AHA! My excessive lvl of geekdom forced me by habit into tweaking the $^(% out of the files themselves!

OK doesn't change the fact that one of the 1.6 downloads has 8 races and another has 17 or so.

I'd like you to consider changing the range of the PBMs to something reasonable like 10. It does a couple of things first it allows the firing ships to not waste supplies by firing a second salvo at range 20 (if they are set to long range bombardment). Currently they fire a round at range 20 which finally hits the target at turn 25 or so and then they lob a second missile that can't possibly make it to the target before turn 30. This change would also have the effect of forcing a PBM armed Bombardment Ship into closer range making it more vulnerable. Alternatively change the reload time to 30 they won't fire a second round. Right now I've changed the range of PBMs to 10 (simulating direct orders to all ship captains not to fire a PBM beyond this range).

What is the point of plasma weapons? Less damage, pathetic range when compared to a Laser Cannon for the same weight. Uptweak them please. Seems their only purpose right now would be to nerf an AI race that was using them.
