Summary0020028: Tractor beam units can snag cloaked units
DescriptionFunny though. Taking them to a tachyon unit is like filtering a bag of rubbish for what you want.

I don't really have a problem with this behaviour. Why shouldn't tractor beams be able to stop cloaked units?

Simply because you can't see it. You can't target cloaked ships with anything, so it feels weird for tractor units to target them. Them having a limited number of beams (and units they can pull) says to me at least they target them, instead of indiscriminately pulling everything.

Thanks!

* Tractor fields can no longer grab cloaked units. They're considered more of an active ability, whereas gravity fields still slow anything in range.
** If something is already tractored and then cloaks, it will probably stay tractored.
