Weapon range descriptions

(1/4) > >>

Daft Loon:
The weapon range descriptions in the ship screen and wilsons notes seem to be based directly on maximum range and are grouped rather oddly. This gives some rather misleading results, the minelauncher is "Very long range" and the flare gun is apparently the only medium range weapon.

Since the numbers for range are available too it seems like this could be changed to a judgement of effective range instead, hopefully making some small dent in the number of poorly chosen loadouts around.

Banshee, light flak, harpoon, minotaur and hwacha should be considered medium range rather than very long or long.
Hades should perhaps be long rather than very long.
Minelauncher should be short.

Any thoughts on what would be the most helpful description for each weapon?

BlackenedPies:
I'd say short around 300 max, medium 500, long 1000, very long 1500

Short is carro flame mortar mine
Medium hwatcha gat flare harpoon
Long flaks artemis banshee hades mino
V long lumber merc

Kamoba:
What Pies said, but with the addition that gat is short to long and Hades mid to long. Those two guns are just so effective. :)

Daft Loon:
Currently it seems to be long < 1400, medium < 800, short < 500

What pies said is about right. Whether to account for lesmok where its common or not and whether to suggest a minimum range (arming times + artemis for turn speed and merc for arcs)?

Hoja Lateralus:
It doesn't rustle my jimmies, but +1.
