Player outranges frigate firing range

[Rob Pilkington]

If you sit about 1.55km away from a frigate, you can safely shoot it and it won't fire back.

In the original game, the frigate will open fire from something more like 1.8km (maybe a bit further). The turbolaser fire also have significantly longer range than that (they have almost no chance of hitting anything at that range; looks nice, though).

Do turbolasers have longer range than fighter lasers? Range is determined by speed and lifespan. Do they travel faster or have longer lifespan?
