Default Re: Exactly how Far:Repulse weapon
On a related note, I put a large-mount tractor beam on one of my ships, and then realized something. The distance I can pull a ship is greater than the range! IOW, the Tractor 3 has a range of 4 (IIRC), and with a large mount, the damage is 8! Fortunately, the game corrects for this and the ship is only pulled to range 1. But still, it's probably a waste to use the various ship mounts on a tractor beam. Since base mounts get range advantages, they can take full advantage of the larger-mount tractor beams.
