Does anyone know how the program determines Maximum (or Short) Weapons Range or Optimum Firing Range for ships with mixed weaponry?

Also if ships in the same fleet have different weapons will each ship use it's own calculation for the firing strategy specified? Example: I choose Max Wpns Range strategy and I have two ships in a fleet. One has a CSM 1 (max range 8) and one has a DUC 1 (max range 2). Will each ship seek it's own max firing range?

I find it impossible to answer these questions by watching the pixels flitter around for a few seconds on the screen in Strategic Combat. As posted elsewhere, it would be great if Strategic Combat somehow used the tactical screen for showing the combat or at least had better resolution than 1 pixel per ship.
