Space Stations--Pros/Cons

[General Hawkwing]

One way to work around the immobility of space stations would be to allow them a greater range of fire than ships for the same weapon. That would eliminate the ability of ships to move in to fire and then move out of range during one combat turn. The current system allows (early game example) and escort armed with meson II to defeat a space station armed with meson II without getting a scratch.
