Default What does "optimum range" mean?
Do direct fire weapons get more accurate the closer you are? If so, my ideal range for a DF ship would be just outside the enemy's range if possible. If I couldn't out-range him then ideal range would be point blank. Is this what happens with "optimal" range? Is there any way to engineer this?

How is "optimal" range calculated?
(my full copy should arrive in a couple of weeks and the answers may be in there but meanwhile I have a PBEM demo game to win!)
