Does anybody know the equation used to calculate missile damage and where I find the required values? I know that there are calculators available to determine the damage, but I find that I understand the results better if I work them out manually.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Damage = D * MIN(1, Sr/Er, (Ev/V * Sr/Er)^(log(DRF) / log(5.5)) )

where D = base damage of the missile, Sr = signature radius of the target, Er = Explosion radius of the missile, Ev = Explosion Velocity of the missile, V = velocity of the target ship, DRF = damage reduction factor of the missile. MIN being a function that chooses the lower of two given vaules, and log being the natural logarithm of the given value.

The tl;dr: small fast targets take less damage from missiles.

In the attributes of the missile's description.

Edit: Sorry, that's in EFT. Um, otherwise I'd guess it's the target's resist to the damage type? Sad
