I think we should probably start from the ground up and ask the community what they want starship combat in Star Army to be like, and make the rules from there.

The Engagement Range Guidelines section said:==== Engagement Range Guidelines ====
//Note: This section primarily applies to gun-based starship weapons in the setting, such as railguns, plasma weapons, laser weapons, autocannons, antimatter weapons, mass drivers, etc.//
^ Light-Seconds ^ Kilometers((Values have been rounded for ease of calculation. 1 light-second = 299,792.458 kilometers.
)) ^ Notes ^
| 0.033 | 10,000 | For gameplay purposes, any light-speed weapon less than this far away is considered to hit instantly. |
| 0.100 | 30,000 | |
| 0.250 | 75,000 | |
| 0.500 | 150,000 | |
| 0.750 | 225,000 | |
| 1.000 | 300,000 | This is the furthest any ship can reliably hit one another most of the time with light-speed weapons.((For scale, the distance from the earth to the moon on average is 1.2825 light-seconds.)) |
| 1.500 | 450,000 | |
| 2.000 | 600,000 | At this range, misses are more common. (25% chance to miss) |
| 2.500 | 750,000 | (50% chance to hit) |
| 3.000 | 900,000 | Maximum engagement range for light-speed weapons. Accurate shots are rare. (25% chance to hit)((A few weapons in the setting - such as Aether Shock Arrays - have longer maximum engagement ranges.)) |
The FTL Combat section said:==== FTL Combat ====
* Combat while at FTL speeds is not possible in the setting.
* There are no FTL weapons in the setting, apart from FTL torpedoes.(("Torpedo" in this instance is referring to any starship-grade missile-based weapon system, such as missiles, rockets, torpedoes, etc.))
* These torpedoes can use FTL to enter an area but must make their attack runs at STL speeds.
* FTL torpedoes cannot utilize their FTL drives inside a sun's Hill Sphere.
* FTL torpedoes have a maximum FTL velocity of 12c (~3,600,000 kilometers/second or ~2,200,000 miles/second).
Really? I always thought you were a SM.I've seen this thread. However, being Staff does not equate being a Setting Manager. I can't help you on this one.
