Where do you, as a player, draw the lines between "close-range", "mid-range" and "long-range"? I've gotten an impression that these definitions may vary from faction to faction, and I'm curious as to what the greater Darkspace community thinks of them.

For kluth :
WE should be define close range as BEAM range. So 0-300 gu is good.
Mid range : 300-600 gu
Long range : 600-1600 gu.(missiles/Psi cannons).

Close range is beam range since thats true close combat (under 300gu). Mid is cannon ranges so railgun, particle and psi range (1200-1600gu). Mid-Long range is Gauss, and Ion cannon ranges (1900-2200) and true long range is missile range (2200+).

Close: 0 - 300gu (beam range)
Medium: 300 - 1000gu (Where I spam the spacebar)
Long: 1000+ (Where only cruise missiles and fighters work, well missiles too I guess)

this is pretty pointless as whats done is done and they arent going to chage it cause they would then look like idiots.ICC as it used to be..uas and should have been is gone.get over it and plan on being ugto/kluth crossbreeds.A lil of this a lil of that and nothing that makes you different.
in other words they are doing exactly what they said they didnt want to..make everyone the same just in different ships...and ICC got hit first.

I think anyone who thinks long range starts at 1000 gu doesn't play ICC. Our long range begins where QSTs aren't effective, minimum 1500+ gu. Our ideal long range boundary is outside of planetary missile detection, 2000+ gu.
Just my 2 cents. I see some consensus on point blank/short range being in the 0 to 300 gu range, which is probably right. Mid range is flexible in the >300 and <2000 range.
