Summary0023397: Add a long-range starter fleet making use of tractor-beam type vessels & sniper type vessels
DescriptionProbably the only significant hole left in the starting fleets is a lack of fleet that even contains Snipers, tackle drones, and their variations. There is definitely room to make a starting fleet for them, and will address the issue that it takes significant time to even figure out what synergizes with tractor-type ships. Only the Consumer fleet has a sniper ship, and no fleet contains any tractor-types.

I confess to not even knowing enough about the various tractor types to propose a fleet composition, which, I think, only highlights the issue.

From memory, the tractor units in terms of Strikecraft/Frigates in vanilla are:

Etherjet (<-- not usable by players, removed by Chris long ago in Fleets due to being a micro reliant unit to use).
Pulsar Punk
Persuader Parasite
Suppressor Frigate
Tackle Drone Launcher Frigate (DLC1)

Units that synergise with Tractors directly (due to countering units immune):

Ablative Gatling
Ablative Troll
Agravic Pod
Aggressor

For anyone who wants to do this.

Tackle Drones are such great fun, I'd certainly enjoy playing something like this.

Also, I'll throw the idea that having a cloaked war-factory to go with the cloaked carrier would be nice too.
