Buff Salvage Beam Range

[Lecic]

The range on salvage beams is... pretty sad. With my 120m salvage/freighter, the beams just look sad. I'd like to propose a range increase to about 300 or so meters, or maybe have range increase with the size of the array, so that salvage scales with the ship.

longer arrays should have much longer beams than shorter ones.
Ex. 5 block long array should have about a 5 block range; where as a 100 block long array should have maybe a 200 block range.
Numbers could be changed around but you get the idea.

I suggest:

range=100+lengthOfArray​

should scale to a maximum range

does slaving damage beams to salvage beams increase the range? it does so for other systems. i haven't tried it.

It does, but it can only double the range

I'd rarher see a minimum range that salvage beams start at and a maximum range up to where it can be increased.

I think double range is plenty.

Double range. Slave. Done.

While "The Maw of Doom" can look cool, I don't think it should be the primary way to salvage things.
