Sure they probably have about 10 times that in actual range depending on the engine and to allow for maneuvering, but they also have self destructs to keep them from being threats to shipping. Typical ranges will be much less.Sounds okay for me...
Energy weapons: Again, depends on size, but I can't see them being useful above 30,000 KM (0.1 light seconds). Probably much less.
Slug throwers: Theoretically? Unlimited. Typically? A couple hundred klicks for the small ones, up to a light second for the Rail Cannons against slow targets.
All my opinion only.
so even at 20000 km radius all ships have to do a constant "random dance" to prevent being hit by a laser.
