General Discussion / Re: Question: High Energy Focus and Dragonfire DEMs
« on: March 26, 2024, 03:37:01 AM »To give more details, missile damage modifiers are applied at the moment the DEM starts firing its targeting laser. So if you have a modded ship system that temporarily boosts missile damage, use it right before the DEM gets in range.Does HEF work in similar way like if I fire a plasma cannon shot during HEF but the system ends before it can hit something does the damage bonus get removed, or can it boost the damage of any plasma shots that were already fired if I activate it afterwards?
To quote the wiki:
Quote from: https://starsector.wiki.gg/wiki/High_Energy_Focus
The damage bonus is applied when the weapon is firing. This means energy projectile weapons need to have the system active prior to firing to get the bonus, as opposed to when the projectile hits
So as I understand, damage bonus doesn't get removed if it ends before the shot hits, but also it doesn't boost the damage of shots which are fired before activating HEF. Only the shots fired during HEF get the damage boost.
