I am sorry but we (mostly me) are experimenting with max LOS and weapon ranges. ER PPC and Large ER laser do have longer ranges but can not fire without LOS. Next release will be with longer LOS. LRMs can fire without LOS and can fire at their max range, therefore LRM range will be decreased.
Minimal ranges will be back.
Consider every release as an experiment to see what is good and what is bad, to make right decisions and right adjustments in the future.
It is not the same when I test and even people from our little group test. I may like something and the others may like different things. We usually disagree.
In the public release you can see what most people like and what they dont like.
I dont care about rule books or TROs. The most important is gameplay and we need to experiment.
Thank you all for playing, testing and posting here.
