The newly spoiled Fleet Officer uses the wording "within range". No other pilot or upgrade card uses that wording (they use the wording "at range" when applicable instead).

Both "within" and "at" is clearly defined in the faq, and they do not mean the same thing.

I find it rather strange that you suddenly must measure to the farthest point of the target(s), instead of the closest point.

Is this an oversight? Or have ffg suddenly decided to fine tune cards by making this distinction? Seems a little clunky to me in that case (why not add a point to the cost instead).

Good catch on that... The biggest thing that it hurts is measuring to a big ship. So perhaps they did it to emphasize little ship support?

More likely it is an accident due to sloppy templating of the rules text.

My first reaction was "Crap! Hope this gets FAQ'd!" to "Unless I'm playing epic, this is never going to affect 2 large ships. May be a point of contest every now and then, but its a price I'm willing to pay for such an awesome card."

Please not another discuss about and unrealese card, it's a waste of time, greettings.

If I would like to waste my time I would probably do something like post a comment in a forum thread I have absolutely no interest in.

Yeah it has to be within, but the card has the range 1-2, not just within range 1. So that shouldn't be too hard. What I want to know is if it will be able to include itself.
