Combat problem...
So my ships have missles with range of 16. The enemy planet has medium weapons platforms with APBXI and heavy mount or whatever the Medium weap plat has. Range of his beams is 12. 16 minus 12 is 4, right? So my ships out range his by 4 right? If I set strat to max range they should stand off and fire until he is dead unless he has enough PDC to stop all the missles, in which case neither of us should take any damage right? That's how I figure it, and that's how it happens without fail in dozens of simulations. Every time, my ships take no damage. Zero, none. His plats don't even fire because I never come in range.
But when the day actually comes and I order the attack they close to within range before firing and get picked off by his weapons platforms.
WTF?!?!?
