Riots' range
« on: August 17, 2014, 03:15:09 am »
Riot Starships' main weapons' range really should be made longer than the range of their Tractor Beam. Otherwise the Riots will chase the ships in their tractor beams.. it's like cat chasing it's own tail. Unless I constantly micro the Riots they will end up on the edge of the gravity well and be separated from the rest of the fleet. That's a problem.

Riots' main weapons' range is 6000 and the Tractors' range is 4400 but as you can see the Tractored AI Ship is much further than that. Tractors' range seems to be more like 8000.

Odd that the tractors are engaging from so much beyond their listed range, will take a look.

Oooh crap! That planet has a Radar Jammer.. didn't notice that..
..but wouldn't it also reduce the range of the Tractor Beam?
EDIT: Yeah never mind I guess :)

Tractor beams and most (possibly all) non-weapon effects don't pay any attention to radar jammers, actually.

Anyway, yea, sounds like an unexpected interaction with the weapon ranges, etc.
