Who knows this situation?
Suppose you have just started your colony in the open field and your 5 colonists all with ranged weapons now have to defend against 10 pirates. When the raid starts you place your 5 colonists hidden behind corners or sandbags and hope for a cool gunfight.
But because you have only 5 colonists and more pirates only 5 pirates can have the action "shoot at xy colonist" and the others rush to the nearest furniture/turret or other objects and thus expose themself to be gunned down.
When a raid group consists of only ranged fighters I would love to see them also waiting behind cover and try to get a good shot at my colonists. I remember having countless raid from the tribes and while I had snipers behind sandbags even archers would just overrun me because they had their "demolish standing lamp" task or "demolish door" and then would start a meele fight with their bows.
So to put it simple a new action for ranged attackers should be implemented called "hiding behind cover". With that a fight could look like a real gunfight where it's more important for the enemy sniper to get a good hiding place. It just hurts sometimes when an enemy carrying a M-24 rushes into my turrets.
