Is there one?
Technically as I understand it the meson gun is an advanced form of particle weapon. At least not counting the George Meson version.That's kinda what I thought. Couldn't recall anything in CT or MT. Only thing I could think of was, because the thing has to hit (mostly) inside the target and that was going to get harder with distance due to the time lag, to come up with some IMTU solution involving increasing the impact of agility. I'm willing to throw it open; not sure if I should request the thread be moved or not for that.
And, yeah, the Mayday ranges were predicated on the trope sci fi lasers so they are a bit weird. Since we're forced to do trope sci fi or add some sort of magical device that has absolutely no impact on other tech to make the existing lasers work, I figure I can live with that. Or discard it and use it only for particle beams, which is kinda cool because it gives particle beams an extreme range. Nice reason to take a couple of particle beam spinals along.
Who is George Meson?
