Why should corvettes be able to out range us? Let make it 1000 and call it even.

that would actually be pretty fun, and really help the atmosphere. Imagine coming in as a fighter to take one down and worrying about this massive barrage of fire coming off of them for some 1K m. It seems both plausible and realistic. I mean, the guns are heavier, bigger, and more powerful, I see no reason why their range wouldn't be longer. I agree, if an SD and vette can do it, so should our "cap ships."

Not feasable, or Gunboats would be even more ridiculous.
At least now if you don't pay attention you might slip into firing range.

they could always increase their range........I mean, as it is, we're killing them with an exploit these days anyway......

I do strafing runs from the underside of em. Sitting at 550m just doesn't sit right with me.

It's definately more fun that way. Still, I really think it'd be fun if with these higher powered guns we got some higher ranges with them as well, kind of like how it would probably work in reality (or SWality I suppose). I wouldn't mind the range on gunboats increasing. As it is with the new POB ships you can pretty much just charge gunboats in them anyway.

I think the range on both POB's and gunboats should be raised to 750 meters. Longer than a starfighter, but still less than the capital ships (assuming we ever get player controlled cap ships).

No need for extra range....
As it is now POBs are the most powerful PvE ship (with a good crew that is)... I can "slip in range" of a trio of tier 5 rebel gunships and still have no problems/no challenge whatsoever
As for PvP... with the right crew/components you can beat anyone with a POB...

No.... quite simply, PoB ships would become the uber-ship in PvE. Speed is plenty fast enough to outpace a Tier 5 I'm sure, just get within' 1000m in front of the enemy ships with them following behind you, match speed, never get hit at all and just nail them like no other. Could take on entire squads of ships, and not even get a scratch.
