That's counter-intuitive - at close range, it'd be harder to react quickly, because you'd have to overcome your own ship's intertia and momentum, and that takes time.<br/><br/>if you want to complain about the rules (for a ship you're not even on, to boot), complain to TGT. I'm just following a script and a rulebook here, and according to the rulebook, there are no simultaneous actions.
