Thanks to Onichi for being the first to notice!
The Dev Team has gone through the second half of Round 2 of the "19 Answers" series which means they answered a question for us! The proposed 3rd Question (formerly the proposed 2nd Question) that is stickied up top was not ready in time for this round, so we can try it in two weeks or so (if it still has support) when we get another chance to bug the Dev Team.

Why do we have +40 (or so) at 60m with a laser rifle, and then -50 at 64m? Will range modifiers be reviewed in the new balances?
Again, absolutely.These changes are the types of things we want to address in the Combat Balance.
Okay, yet another "Yes. We will bring balance to the Force...err...I mean, Combat" answer. Does anybody get the feeling we have been told nothing again? This is getting to be an exercise in futility. Two questions are asked. Why are our range modifiers so odd, and is this being reviewed? The answer, "42." (the obligatory "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" reference has now been made) "Move on folks...nothing to see here."
Kezia has done some good work in formatting the next question. I think we have a near Clinton-proof question, but we need to reveiw it very carefully to be sure that we leave no room for an anwer like the above which tells us nothing. Of course, they are reviewing it. It is a combat revamp. Everything is being "reviewed." But what we really want to know is what are they reviewing it for? Do they think this is wrong or not? Because they can certainly review it and decide, "Yeah...that is the way itshould work." We want to know why before it gets too late to change it.
Everybody needs to look over the wording of the proposed question and make suggestions to eliminate any possible wiggle room.
Wouldn't that depend on the meaning of the word question?

Definately glad thats being addressed, the range mods are so out of whack.
The Dev's should answer this way:
"When the Combat Balance comes, you will not worry about this question...... Muh ha ha ha ha ha."
