I was running some tests in Multiplayer on the Shattered Skies server, before switching over to Single Player to better Spawn in targets and Test platforms.
What I had discovered, is that Explosive Effect is having NO Effect on the AoE of a fired missile (Or missiles), even when changing the damage per missile to more than easilly kill all blocks inside the radius that it describes in the Weapons Menu.
All of these Craters were created with a 4900 block arrays of different combinations with and without Explosive effect and Damage Beam; it doesnt matter which made what, as each are an Identical 12 blocks radius explosions, Which ties in to what is seen as a Standard missile detonation:
However, Explosive Effect clearly states that it Boosts the radius of a missile detonation to 22:
I have yet to test Missile+ Pulse, But im sure that this isnt the current intended behaviour of missiles. Either missiles+ Effect are bugged, or this is the intended result, and the Radius Explosion number is showing incorrect.
[DOUBLEPOST=1440352346,1440350753][/DOUBLEPOST]Also just tested with Missile+Pulse then With or Without Explosive Effect
Target blocks are 100x100, Left is Without EXP effect, right is With EXP effect. Since the EXP effect "Supposedly" adds +10 radius to the explosion (Just like the weapons tab details say for normal missile variants), this would make the total exceed 100 diameter and would almost entirely destroy the block that was hit. I should mention that this was the same ship as before, firing at a New single ship of 2 panels.
I am also rather new to this forum bug thing. So I am unsure if what I am doing is correct
