I do it alot in KOTH games. And the other times I usually just edit my main race for each game.

That isn't quite true. You can get 99% to hit out at long ranges, if conditions favor you. There is no 100% cap at range 0. There is only a 99% cap at each range, applied after all ranges have been calculated.

I did add "before you take the bonuses into account" because of what you mentioned Fyron, but I ought to be much more clear.

Same here Ragnarok, I tend to use the same race in all my games (when applicable), as it is much faster than altering several Empires. And don't you want to appear as an old race, whose wisdom is unparalleled by these young newcomers? Perhaps it is only my ego as an Emperor that speaks however.

I think point-blank distance is next to ship and it`s 99% to hit, not 90%. If it would be one sector away then it would be 90%

Point blank firing is one square distant, so there is a 10% penalty to hit.
