In OP is there a way to tractor more than one ship at a time?

simple answer.. no...

I do wish that you could do that in OP.. it was nice tractoring your fighter group, which you set to attack the enemy, and let them tow your ship to the enemy thus allowing you to keep your engine power down and overload your weapons for the first run.. I miss that tactic.. plus it gave you sort of omnidirectional turrents added to your ship that way...

I dunno, when your opponent has a shuttle towing a Starbase toward you, you might change you mind

As pest said, you cannot tractor more than one ship.

Consequently, one cannot be tractored by more than one ship either. (the ship with the strongest tractor power will engage. Time is a tie-breaker.)

So I am remembering that you could do it in a previous incarnation? I too was thinking about the "omnidirectional turrets".
