1 more thing in real life we have cruise missles [ICBM] that travel 7-15k miles in our atmoshpere which has a ton of friction and gravity, so your telling, me we cant design a missle in space that has 0 gravity that can travel past 120 km :) lol unless they are certain longer space units.

I can see a laser not having range because of the particles/dust in space that refract light and dissipate it over distance and I can see the Rail Guns/ Arty because they arent guided weapons but a guided missle should have far superior range than these others and not just 30% more ...More like 300% more range. Also a Cruise Missle would have alot more punch than any weapon to me **** the Nuclear warheads alone should do 2- 4 miles in diameter of explosive power and in a vaccuum the shock alone woiuld be crazy not to mention that it would not be just expl damage but emp as well.

We all know that Nukes among other things kill electronics permanately So if your not gonna give Cald Hacs and chance upclose in a fight with no drones to jam at 35k and make them use slots to match a 5 drone Gal Hac. Seriously Ive been hearing that its balanced and calds have a shot because of range and they can snipe and thats the advantage but tell me...

If i shoot at you from a Cald Hac at 65 km to your Gal Hac will you sit there and just die outside your drone range? Or would you warp out since i dont have any choice of jamming you or any ewar at all?

But on the other hand If we at med range [35km] and Im out of jamming range and web range wouldnt youjam me with your drones come close and waste me? And close range please its no contest.

At least make missles badass on both em/expl but make them hit or miss. Or make the Cald Hacs have a fighting shot in 1 on 1 and give them some drone space not alot but enough to fight your EWAR drones at midrange. Cald would still be outclassed by 10x in the drone department considering Gals/Ammar can carry 2-4 diff kinds of drone waves, EWAR,Light EM, Light Explosive etc

Or I think Missles should have the best range and 2 damage types but the further the missle the harder it should be to adjust to the fast moving frigs etc. It would be hard for a missle to change direction as its target just flipped a 180 [that you can do in space} But Hi Explosive like nuke cannot be outran by a frig the explosion is devastatingly fast, everything else in game laser damge, Railguns are true to form in my opinion. Just a thought please give good awnsers, not drive by pointless "your an idiot" ones i think its a valid point.
