I found that, too, in some things I had been playing with, and then
I noticed a couple of options people posted a while back for various
modifications to weapons effectiveness being applied to the effective
range of the weapon itself. So instead of a -1 modifier to a beam
weapon for some reason, apply a penalty of +6" or even +12" to the
range from the firing ship to target. I kinda like this a bit better.
This would be then the 'effective range' as opposed to the 'true range'.
