Careful with this. If a large enough defending fleet and attacking fleet fight, you may find that some of the attackers are out of range when they warp in.

Ripper beams are powerful, but only if you can close the range.

The thing with large fleets is, that when they are big enough, they tend to be on the range at the beginning. Especially in the warp point, the starting distance is point blanc. Just yesterday I saw one combat where 100 ship fleet went through warp point and ended up in a place where was over 100 enemyships, planet, and some battle stations. The warping fleet was located in the middle and waiting enemyships were all around the intruder fleet. So, I say that range has not much meaning in the warp point, especially when you have enouhg targets just beside you.
