Range

How to reduce ships range

from GalCiv2 Forums

Is there a way to reduce all the ship's base range?

I can reduce the range of the life support component but every ship still gets a good range, 1 and a half sector.

And the Colony, Survey and Miner I start with get way too much range for my taste.

go into the race config file and set race range to - number, i went for  -100................make sure you do this to all races or they'll have a big advantage on you

Ha ok, so if I get this correctly, there is a hardcoded default value, but thankfuly each race has a modifier that can be negative.

Thanks for the info.

there may be a better way to do it, but i stole this way from a mod that tried to make the game more realistic (cant remember name, its back a few pages)

Personally, I simply removed all the range bonuses you get from certain techs, and put a -75 range bonus onto the hyperdrive tech (which all races have by default), I also dropped the range of the life support components
