'Accuracy fall off' and 'optimal range'
I thought that it was quite self evident what they meant but what doesnt make sense is this...
For say, blasters and projectile turrets the 'accuracy fall off' range is higher than the 'optimal range' which is how i would expect it to be. With rails however the 'accuracy fall off' range is LOWER than the optimal range, (not just a bit but like a half!!). This doesnt make sense to me...optimal range i assumed was best/most effective range but this cant be the case for rails if the 'accuracy fall off range is lower than the optimal range...
Can someone explain please?

"hence the fact that the accuracy falloff point for railguns is BEFORE the optimal range"
thats wrong killer...i thought accuracy fall off was a point distance from your ship as well ...which is what made no sense (for the reason in my post)....as Ral explained very cleary though it's a point distance 'added' to your optimal range....which makes Silmarils explanation more meaningful to me now :)

Ilia, ..as i said to Sil i wasn't being rude....but his answer made no sense with the train of thought i was on..
i have been given a few wrong answers on this question as it seems a lot of people dont understand it like i didnt. I wasnt going to go away and rack my brains for 1/2 an hour over something that may be wrong anyway...for example Someone told me in game yesterday that optimal range = maximum range..

thats ok sil...i know when you understand how things works properly..and they are very straight forward it's easy to assume that a simple answer is enough :)
