Flak

[Tortured_Soul]

Re-reading yep, looks like I missed that.

The only way to solve that is to reduce the damage or the explosive radius.

'Cause of the way that explosions are dealt with in FL any 'active' object within the radius will recieve the full amount of damage of the explosion. 'Active' objects include, Ships Main Body, Ships Extra Addons (such as wings), Ship Equipment (including Shields, Weapons, Minelayers, CM Launchers, Thrusters, anything with a mounting point) and obviously destroyable barrels and debris.

That means that if the ship getting hit has the Main Body, and four destroyable wings (don't include equipment, they all have thier own health and don't effect ship damage) then the full amount of damage you'l recieve will be 10000 x 5 = 50000 hit points.

Like I've already said, reduce the damage, reduce the explosive radius, reduce the proximity exposion (the distance that it blow's up form it's target) or make it much much harder for flak turrets to hit fighters (by seriously reducing the rate at which the turret turns).

That's my take on it. But by definition Flak, is supposed to cover a large area, it's just been in the FL engine as best Igiss could do.
