Space Stations--Pros/Cons

[Fionn]

That's a good idea. Not only does it balance things a bit, but it is also easy to believe a fixed and stable firing platform would have a longer effective range compared to something that is on the move.

Another option might be to increase the range for the larger weaponry mounts. That'd give the same advantage to larger ships as it would to stations of the same size, but it'd still add an advantage over the smaller varieties.

I realize it would require a lot of work to retro-fit into the current system, so this'd be something for the wish list, but an opportunity fire option would also be nice. Just hold your fire and wait, and bLast 'em when they come dancing into range! :-)
