Fighters are tractor beams

Jim, part of it is affected by whether the strategy says to target seekers and fighters (and drones) or not (assuming there are any to target). If you set those to "no", I think you will not see the ships moving to use PDC's on those types. They will however still use the PDC's on seekers and fighters (and in the upcoming patch, on drones), if/when they move within range.

perhaps a request for the next patch.... Max range is set to the range of the greatest weapon.. Ie. if you have 7, 5, 3 as weapon range... the ship range is 7. The secondary weapons are used as such... secondary weapons. As it should be... When the enemy gets past you big gun... the smaller ones come into play....

Another combat bug....

Why have such fuzzy ranges? How about being able to select a range from 1 to 20?

PDC's on drones.....

Ok so the current work around is to select not to target units or seekers then the max range will work... is this correct and has it been tested to work...
