    I recall those working once on Enterprise, but I can’t remember the context… maybe I’m misremembering and it never worked?

      They had grappling hooks on Enterprise. The Vulcans had a tractor beam though.

        Yeah, my comment was about the grappling hooks. They weren’t very reliable either.

        I’m sure the tractor bean on TNG worked way more often. And I don’t remember what they had on TOS.

          Once they grappled onto a ship’s nacelles and disabled them using brute force.

          Physical attacks can work pretty good sometimes.
