Right now the new T3 battlecruisers and sniping battleships can lock and kill out to 250km. This is wonderful and makes for some fantastic fights.

But there is a downside, a critical and intensely annoying one: you can't broadcast targets that far.

Targets can only be broadcast out to ~150km and, with combat in these sniping ships regularly going further, targets have to be specifically called out by name, something that is incredibly annoying in a large fleet fight. Extending the broadcast target range allows sniping ships to be more effective and fulfill the purpose they have been ostensibly designed for.

This is a simple quality of life change that will have very positive consequences considering how range has now become an ever more important factor in multi-doctrine ~1000 man fleet fights.

what is the problem with making it possible to broadcast everything on grid?

It does seem strange that with the range of some ships that you can't broadcast targets that far out.

Supported.
