Signature radius: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The signature radius of your ship represents how large your ship is and, therefore, how difficult it is to hit with a weapon and to lock on to. You can find the signature radius of your ship under Show Info > Attributes > Targeting. Basically, a smaller signature radius makes you more difficult to hit and lock on to.

~~To determine how quickly a ship with a scanning resolution of X can lock a ship of signature radius Y, use~~ the ~~formula~~

Here is the equation for missile damage:

~~Some sources say that~~ the ~~number should be 10000, not 40000, but you can easily undock~~ in ~~a frigate and check that 40000 is indeed~~ the ~~correct number.
