Range is definitly the problem for wp's. I agree wp's should have increased range with the various mounts, but a good point was would this elimiate bases? (my opinion), I don't think so. There are a lot of planets where you can only use between 1-4 wp's unless you increase cargo on planet. Maybe increase the toughness of the WP's, make them harder to kill. If you put these new massive wp's on planet, this would leave your bases free for extensive PD's or closer type weapons. Or Make the new mounts only effective at extended range and impotent at close range, this would force you to put other type weapons on the wp's as well. Say certain mounts (only for WP'S Have range of say 16-18 but nothing or little effect at say 5-10 or something similiar.

just some ideas mac
