File(s):	rulesmd.ini
Values:	Boolean values: yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0
Applicable to:	Projectiles

Can be set to 'yes' or 'no' and specifies whether or not the projectile loses strength as it travels. If this is set to 'yes' then the values specified by the MissileSpeedVar= and MissileROTVar= statements from the [General] section are applied to the projectile.

The weapon loses 1 point of damage per frame until its damage drops to 5. Only applicable if the projectile also is Dropping=yes, has a ROT greater than 0, or Ranged=yes. This appears to be the only effect of Ranged still present in YR.
