The range of a Battleship's cannons has a range plenty longer than 2k...I think it's 3.5.
And I disagree with all of you! Think outside the box! What we SHOULD do? Increase the Cruise time for capital ships. Gunboats should be seven seconds, which gives the fighter plenty of a head start, Destroyers and Cruisers should be eight-and-a-half, and Battleships should be ten. If a fighter pilot can't get away in that time than there's a real problem with his flight instructor, if he bothered with one...
And if those numbers don't float your boat, then increase them! It's flexible! If you don't want to be chased down by a Gunboat, a space superiority ship designed primarily for killing fighters and bombers, then make it a logistical problem, not a rule freak.
IMHO, Capital Ships are overpopular and underpowered because of it. They get picked apart by three bombers! They wouldn't need to be if we didn't have to see six of them every damn time we jump into New York or Omicron Gamma. Take them away.
