Increased range would be nice, as for the hacking ones now, the highest increase I've seen is around 3.5 skill or so. It does help but it definitely doesn't make the skill OP, and I feel adding Bio as part of it won't make it OP either. For when your using it on mobs higher then your CL it still fails quite often, however having a little more range would be great because some of the mobs like to stay at times 4k away. Now I'm not expecting a 5k range or something, but maybe that with the added buff from item it makes the range say 3k or so I feel would help especially on the bio as it has only a 2.5k range which really sucks. As for the power usage, it already uses plenty and you can't just keep spamming it as it will drain your reactor pretty quick, as TE only get lvl8 reactors.
