A question of range.....

[Ed Kolis]

Depends on whether you consider mounted or unmounted, seekers or direct fire, and it also depends on the mod's intent and its propulsion system. For instance, in stock I don't think the Wave Motion Gun even goes out beyond range 8 or 10 or so (unmounted), but weapons are allowed to go up to range 20.

I guess a general idea might be:
1-4: short
5-8: medium
9-20: long

But then, if ships are slow in your mod, you might want to adjust the ranges downward; if they are fast, you might want to adjust them upward.
