Is there a range cap on BS? (as in how close to the target you have to be before calling it in) and if so does it change with the different BS levels?

Not sure what the max is, but I tent to fire it off at around 2K. I personally avoid firing it off beyond 2.5K, cause it seems the TIEs can get distracted or lost too easy from far away.

I think the max range I'll push it to is about 1.5k, but yes, Bomber Strike isn't an automatic thing all the time; you will get failures from time to time.
I got 4 failures in a row when I tried to solo the Vette for the Royal Guard Interceptor.

yea I'm tryin to do the 3/3/3/2 mission, where the last part is destroying the gunboat with it's escort..
this last time I was able to succesfully call in the strike, and I was able to pick off the escort shunting my cap to shields a few times from the stray gunboat fire.. but it seemed once all it's escort was gone it decided to start ignoring the strike team and aimed all it's guns at me. =\
Early on I was using emergency weapons and just charging the lambadas toe to toe.. but I found that doesn't work so well with the gunboat..
bleh

I'm not sure if there is a range.. I was helping someone getting her 30 Rebel kills in Kessel when I got a tell from someone else that he's in dire need of help with the vette.. I told him I was occupied at the moment, but I would lend him my bstrike3..
I was 5200m away and it went off without a hitch.. so I think it's all hit and miss
perhaps, the further you are, the more likely you will fumble or whatever?
