Yes, it is, actually. I've modded the organic "Plasma Bolt" to do more damage in the mid-range and less at each end. The main race that uses it, the Urak Tal, are quite formidable in combat with it. Their ships stay out away from enemy ships trying to keep them in that max damage range. Since most other ranged weapon do less damage at range and more close up, this makes them uniquely effective in combat.
