- Tractor (T) beams act only on ghostships and are the sole means of
- docking with them and transferring their energy and torps (if any)
- to the ENTERPRISE. Your shields must be down when docking or a
- collision will result. Since the energy required to bring in the
- ghostship is calculated automatically, be careful of trying to dock
- with distant ghostships as the amount of energy required varies as
- the square of the distance. For example, 100 units of energy will
- be required at a distance of 2 parsecs, but 1600 will be required
- at a distance of 8 parsecs. A 22 command can tell you how much
- energy exactly it will take to pull in a ghostship.
- Repulsor (R) beams act only on the Klingon you specify and will push
- it away along the line between you and it.
