[Atrocities]

I kinda figured it was a range weapon first issue. It makes sense.

Then why don't aggressiveness and defensiveness bonues play into this? If the Torp fleet race has no bonues, and the PPB fleet race has 120% for both and each fleet has EMC, Multi, Combat sensors, and are equally trianed at 20% then why does it always win? Just comes down to range?

Forgive me for saying this, but that couldn't be right, for if it was, then those bonuses mean jack, just design a ship with greater range than your opponent early on and sit back and watch his fleet burn in space.
