ThinderI don't need to lase a target at 1500m, and with experience I can tell that there is no drop to zero passed 1500m, I start lasing at max range (2100m) and can see the results on the targets shields, most probably because they are modified to OVERCHARGED and OVERSIZED.
Ahh, you have grade 3 beams, I was quoting grade 5 stats. I can see the value in only upgrading them to a range where you want to work at.
ThinderI'm using FIXED Lasers, just saying.
That's another important factor, I use gimbled. Closer is better for fixed, and that being the situation I can see why you'd want to work with Short Range mod. It's not my preference but I can see the logic you are going with.
