I like the idea. It could be abused. One very long range weapon could mixed with short range weapons to give a false appearance. Maybe the color could be faded out as the weapons drop out of range?

A single long range weapon in among a lot of short ones would of course change the on-screen radius but it's still only a guide - you the user could always elect to use the normal way to display the enemy's ships and judge that way.

SJ, I play in 800x600. I don't have that much screen real-estate.. so what you pointed out doesn't show up.

derb, WarDad, The way I see it implemented we would be able to select the ships we wanted to display weapons ranges. As I think of this, it woudl require major additional code. Perhaps in SE V? We can dream.
