So, only have half-range/have half-range be the max range for kinetics in this case?

If you increase the size of the installation to match the increased velocity in Spaceships this will amount to leaving the damage the same but reducing the ammo size/weight.

Again, literal range for kinetic weapons in space is infinite. The projectiles will travel until they hit something. How far the projectiles will travel before they become too easy to dodge is different but that's what will be important in combat.
