It appears that sectors in reference to range are measured by the diagonal across the sector, not the side as you would think. It also appears there is a base minimum given to all ships of 0.5 As the default flagship you get on a sandbox game has a range of 1.5 can cross 1.5 squares diagonally (corner to corner), though around 3.5 following the lines

v1.11 After playing through the campaign I have a load of saved ships. I name them including my current miniaturization level for my own ease of use. eg "10 blah blah", "70 blah blah" In my current game I have a miniaturization level of +10% and I have a saved ship from previously that is available to be built that has 4x laser mk5 and 2x impulse drives Mk1.

Gal Civ 1.11 runs the processor at 100% while doing nothing at all, like sitting on the galactic map. Which not only uses more power which I have to pay for but also means they have to burn more oil (in the UK anyway) to create that electricity. The heat makes my bedroom hot and my girlfriend opens the window at 3am and then I freeze and she returns under the duvet. My processor fan runs at max, sucking in more dust meaning I have to clean it out more often else the unit will go Cher
