Can anyone think of any particular case where it would make a difference whether transporter activity or tractor activity occurred first during the Other Functions Phase of an Impulse?

Off the top of my head, I can't.

Yes I can think of a case. If someone conducts hit and run raids and gets the targets last tractor beam than they can not fight a tractor attempt (or is that in SFB only). There for it matters which comes first.

oops, my bad thought that was the case. Have to make sure doing that right in the future. Than as to the question asked I can not think of a reason as to which comes first tractor or transporter...

What about a hit-&-run on a tractor holding a drone??

Well, if a ship has grabbed me in a tractor for a Gorn Anchor, a successful H&R raid on the specific tractor being used to tractor me will break the tractor. So it could make a difference.

The reason I posed this question was because I was making out a little chart of all the possible activities that occur during a Turn and noticed that the sequence of play cards that came in Orion Attack have the transporter-tractor sequence reversed from what it is in the rules.
