maximum weapons Range

[rdouglass]

Also, if you're not aware of them, look into mounts. Many mods extend the range as well as the firepower of certain mounts.

A range of 14 definitely is an extended range mount ability. If you're using standard mounts on your ship, by all means, upgrade your mounts to the largest ones possible.

ANd I don't know how much you've played or what mod you're playing, but large colonies or homeworlds with many weapons platforms is not an easy planet to take.
