Basically allow the bolts fired by player controlled turrets to last longer, thus travel farther since turreted weapons don't necessarily benefit from the ship's velocity and are usually hurt by it.

Fail.

Seems reasonable to me, actually. It's sort of annoying trying to fire backwards from a turboing ship...

Tough shit: that you're firing backwards from a turboing ship at all is advantage enough.

Sounds good.

Agreed

So, unless I am completely missing the point... the goal here is greater weapon range from a rear firing ship as it turbos away?

I... (this never gets less painful.)... have to agree with Lecter. A ship infiniboosting away and firing backwards has two advantages that most fighters don't have, giving it a third might just shatter that precious "balance" that every one loves so much.
