Would you change the range at which ships drop each other out of
spelljamming speed?

I like this idea.  It makes visiting strange planets more exciting if
you can have atmospheric duels between ships and flying creatures,
ala Flash Gordon.

Say, what is the logic behind heavy ballistae and catapults having
shorter ranges than light ballistae and catapults?  I can see larger
crew requirements and slower loading, not to mention slower to
turn, but shorter range?

Very cool idea for a spelljammer ship!
