I am a tad confuseled
Reading through the numerous threads concerning a certain ship and its supposed optimum setups there is a lot of talk of using Rigor Rigs to increase damage on small and fast targets like Frigs.
My confusion is because Rigors reduce the explosion radius of the missile, so surely this means the fast frig will avaoid more of the damage?
Flare's on the other hand increase explosion velocity, thus mitigating some of the speed of the frig.
Please sort this one out for me. Many Thanks in advance.

3x rigor rig and 2x PWNAGE fitted Raven is worth to try against smaller ships like frigs, destroyers and cruisers

Explosion radius of the missile is linked to the target's signature, Since the missile's damage is spread on its radius, if the explosion radius is bigger than the target's signature, not all of the damage will hit the target If the target's signature is bigger than the explosion radius, all the damage will hit the target. Since rigors reduce the explosion radius, you will hit more effectively the small targets
Now add to that a few formulas and you get it

The concept roughly working like this: The explosion velocity is the speed at which the explosion goes, if your target is faster than the explosion velocity, not all the damage will hit the target, if the target is slower, all the damage will hit it.
Again, add some formula and you will get the system as it works in the game

Thanks Rachael. I think I get it now.
