Line 251:

A Stasis Webifier can decrease the ships velocity (speed) by a percentage.<br>

Due to the fact that the usual MWD increases the ships signature and speed, these effects nullify each other. The missile damage on a target flying with MWD is essentially identical to the one flying without it, as the bigger signature radius offsets the faster speed.

Due to the fact that the usual MWD increases the ships signature and speed, these effects nullify each other. The missile damage on a target flying with MWD at maximum speed (!) is essentially (exceptions as mentioned above) identical to the one flying without it, as the bigger signature radius offsets the faster speed.

Keep in mind that this is only applicable to the most basic T1 MWD; T2 versions of the drive increase the velocity bonus without increasing the signature radius penalty which decreases the missile damage. The same goes for other effects that increase the velocity bonus of the MWD.

For afterburner this is not applicable since afterburners only increase the speed, but do not penalize the signature size.
