Summary0009606: Several Champion Modules have range less than the champion
DescriptionWasn't there a reason why all modules must have a range > the ship that mounts them? I remember hearing something about that, due to assumptions about targeting or something.

Yeah, the host unit will only move close enough to get its own weapon into range, it doesn't care about its modules.

Which modules have a shorter range than which champion(s)?

The one I can think of off the top of my head is the needler and the MLRS modules (the two non-laser basic modules) compared to the range of the Zenith "2nd tier" champion.

There are probably many, many other pairs, but this is the set I observed first that prompted me to make this issue.

I don't expect there to be many because I intentionally try to keep this from happening, but I suppose it's possible.

Hmm, there actually were quite a few, but the human champion was fine at least. For 5.084:

* Champion main weapon ranges normalized so they don't exceed the range of their modules (and thus cause the auto-movement logic to not close to the proper range).

Thanks :)
