SpaceCat Targeting range should be at least as long as the most long range weapon. I'm not sure if it is (?)
It's 200 meters, i.e. the same range as an Ion Beam. Why do you think it should be longer?
SpaceCat only on very rare occasions it suddenly uses exessive power = almost depletes instantly - and i'm not sure why (too rare to catch a savegame because i would have to know before the event.)
SpaceCat Is it intentional that it uses much more power in "Push" to a point whre constantly powering it is nigh impossible?
So the mechanics of pull and push modes are pretty different, and both can use greatly varying amounts of power.
In pull mode, whatever the range is when the beam initially locks on is 10% strength/power, and then the beam can stretch up to 200 meters beyond that, ramping up to 100% strength/power. So I suspect those power spikes you're seeing are the beam getting quickly stretched to near max length, using nearly 10x as much power.
In push mode it's a bit simpler: At 200 meters it uses 5% strength/power and at 0 meters it uses 50% strength/power (% compared to pull mode). So pull mode is theoretically twice as strong at maximum stretch, but push mode is easier to get to near its maximum power.
SpaceCat But is there a way to ungroup parts somehow?
Not directly, but I should add that.
