Glossary

Range definitions are relative to the primary season hull. Thus what is short for one hull might be considered medium for another, the goal is to convey easily to players which turrets/ships they can outrange and which turrets/ships may be firing on you from a considerable distance away.

  • Very Short = Easily out-ranged.
  • Short = Out-rangeable.
  • Medium = At least the same range as the player but generally not much more.
  • High = Will easily outrange the player hull.
  • Very High = Will cover a significant portion of the target.

 

If the arc is not specified then it has a 360 degree arc.
