'''Note:''' On this page, the terms "''orbitting speed''" and "''orbitting velocity''" are used interchangeably. They both refer to the target’s movement speed along its orbital path. Also, the term "''stationary''" is used instead of "''static''" to more accurately describe ships that are not moving.

This term shows that hit chance decreases the further the target is beyond optimal range. This relationship can be visualized along a 1D axis.

We can visualize the target's orbiting motion as an arc. The length of this arc over one second represents the target’s orbital velocity. For a given orbital velocity, the angular velocity (how quickly the target moves across the turret’s aim) increases as the orbital radius (distance to the attacker) decreases:

This means, the closer the target is while orbiting at the same speed, the harder it is for the turret to track.

Different turret types have different property. The following three figures shows the property of each turrets, when targeting against a stationary object of 100 signature radius at 5000m distance.
 
For example, autocannons have a very short optimal range and long falloff, thus having a bigger yellow to orange area. Pulse lasers have long optimal and short falloff, and the worst tracking, which results in long but narrow cone of green area. Blasters have the best tracking but worst range, showed by the short and wide cone.
