Coming back to the original observation of adding blunderbuss helping range2 beam ships get in range... don't we need to factor in how much additional damage the token component will do? (2/4/6/... considering a BB design).
If the ship will die at the 1st enemy shot, then stars! will disregard the blunderbuss token which would not cause sufficient damage in it's own right. (Eg a BB with 2 blunderbuss, 6 sappers and 12 R2 beams). If you are talking about 10+ blunderbuss designs, it might make a difference.
If stars! still calculates that the additional damage done by a token component slot of 2 blunderbuss isn't enough to tip the edge so to speak, it won't take the ship closer with the default orders of max damage ratio.
If we are talking about max damage orders, I have not seen any battles in my actual games (with conventional designs) where ships have failed to move the maximum cells feasible.
