Ok... here's the data for Large ships, lets start with 2 AGI

Your example:

Rex, attack with Tractor Beam: if it hits: 0 damage, 1 less agi on defender

Rex, attack with main: 3 ATK w/Focus vs. 1 DEF: 1,88 Damage

Vader, attack with Rockets: 5 ATK w/Focus+TL vs 1 DEF: 4,31 Damage

For a total of 6,19 expected damage

My example:

Rex, attack with Ion Cannon: if it hits: 1 damage, target ionized or half ionized if large ship

Rex, attack with main: 3 ATK w/Focus vs. 2 DEF: 1,53 Damage

Vader, attack with Rockets: 5 ATK w/Focus+TL vs 2 DEF: 3,94 Damage

For a total of 6,47 expected damage.

So it's still better for Ships with AGI of 2... Let's see with AGI 1?

Your example:

Rex, attack with Tractor Beam: if it hits: 0 damage, 1 less agi on defender

Rex, attack with main: 3 ATK w/Focus vs. 0 DEF: 2,25 Damage

Vader, attack with Rockets: 5 ATK w/Focus+TL vs 0 DEF: 4,69 Damage

For a total of 6,94 expected damage

My example:

Rex, attack with Ion Cannon: if it hits: 1 damage, target ionized or half ionized if large ship

Rex, attack with main: 3 ATK w/Focus vs. 1 DEF: 1,88 Damage

Vader, attack with Rockets: 5 ATK w/Focus+TL vs 1 DEF: 4,31 Damage

For a total of 7,19 expected damage.

If you still will not believe the maths that the tractor beam is just worse if you don't attack with at 3+ other weapons, then I can't help you anymore, seriously.
