A falloff system like the CL's but then for cannons..
Particle cannons would be more powerfull at longer range so get close and you pew pew toys are useless.
Railgunn retain theyr effectiveness that is a bit low but has a high hit ratio and uses ammo *big drawback*
Psi cannons are powerfull when close range but the longer the range the more power it looses. *in the true nature of Kluth get close*
well?

Other than there's no need, and it potentially nerfs ICC and UGTO... It's just a waste of time to develop... Cannons work perfectly, and it doesn't make any sense to give them falloff... Railguns are just highspeed bolts, no falloff there (they're firing stuff through space, no friction). Particle cannons are kept within a self-sustained electromagnetic field, no falloff there, and psi cannons are just psychic energy... They're the only ones I can see getting a falloff (distance from ship = poor ability to keepa psychic link), and even then, their cannons are short range...
It just makes no sense to do...

Basically, long-range effectiveness is already lower in that it's harder to hit at range.
Interesting idea, though.

currently the fall off code only applies to beam weapons and to add it to ammo based weapons would detract from other more pressing issues

That's not even falloff... that's more like, uh... fall-on...

Still don't see the point in the 3 different cannons since everyone always just uses the strongest one...there really needs to be a difference between all the cannons other than the fact that Pcannons have mor range and rails takeno energy.
