Possible Bug, Perhaps Stealth Nerf?

[_Absolom_]

Subject of this thread: Electric Shield

Possible bug: Doubling the range of beam weapons(Glaxion, Flux Rifle, etc) instead of extending it indefinitely.

Reproducing the bug(if it is a bug): Test it with life support capsules. I did this with the Glaxion: Stood 30 meters away, fired a short beam, then moved 30 meters, put up my shield, fired again. In the exact 60 meter range I hit the life support, however, upon moving backwards just one meter, the beam disappeared and the life support wasn't hit.

 

I need a captain and source if this has been stated in patch notes in the past, I might have missed it.

Thank you for reading.
