This proofs that fitting an MDW, <b>contrary to popular believe</b>, can increase the missile damage a ship takes.

This happens if the ship without the MWD is above the required speed to reduce the missile but the ship with the MWD is below the required speed, which is increased due to the signature radius increase.
This happens if the ship without the MWD is above the required speed to reduce the missile but the ship with the MWD is below the required speed (which is now higher since the signature increased)


Due to the specific relations between signature radius and maximum velocity of a ship, the specific situation usual only occurs at battlecruiser size ships.

Smaler ships are too fast and will always exceed the minimum required speed, even with an MWD, bigger ships will always be too slow to reach the required minimum speed to avoid damage without an MWD.
