If this means linear fall off, does this not excessively benefits short range lasers? Taking an arbitrary render distance of 5km and small laser range of 250m, the small laser would still be doing half its damage at 2625m.

Sounds like a really good reason to take as many small lasers as possible. Suddenly they're sniper weapons. You'd figure by double max range the damage should be down to zero. I wonder what buff ammo weapons are going to get to compensate for this? Its not nearly as easy to take advantage of extended range on ammo based weapons 'cause... you know ammo.

Magically respawning ammo perhaps?

Or you can just eject and respawn in the very same spot with a fully loaded up Mech again. Who cares about any realism anyway any more?
