on a whim i grabbed a legion for my wormhole activities. Why? I can swap in the stealth subsystem to warp cloaked, and its a good c1-c4 site runner with a low sig radius.

But my max targetting range is 10k

My C4 home has -34% targeting range, so i calc my normal range is 13.4k. Huh?

I did get liquid crystal offense subsystem, which gives 5% range per level. Its at one, 18m to 2, but at 5 ill still have max range 16.75k.

So im using the subsystem specifically designed to increase max range, but I max at 16.75k?

What am I doing wrong here?

My fit:

High: 5xHvy Anode Pulse Particle Stream, 1 probe launcher
Med: 10mn Ab II, webber, cap battery II, cap recharge II
Low: EANMx2, heat sinkx2, medium armor rep II, Damage Control II

Rigs: Medium Aux Nanopumpx2, Medium Nanobot Accelerator (T1)

Subsystems: Chassis optimization, Liquid Crystal Magnifiers, Power Core Multiplier, Augmented Plating, Dissolution Sequencer

Forgetting my wormholes -34% targetting, even in a normal wormhole this range is awful even tho i have the range subsystem. Am I doing something wrong? do i need 3 range mods in the lows? Help! I want to love this ship.

BTW its not awful, in a normal system with offense subsystem trained to V I get 17k range, my max weapon range is 23k, but 7k is alot.

Any ideas?

-34% means about 2/3 normal. if 2/3 was 10k, that means normal targeting would be about 15k.

You possitive you didn't have anything like WCS on when you were looking?

You seem to mix up targeting range with your turrets optimal range.

Train up T2 turrets and use scorch or fit beamlasers.

Whilst that may have fixed your problem, you mix them up either way.

- the liquid crystal magnifier doesn't have anything to do with your targeting range, but your optimal.
- it provides a 10% bonus/lvl on that, not 5%
- you probably refer to the dissolution sequencer, which indeed provides a 5% bonus on targeting range
- Even with amarr electronic subsystems at lvl 1, your unmodified targeting range would be 85km (provided proper targeting skills), modified by the wh, it would have been ~57km, so what you wrote wouldn't have been possible either way...
