help tractorbeam 'tractor beams' tractor
 
Level 35 Piloting Skill
Syntax: tractorbeam <ship> capture <bay #>
        tractorbeam <ship> halt
        tractorbeam <ship> cargo
        tractorbeam <cargo pod>
        tractorbeam <ev suit> (only on rescue ships)
  
This skill gives a player the ability to manipulate the ship's controls so that
its tractor-beams can be used affect other objects in space. A skilled operator
may use the tractor-beams to draw in a ship into the hangar, alter its course
and speed, and capture cargo pods. The higher the percentage of this skill, the
better the chance of its success.

Use the cargo argument to force a disabled freighter to jettison all of its
cargo.
