Tachyon Lance

Is there any use to its 5000-long range? I thought it'd be useful for shooting targets your allies have spotted, but you can't aim at them from that far :(

You can if you select the enemy ship through the war room after pressing tab, then hit "r" to target them. Now get out of the war room and press "z."

Oh yeah.

Just tried this before, its utterly brutal can easily kill off frigates before they get to you providing you have line of sight.

Indeed, I was having fun sniping enemies from across the map before they even got in range of the rest of my fleet.

Made a modified onslaught, reduced armor rat to 500 and hull to 11000
but . . . . . . . gave it 8 large energy mounts w/ all tach lances
and 5k flux dissipation and 30k max flux

omg nothing but caps survive to within 1200 of it
