Have the ranges on sentry guns changed?
I could have sworn sentry guns outside of stations and gates stopped targeting and attacking at the 150km range, however tonight I was being targeted and attacked at 151-200km ranges by the guns.
Has this changed and I missed the patch notes or is this a glitch I should petition?

They still target you, they just shouldn't shoot you. __________________

It's 150km from center of gate/station, not from guns. You can literally sit on a gun and not be shot if you are far enough of what they are defending. -- I'm done whining about AFs, it looks like they are making them right \o/ |

Thats very intresting indeed. Especially considering that I was nearly 220km away from the station and 150km away from the nearest gun and ALL the guns locked AND shot at me. As a matter of fact they even broke the tank on my Battleship.....while I had a logistics ship on me! I escaped by the hair on my taint.

Now I know how much we love to twist things and troll, but isn't this stretching it a bit much? His complaint is about being targeted and fired upon from 150-200km, the effect is that it broke his tank - which would be easily done on a sniper fit ship.
Tanking sentries, actually requires you know, a TANK!

If this is petitioned and you get an answer to this can you please share with the rest of us as this is a major change in game mechanics.

Station sentry guns in high-sec have had a 250km range since a long time. And 8 of them will destroy a battleship in short order. ____

Have to admit while I haven;t experienced this personally, someone was kind enough to donate their stuff to me when they attacked me at 170k from a station and the guns made short work of their HAC.
I was hoping the sentries woudl stay out of it at that range but hey ho, got the same result.

150km from any factional object incl sentries, station, gate, billboard etc. in 0.1-0.3, 0.4 had more range iirc. and highsec, well, thats another game.

This is the sort of annoying question which floats around for months and months causing confusion when someone from CCp could say
"ranges are xxxxx from xxxx unles xxxxx"
And clear it up in 5 mins

Sentries won't shoot you if your target is more than 150km away from you. Distance from Station/Sentries doesn't matter, ever.

This isn't true because I've engaged someone in low sec sitting 20km away from me and 170km from the sentrys in the past and not got shot by them.

Yeah I shot someone and the sentrys didn't engage. The point is, it was the past and if they've changed things they really should let us know. Oh and the sec status of a system doesn't matter. Think before you reply.

Wrong.
There are cetain AMARR stations with a 30km undock bubble (ie you can move 30km away from touching the station and you still show as 0km from the station)
At these stations you can be 151km away from your target. But only 121km from the station.
Shooting the target will get sentries shooting at you.
Its distance from the thing they are protecting (station) that counts, not the gun itself, or the dood you are shooting at.

im sorry skunk maybe i must have failed that math class
but your overview says you are 151km from station 0 point (aka docking point) docking point is a 30km radius bubble around station, doersnt that mean you are 181km from station center, and not 121? :)
ohh and the sentries are defending the installations that means stations and stargates, not the guy you are shooting. So if you sit 20km from a dude and you are 150+ from the stargate/station you should not get aggressed by the sentries. Ofc with all the blues having been upgraded they might have beefed up the sentries in high sec ___________________________
