Just under 1 light second?!?! Light travels 1,400,000 km in 5 seconds, that fire control and cannon fires at 2,100,000 km in 5 seconds. That is 140,000 km/s faster than light.
83athom pls if you don't bring attention to it then we won't have beam fire control ranges gutted any further ;-;
As it is already, you're already using tech that is so endgame that most people don't even get to it in their campaigns. Isn't it acceptable enough that the cannon uses some bluespace stuff to reach the target in a timely manner, especially considering how it gets inaccurate near the end of it's range?
I figure that _actual_ issues of concern would be like, ramming attempts quantum tunneling to my ships even though said ships are a few tens of thousands of kilometers away from the one responsible. (though that may have been fixed recently).
As is, I don't see any issues with a specialized PDC using maximum level technology being able to barely skirt past lightspeed with it's beam weapons. We have jump points already, and being able to actually shoot far with our lasers doesn't seem to do much on the balance.
