Is there any way to change the engagement range of AI ships?

As far as I'm aware and I could be wrong the AI engagement range is determined by its weapons. If it has only short range beam weapons with 0.5 x sector range it will only scan in that range. If it has a missile/beam weapon it should scan 3.2 x sectors.

It's in the new bug tracker.

They always end of moving out to the max range of their longest distance weapon.

In reality it should (pulse excluded) be the range of their shortest weapon range minus longest dimension of the target ship.

Which means a ship with pulse as the only weapon will ignore you until you are sitting on it. >_>
