Abwehran Missile Revisions

With the inclusion of new Missile Drives, I've also decided to balance the warheads a bit more. Instead of a single damage for all sized missiles, it would be best to vary it between ship types.

The Main Missile Page contains general information and a list of warheads by type. Many of the warheads on the lists have been revised to try and balance them out a bit. Because of this, the revised warheads will be listed here.

Antimatter Warhead
Fission Warhead
Fusion Warhead
High Explosive Warhead
Jamming Warhead
Laser Warhead

Edit: I almost forgot the launcher changes too.

Anti-Ship Launcher
Anti-Fighter Launcher
Micro Missile Cluster
Cruise Missile Launcher

Summary
Note here if any serious issues are present. These are the issues that will hold up approval.
** Short description of the issue. If a longer explanation is needed, put it in Notes.

Status: Not Approved , Pending , or Approved.

Notes
This field is for any extra description needed for the issues stated above or (as the name suggests) and additional notes you wish to state in the record regarding the item.

Why is the Fission Warhead for the Escort-equipped: 1 SDR on all the other pages they are equal to the Cruiser-equipped

Pages should have a link to the damage rating page like this or some variant

Code: 
==== Damage Capacity ====
//See [[:damage_rating]] for an explanation of the damage system.//


I intend to finish this review by: 28 Dec 2009
 
I'm sorry, but I don't understand the note you have left.

(If a military starship) URL of accompanying civilian ship is: Name of civilian ship

Could you explain what you are exactly looking for?
 
First why is the damage of the one missile so low

Why is the Fission Warhead for the Escort-equipped: 1 SDR

On all the other pages the Escort-equipped are equal to the Cruiser-equipped


Second the Pages should have a link to the damage rating page either using this Wiki code or some variation thereof.

Code: 
==== Damage Capacity ====
//See [[:damage_rating]] for an explanation of the damage system.//
 
Ah...well I edited everything except for the Fission DR.

I had the Escort-equipped Fission Warhead as a 1 SDR because I considered it to be a standard for all the other Fission Warheads. Since the usual DR for a Nuke is measured as 5 ADR or 1 SDR in the Damage Rating page, I thought it would be appropriate for the standard to equal the standard of the board.
 
Micro-missiles
On this page, Missiles you have three types of Micro-Missiles listed, but damage is only listed on the HE page.

Also on the ranges, you list Strike Craft, and Warships for the Micro-Missiles. On this page Micro Missile Launcher you list this as a Power Armor option, but you do not have the range identified. One must presume its the same as Strike craft.

There is no listing for AM missiles for Fighters, I presume that's intentional.

Antimatter Warheads
From the description it depends on the vials to hit the hull of the target to shatter them, a) wouldn't the explosion of the first one cause the others to shatter and explode in a chain reaction? b) If they don't shouldn't the damage then be a range eg: 1-3 SDR based on how many of the actual vials hit the hull?
 
I added Micro Missile items to the Fission and Fusion Warhead Articles.

The term Average Powered Missile Envelope is the range. This is mainly because the missile is launched under its own power rather than propelled by the actual launcher for the initial launch.

Yes, that is intentional. Added AM missiles to fighters isn't a good idea because AM missiles for the Abwehrans are large, too large to be equipped to a fighter.

A) Yes, the explosion of the first would cause the others to detonate. This means the vials could explode outside the target hull in a splash damage effect or some vials may not even make it to the ship hull.

B) Which means it may have to be a 1-3 or 3-5 change depending upon the size of the missile and the vials anyway. But are ranges between DRs okay? I thought that was frowned upon.
