Their range baffles me. Capital weapon range is shorter than battleship range for the most part, though it's not an even trend. Citadel torpedoes do have significantly longer range than battleship torpedoes though that isn't saying much.
I don't understand why they have such a short range, to the extent that there are people complaining about shooting a POS in falloff at point-blank range. Would it spoil some vast eternal plan if dreadnoughts were a bitty bit long range? (stolen line from Fiddler on the Roof) Is there a reason capital weapons need to not have a long range?
Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance)

They have short range because you're using short range weapons with range penalised ammo.

Extra Large guns do actually have more base range on the guns than the large versions, but the range discrepancy is because there are no T2 Dreadnought guns, so therefore they do not have access to Null L / Scorch L / Barrage L etc. |

The ranges are much too high, for Moros and Naglfar anyway. The Moros can use antimatter against a large POS at 35 km. That's absurd, that sort of job should be the forte of the Revelation and lasers - this is one of the reasons why the Rev is worthless, because it has no DPS-at-range advantage over blasters and ACs. |

Homogeneization of XL turret ranges was one of the worst pass of game balance for capitals.

T2 missiles might help those phoenix pilots actually hit moving titans. |

According to my maths, it's virtually impossible for a citadel torpedo to not do max damage to a supercarrier. In EFT I gave a Nyx an officer afterburner, overdrive injectors, skirmish ganglinks, and the missiles were still doing "160%" damage. Granted, I didn't try it on a Hel and I didn't give it pirate implants, but I don't think even that would have been enough to reduce the damage significantly.
Now that's a supercarrier, not a titan.

Yeah, the "supercaps can speed-tank citadel missiles" is an old myth that many people haven't noticed is no longer true, because nobody actually flies a Phoenix or gets shot by one. 
The application of GMP to citadel missiles and removal of the explosion velocity penalty to siege mode basically fixed it. The problem with the Phoenix is lack of flexibility and lack of damage. |
