MD540 Nightbird
Dev Comment: We have introduced these changes to ensure that the MD540 Nightbird is most efficient in its intended combat range, which is close to medium. We do not expect drastic performance alterations with these changes, however players can expect to be less efficient when taking on targets out of the intended range.
