How about instead of adding a range band, increase them from 6" to 7"?
Thus 1-7" 2+, 7-14" 3+, 14-21" 4+, 21-28" 5+, 28-35" 6+.
This keeps the close shots from being auto hits* and gives almost as
much
range.	The reduction in damage might warrent a reduction in base mass
to 5.
Your version is really an improvement over the base model, not just an
extended range modification.

chance to see Indy fire pulse torps in person!

Any reason for the 3" limit for the AFDC?  If I remember right, the
normale
AFDC range for missiles is still 6" so this this just another weakness
to
ofset its increased abilities?
