For moving empty / unpiloted ships and wrecks (of course)
use like a docking laser, you shoot the Core and then the mass of the ships is combined, so if you still have more thrust than mass, you can move the ship. If the Ship your want to pull is too big, then it will not move.
The Idea is more like a trailer hitch than an elastic energy beam, so although there should be a decent gap and the beam would be shown connecting the two, the Trailing Ship would be fixed (like how docked ships are) and would not swing aound when you turn.
This would make Pilots design for Tugging Ships. Essential on Stations and of course for Spawn Maintenance.
At the moment we Bump abandoned ships or /admin commands to remove them, it would be cool to have some equipment for this purpose.
