Makes no sense when you fly a battleship, have large guns, and your optimals are 4kms.

Do it or its your loss.

So you demand short range dps monstrosities to reach out farther?

Tough Luck I'd say. Won't happen.

If you check large guns you'll notice that they come in different varieties.
Each race has guns for short and long range (i.e. blasters / rails).
Plus the different weapon systems of the races come with different design philosophies:
Lasers have long optimals but short falloff ranges. Projectiles have short optimals but long falloff ranges. And hybrids are somewhere in the middle.

While we're at it, increase range of all XL guns to up to 0.25 AU.

There are roughly 6 different types of large guns out there. Based on hulltype some of these have optimals reaching to a 100 KM

But this wasnt a serious post to begin with, now was it?

I love the threat in the OP. It's adorable.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

Actually it's your loss, not CCPs, you'll play anyway.

I'm detecting a highsecer who just bought their first megathron before training any gunnery supports and has no idea about how turrets work.

I've instagibbed frigates at 70km with my armor blaster Mega before. Don't tell me the range is too short.

Wierd. The optimal on my Battleship is like 46km. It's almost as if there is different weapon systems that have different optimals or something. Let's open a frivolous petition and toss in some unsub threats just to be sure.

Ordinarily I'd make a post pointing out the many ways to improve fall off, but there are so many to list. So, so many.

Instead, I will take this post to say it is National poultry day. Yay poultry!

My battleship has quite a bit more range, perhaps you selected the wrong race?

The first actual insightful post in the thread. Unfortunately the OP seems like he is of the ilk that spits in the face of logic.

I like the way this guy thinks.
