Are BFCs with range under 10k km usable for point defense task? Or should I go for 10k km minimum?
-
They are usable for final fire defenses, but rarely for area defense.
-
Final fire defense has a minimum attack range of 10k, and won't use any to-hit at ranges less than that. So if your BFC is 50% to-hit at 10k, that's your base hit chance. Generally speaking, I'd suggest a 20k 50% range for a BFC as a bare minimum under any circumstances. That's a 75% chance to hit at 10k.

Thanks. But now, if I am reading you right, which opinion do I pick...
"Yes, those short range BFC work even under 10k km max range."
"No, those short range BFC don't work, you need at least 10k km range even for final defence mode."

It will 'work' you will just have a zero tohit or something xD

I have made few BFCs. The first one with range 10k km exactly seems to really have 0% chance to hit at 10k km while the second one with range of 10880 has 8 % there. I will probably rather go for 40-70k km range to get ~80 % hit chance for my point defence fighters.
