Meteor shower - how does it work?

from Sins Forums

All I know is that it can do damage at greater range than the normal starbase weapons. How much? For how long? Does it have a radius of effect? And does it actually work the same whether you are orbiting a star, planet or asteroid belt?

PS Is there a revised SoSE unit cost/abilities spreadsheet available? Last one I am aware of was by Zyrxil based on game version 1.12 and doesn't include entrenchment.

The way it works is you pick a target (max range is 15000, enough to reach even Ogrovs without range boosters like the Akkan), and everything in a large radius around the target gets hit with a meteor for what was it, 500 damage? It works the same anywhere, doesn't matter if it's a star or asteroid belt or anything.

Rank 2 of the upgrade is currently bugged and the range is set to 0 :x You can change it manually though by editing the appropriate file.

Range 0 as in the ability can only reach out to range 0. Or the ability radius is range 0?

Sorry, the ability becomes point-blank to station basically, can't target anything pretty much.
