{{Example | Example 1:

The Heavy Missile has a MVF of 0.648.

The Drake has 140 m/s speed and a signature radius of ~~285~~ m.

The Drake has 140 m/s speed and a signature radius of 295 m.

The required speed is therefore ~~184~~.68. (''~~285~~ * 0.648'')

The required speed is therefore 191.16. (''295 * 0.648'')

Since the speed of the Drake (140 m/s) is below the required speed (~~184~~.68 m/s), the speed does not affect the missile damage. The damage is determined by 1, the lowest of the three factors and the missile does full damage.}}

Since the speed of the Drake (140 m/s) is below the required speed (191.16 m/s), the speed does not affect the missile damage. The damage is determined by 1, the lowest of the three factors and the missile does full damage.}}

{{Example | Example 2:

The Heavy Missile has a MVF of 0.648.

The Drake fits a 10MN ~~Afterburner I~~, increasing ~~the~~ speed ~~by 125%, the maximum speed is 157.5 m~~/s; signature size is unchanged.

The Drake fits a 10MN meta afterburner, increasing top speed to 273m/s; signature size is unchanged.

The required speed stays the same. ~~The~~ damage is ~~determined again by 1 as both other options are greater than 1~~. ~~The Drake again takes full~~ damage.}}

The required speed stays the same. As the drake is now significantly faster than the required speed (273m/s vs 191.16m/s) some damage is lost (the missile does approximately 72.6% of maximum damage).}}

{{Example | Example 3:

The Heavy Missile has a MVF of 0.648.

The Drake fits a ~~10MN~~ Microwarpdrive I, increasing ~~the~~ speed ~~by 500%, the maximum speed is 700 m~~/s, signature radius ~~is increased by 500%~~ to ~~1425 m~~.

The Drake fits a 50MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive, increasing top speed to 675m/s and signature radius to 1622.5m.

Required speed is therefore changed to ~~923~~.4 (''~~1425~~ * 0.648'')

Required speed is therefore changed to 1051.38m/s (''1622.5 * 0.648'')

Since the speed of the Drake with a MWD (~~700 m~~/s) is below the required speed (~~923~~.4 m/s), the speed does not affect the missile damage. The damage is determined by 1, the damage is 100% of the possible damage and it is no different than the damage the ship receives without the MWD.}}

Since the speed of the Drake with a MWD (675m/s) is below the required speed (1051.38 m/s), the speed does not affect the missile damage. The damage is determined by 1, the damage is 100% of the possible damage and it is no different than the damage the ship receives without the MWD.}}
