Range of Security Stations

[Minor Annoyance]

What's the range of the weapons in the Security Stations? How far away (in number of hallway squares) can I place them from the entrance and still hit targets right when they come in?

I don't know the weapon range of the guns, but visible range is a good estimate. One module gap between the station and the repair bay/access lift is generally quite a reasonable range.

 

Which base layout are you thinking about?

I'm starting again at novice and my first base will be the one that looks like this:

XX XX XX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XX XX XX

because it's the only starting base that will put the repair bay near the lift. Another base has the lift in a narrow hallway in the centre and since I can't place a repair bay near it I might make that hold my big labs and a few guards.

Well the standard security station uses the megapol plasma gun weapon stats, so it's range would be 900/16 = 56.25 tiles while the advanced one uses the disruptor gun stats. 800/16 = 50 tiles. (advanced station isn't much of an upgrade) Don't know how long base sections are in tiles or how far the turrets can see.
