That's what happened, I suppose. Showed actual range on both the
"weapon arcs" on the map and the targeting menu.  Can't say that I'm
thrilled at having to look up each ship, work out what the stealth is,
then apply it.  Might have to actually think. :-\

On the other hand, my missiles seem to have reduced range?  That's
weird, I'd think they'd have reduced secondary range (6 in down to
4in) but I ought to be able to place them anywhere, I'd think.  And
why would stealth affect the missile range display but not beam?

Am I just fatally confused?
