Yes. 4k range should be fine. Viewing distance should be increased too to, say, 7k?
Well, can viewing distance be added to the mod's activation screen? Some players have old video cards, so increasing it will make their video cards to drop to crappy frame rates.

To make AF weps to miss as a distance, speed is te key. Make them fast enough to hit a fighter effectively at 1-1.5k. But not too fast, so a fighter at 3k is harder to hit, not because accuracy is bad, but because the pilot can have time to evade it.

Ok my idea on anti fighter turrets and BS turrets range wise is the following:

Anti Fighter Turrets

Max range 1.5k
Projectile speed 1400m/s
Exremely fast tracking speeds

This means the AF Weapon is extremely accurate, but useless beyond 1.5k because it doesn't travel that far.


Anti Cap Ship Weapons
Max Range 5k+ (Preferably 6-7k IMO)
Projectile Speed 2,000-3,000MS
High Yield Anti Cap Ship Weapons (Infernos & Razors) Projectile Speeds about 500-1000 points lower. (Liberty forward cannon should get a speed of 5,000/ms
Very Slow Tracking Speeds (So they can track cap ships, but by the time the turret aims at a fighter to fire, the fighter has moved)


What this would do is make the cap ship turrets extremely effective at long & even deadlier at short range versus capital ships.

Anti Fighter Turrets would be equally deadly to fighter craft but completely lack the range of anti cap ship weapons for long range combat. This would give 100% specialised ships the ability to take down one type of craft exceedingly well, or for a lone pilot to equip themselves about equally in both areas to defend themselves moderately versus both targets.


Also for my ideas on cap ship damage view my post in the server room, I'm going to get a link and edit on to this thread.
