I know that the formulas for this stuff has been posted many times, but despite being fairly astute in math equations written out in plain text make my brain hurt, so I'm hoping someone who already knows can enlighten me.

Microwarpdrives generally give a 500% increase in both velocity and signature radius. Do both of these values scale the same way for the purpose of calculating missile damage?

Let's assume that the incoming missiles have a larger explosion radius than your signature radius even after the MWD increase, so all of the sig radius increase will result in more incoming missile damage.

Disregarding skills/rigs that increase explosion velocity/reduce explosion radius for the moment, would this mean that the MWD has no net effect on incoming missile damage since your velocity has increased by the same factor as your signature radius? In other words, does the 500% velocity increase reduce incoming missile damage by the same amount as the 500% sig radius increase has increased incoming damage?

It does cancel itself out for missile damage application if you have no navigation skills trained. But acceleration control skill tilts that balance quite a bit in damage reduction favor. Also Faction/Deadspace modules have less impact on sig.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

I still don't understand what the , denotes in an equation despite looking it up
