The T1 non-navy Crucifier has a 10% Optimal range bonus, so Weapon Disruptors fitted to it gets
a wopping 62-64km opt-falloff…
I was thinking, that the -85% range bonus, was to be applied to the EFFECTIVENESS of the disruptors,
so instead of -32% it would do -59% disruption. That would actually makes sense.
It seems to me that its a penalty this way more than a Bonus…
That’s by design. The effect range is supposed to be severely limited because it is supposed to be a brawler ship. All the navy ewar frigates have the same sub 20km range to their primary ewar. In return, you get a higher effectiveness of the ewar (Cruci and Griffin) or increased range to match the other two (more fixed web and scram range for Vigil and Maulus).
