs to save tokens for his primary weapon. Which means they almost always get tractored.
The imperial list I ran with Tractor was similar to Kevin's
Maarek Stele (36)
Adaptability 0
Tractor Beam 1
TIE/Defender 0
Howlrunner (19)
Crack Shot 1
Black Squadron Pilot (15) x3
Crack Shot 1
Usually a swarm refers to 6 or more ships, less is like something plus mini-swarm.
6 Academys 72
1 x OGP Shuttle w tractor beam, electronic baffle, gunner 28
Here's an all generic one with a Tie/D. It's got a lot of guns but not a ton of punch unless the tractor beam hits. But hopefully having all those ships will get you some easy blocks and set up a good tractor beam shot to make the Fighters bite harder. The good thing about this list is that it makes your opponent want to destroy the Defender, which is the beefiest ship in the list, so the Fighters should be able to get many shots in. Obviously has a lot of weaknesses though.

This still has 3 points to use however you wish.
I've flown the Tractor B's. When they win, it's a slaughter. (When! Lol). I haven't flown the second list, yet. Put it together for this post.
