Tow/capture,

Following scenario:

Fuelless gorbie sitting inside several web mines. I have no ships that
can reach it quickly, except for a captured borg probe. Single engine
ships tow is NO. Can I still jump to the fuelless gorbie, lock a tow
beam on it and capture it? I know I can't tow it, but can I still
capture it?

Ciao

No. You capture it by towing it. That means you must have mission
Tow. Host will notice that you are not allowed to tow so it will clear
your mission. Hence no tow-capture.
