I agree, but on the other hand. In the vastness of space there is litte resistance, so litte kinetic energy is lost to friction. So only weapons based on the transfer of heat (plasma) are at a disadvantage. Maybe weapons based on gamma radiation (ion, particle, molecular) are a bit weaker too because of the background radiation. But essentially weapondamage won't deteriorate at all. But because I like making forumlae and useless equations, I invented damagedeterioration for the B5 Mod. Taadaa!

I like to see it is an abstraction representing the difficulty of hitting a critical part of the ship at long ranges. Think of it as less critical damage being done, not really less damage overall.
