Tractor Beam Disable

I just had a fun thing happen;

Ejected some cargo. Hit "J" to hit jump speed. shortly thereafter, a ship enters my mass lock zone... and my cargo canister shoots into the rear of my ship at ultra high speed, destroying me instantly (WITH shield booster!).

Maybe jumping to "sublight" should cut out the tractor beam?

Yes.
I had similar experiences with the fuel injectors.
(Kind of like the 'spacequest' mine-dragging thing.)

Tractorbeam should fail when difference in speed is above a certain treshold.
Or just stop functioning when injectors or J-speed are used.
