When are we going to get accurate range tables for the weapons that we use?? how far is short range, med range, long range & extreme range?? Which weapons are effective at which range?? |

Considering that distance in meters isn't shown for players right now, we aren't likely to get this for the time being.
Also, some of the ranges still have to be tweaked. Ever been sniped by an AR?
I do want this to happen eventually though, as we are in New Eden after all. |

Yes. Thats one of the reasons I want the ranges of the weapons. I was at range that an AR should not reach. |

Certain weapons can tell you the range to target, turret installations and sniper rifles, for instance. |

Target info is not universal as some weapons dont have a zoom function. But the info does not say if target is within effective range to kill? |

QQ about the Ar's range? Seriously when sniper rifles have infinite range and lose no damage at close or long range like laser rifles or shotguns. Light weapon sharpshooter lvl 3, nuff said and end the QQ about an aspect that isn't the issue. |

Depending on the weapon, I know some of them do give range to target, and effective range of weapon if you keep the bead on the target long enough. If you do it long enough it will even tell you what suit they're wearing. But, I've only seen that with AR's while scoped, Sniper rifles, Railgun and Blaster installations. And turrets on vehicles.
The problem with sniper infinite range that someone was complaining about. The issue is the snipers here are Railguns. Railguns have a range measured in kilometers, even man portable ones like those in game. Most of the high powered rifles in real life are capable of shooting at ranges of 1 to 2 miles which is anywhere from 1.6-3km in the hands of a skilled marksman. |

The range isn't so much of the problem, it's just they don't get a efficiency reduction at close range like the Ars and despite being railguns most of the versions are semiautomatic when no other rail can do the same |
