Must be slightly below 250km since thats the maximum possible locking range in the game. ___________________________________

249km is the current max targeting range and its posssible to hit at that range with a megathron with t2 guns + t2 ammo
Before they set the 249km max targeting range no idea but i think it would have been possible to get a very very long range with people boosting a bs with scorps + tracking links |

i think i hit over 250 before the 249k lock cap was introduced, i had a typhoon with 1400's, 4 tracking computers, and 7 tracking enhancer II's. combine that with the falloff bonus, and throw the longest range ammo in.

Edited by: 50freefly on 06/05/2006 06:13:49 Why can't you lock over 250 km?
Theoretically, take the Leviathan.
225 km locking distance. Even with just 1 78 percent targetting distance officer sensor booster, that goes up to 400.5 km.
I'm not sure what the penalty is, but adding up those 78 percent boosters on EVERY slot of the Leviathan (624 percent), you get a 1629 km locking range. Of course, you can't fit a gun to shoot 1629 km. 
Your figure sounds correct, however, and I may be completely wrong. Please correct me if there is some 250km invisible targetting barrier.
EDIT- Nevermind about my post then.

Don't know what that is specifically on sensor boosters. Said that in my post.

A shuttle or a frig perhaps. Takes around 15 seconds for a Javelin to travel 250km. One volley with good skills = dead hauler for example.

Scorps used to have the longest range in the game i think pre nerf boosted they were like 280-300 optimal Sig file must be no larger than 24000 bytes. Mail [email protected] for info - Cathath |

If the drones followed you into warp, they were not from a Dominix, but from a Carrier.
A Carrier's Fighter Drones can follow their targets into warp and chase them around the solar system.  __________
