If you set it up like you said, you'd get the opposite problem- a ship armed with, say, Ripper Beams would stay at PDC range. Blag.

But that's apples and oranges -- RBs are not a long-range weapon, so if your ship mainly had RBs you wouldn't set the strategy to MaxRange. However, if the ship was mainly intended to be a PDC ship and the RB was just to provide some last-ditch defense against close-in enemies, then you might choose MaxRange strategy, and then the behavior you describe would be exactly what you want.
