You got ray or particle shields, @Insalius?
It seems a bit weird to me that this is possible at all. Pulling in ships to crash to pieces against your particle shield in the midst of battle seems to me more likely a suicide act. IMHO it'd get through, since particle shields don't seem to be designed for such mass or velocity (since destroying the ship requires a very strong continuous pull) and you're not only damaging your own shields and possible hull, but also draining power away from multiple generators to use the tractor beam and the shields that cannot hold.
I know @Tsunami is too good a sport, so I'm not gonna start a discussion about it here and further cluster the thread. If you think it's a viable tactic and can back it up, please Discord PM me :D
