Multiplayer gamers out there, need some input

[Phoenix-D]

You need Strategies.

First step (optional)- click the Empire Status button, the crown. In that screen, click on Strategies. Adjust the strategy you want. The default ones are decent, if a little weird sometimes (the backup plan for maximum range is.. point blank. Right.)

After that, go to the ship design screen. Click the stats/strategy button, then click on a ship. Here you can adjust which strategy you want to use. The default for attack ships is Optimal Weapons Range. Change that to Maximum weapons range, and your ships will stay as far away as they can.
