Description

In Space Combat there are distances. Short, Medium, Long, Huge, Vast, Astronomic. Different distances can affect the ships ability to target and fire. Some weapons cannot fire at some ranges. It may be useful to determine the enemies ships abilities and then pick the best range to fire from. This Pilot check moves the ship to a different distance. If the opposing check is higher than the enemy ship has the choice to either let the ship make the distance change or not.
