I suppose in some ways that you are right Marth. The reason though, for the high damages to your other ships, is that you forgot, or didn't, post OOC damages for your ships in your post, which believe me, would have taken damage when they engaged my fleet. I added that damage to what I did in my post, and that is why they might seem a tad high for the ships involved.
As for the Fire class Light Frigates, at the least, the ships that had been tractored would have substiantail structre, or hull damage in the bows where the tractors were locked on. There would be collisions, but they might not have been as violent as I originally thought.
Let's hear Kas's ruling.
