Summary0013403: Spreadshot spread control should be reversed
DescriptionAt present, the Spreadshot's spread gets wider the further the cursor is from the ship, up to a maximum.

I think this is backwards. I imagine most people would click on the target they want to hit, and when you're aiming at a target that's further away from you, you need to have a tighter spread so more of the shots hit the target. Conversely, if you're clicking near your ship, either the target is close and even a wide spread will have a high hit rate, or you don't care about fine aiming and just want to spray bullets in that direction. Either way, it makes sense to let the shots spread out more then.

Thanks!

* The spreadshot no longer tries to react to where your "mouse is" or says anything about that in its tooltip, as that was an outdated thing from the old realtime combat mode.
