Leaving Orbit (A contradiction of canon rules)

[Judas Iscariot]

Aside from the fact that a ship would probably not need a tug, It is a good idea, as it would probably be cheaper to use the tug than to spend all of the fuel needed to break free on your own...

Would depend upon the G of the world and the ship in question...

Tow cables are no problem... We already have cables that are strong enough to tow junk to orbit... We just have nothing that is capable of doing the towing yet... Plenty of stuff to tow.. No tug... Pity...

Agreed, but cables are so... mundane, unscifiy.

Tractor beams (or fields or whatever) are cool
