Am I the only one that thinks this weapon is a tad bit of a soft hitter? A 31lvl Graviton hellbore clearly loses to a lvl 10 capital ship missile. Sure it does a bit more damage in the close range, but it loses on longer ranges and loses in range too 
. Also all weapons seeem to be having a bad case of the short range. Most heavy hitting weapons have a shorter range than the beam-pd and i find that a bit odd considering they can do over 100 times the damage but then they just run out of juice in the 80-100 region...
Its about game balance, the
Its about game balance, the difference between direct fire and seekers. Seekers tend to give you better range but can be shot down by PD, where as direct fire weapons can't be intercepted. This is a bit nerfed because there are also a fair number of short range seeker weapons *GRRR*, Yes I know the fly faster but you still have to get up close to use them.
I do admit thou that some of the ranges for the late game direct fire weapons are a bit short.
