1. If I use a Ion Cannon Turret at a range 1 target do I get 1 extra attack die?

2. If I use a Proton Torpedoes at a range 3 target does the defender get an extra defense die?

Thanks in advance!

Nope. Range effects are only for Primary weapons. Page 11 & 12 of the rulebook, under Rolling Attack & Defense dice.

No. For both questions. It's in the rulebook as already mentioned.

This is part of the reason that R3 secondary weapons are viewed more favorably and why some R1 only secondaries get a bad reputation as they compare to improved primary weapon attacks.
