Proportions mod 1.5 released

[PvK]

Oh, are seekers at max range vs. planets still not fixed in 1.60? I thought MM finally got that one. Let me check... looks to me like ships with range 8 missiles set to Max Range strategy are actually closing to range 5 of the planet, which is close enough from any direction.

The idea for self-defense cannon are as the description says, to protect the ship itself from seekers. As opposed to PD cannon, which protect everything nearby from both seekers and fighters. The idea of using SD cannon to protect planets with WP's is very good, because the range from a planet is one square from the surface, which surrounds the whole planet.

They are also good for ships that you want to protect only themselves. Also, since in Proportions, fighters are not always nailed by PD cannon, this helps avoid having all your ships taking pot shots at fighters instead of protecting themselves from missile salvoes.

Nonetheless, I think the suggestion that they should be smaller is probably very good.
Especially if I tweak their to-hit down a little more...
