1 - In the section on using tractor beams for defensive fire (KR25), no range is specifically mentioned, however the discussion is about defensive fire against fighter flights, which make their attacks from range 0 (seekers) or 1 (true fighters). Since Hydran Stingers can attack from up to range 3, can tractor beams be used defensively against them at up to range 3, or only at range 1?

2 - Also, can Stingers HET? In the SFU, they can HET once per turn for free. In Starmada, they are considered shuttles, which can't HET.  I'm unsure of how to handle this.
