*If a missile reaches its target, it will always do ''some'' damage. It is the speed of the explosion that helps determine how much ... not the speed of the missile. | *If a missile reaches its target, it will always do ''some'' damage.

*Unlike with turrets, the angular velocity of the target does not matter ''for computing damage''. The missile still has to get to the target, but once it arrives, damage is computed using the target's absolute velocity. | *Unlike with turrets, the angular velocity of the target does not matter ''for computing damage''.

*Because damage is related to both speed and Signature | *Because damage is related to both speed and Signature Radius, using a microwarp drive, which increases both speed AND Signature Radius, will not significantly reduce damage. Afterburners do not affect Signature Radius, however, and so could possibly help. | ||
