I noticed that when playing in Immense galaxies, ships seem to have an artifical maximum range.  I tend to play in maps set to Tight Clusters, so there are often gulfs of empty space between clusters.  When I upgraded ships to include more range increasing modules, I was still unable to get past the previous range limit.

Is this possibly a maximum value that is not large enough for the new maps?

The only way I was able to get past it was to place a starbase closer to the destination, even though the support modules should have given me the range to get there.

Thanks!
