My friend last night said you can only gain 1 extra die @ Range 1 with your primary weapon. Didn't look it up yet, but he says it is in the rules. The question came up because a friend wanted to add 1 extra to his secondaries. Is this correct?

Primary weapons only

Core rule book p10:

Range combat bonuses only occur when a ship is attacking with its primary weapon

Thanks. Just took a picture of it in the Rules.

You'll also find it on the Quick Reference summary on the back page of the rulebook (bottom left corner).

It is also in the "Quick Reference" on the back of the rulebook, bottom of the left hand column, under Range Combat Bonus.

"When attacking with a primary weapon:"

Range 1: +1 [red] Range 3: +1 [green]
