The Devastator needed to disable the Tantive 4 with a blast in order to pull it in, and that was in persuit, with that in mind would a tractor beam be that effective in capturing vessels accelerating towards them when they were almost static?

Also remember the scenes that follow with the pursuit of the Falcon...

If anything, in my opinion, it would be easier as they're moving towards them, and could therefore use their momentum to pull them in easier. No?

Dunno Radi0n, but if you imagine it as magnetism, you are pursuing a vessel and matching it's speed but the magnetic device you have to capture it, cannot slow the vessel enough to trawl it onboard, so you need to disable its engines.

Now do you think the device would be able to capture vessels which would be travelling at an enormous speed, considering your ship is static....seems harder this way.
