Is this modification possible.

You can't. All detonators' parameters are hardcoded. I've never found out what the xml schema is really for.

Below you have an example how the ShipPoisoning script may look.

function ShipCanBePoisoned(ship)
	pilot = ship:GetPilot();
  
  if not (GetCurrentLocation() == "x220") or not (GetCurrentLocation() == "Precursors") or not (GetCurrentLocation() == "DisonSphere") then
    if (pilot == nil) then
  		return FALSE;
  	else
      if (GetQuestLabel("warhead_type") == "depol") then
        ship:SetShield(0);
        ship:PlayFX("Depol.bfx");
        return FALSE;
      elseif (GetQuestLabel("warhead_type") == "blast") then
        return FALSE;
      else
        return TRUE;
      end;
    end;
  else
  	if (pilot == nil) then
  		return FALSE;
  	else
  		if (pilot:HavePerk("Alien")) then
  	    return FALSE;
  		else
  	    return TRUE;
  		end;
  	end;
  end;
end;

--function ShipCanBePoisoned(ship)
--	pilot = ship:GetPilot();
----  flight = pilot:GetFlight();
--  
--  if not (GetCurrentLocation() == "x220") or not (GetCurrentLocation() == "Precursors") or not (GetCurrentLocation() == "DisonSphere") then
--    if (pilot == nil) then
--  		return FALSE;
--  	else 
----  	(GetQuestLabel("warhead_type") == blast) then
--      ship:SetShield(0);
----      flight:Stop();
----      ship:ApplyImpulse(100, Vector3(0, 1, 0));
----      myfunction();
--      return FALSE;
----    else
----      return FALSE;
--    end;
--  else
--  	if (pilot == nil) then
--  		return FALSE;
--  	else
--  		if (pilot:HavePerk("Alien")) then
--  	    return FALSE;
--  		else
--  	    return TRUE;
--  		end;
--  	end;
--  end;
--end;

It's just an example what I've been working on (it's far from what I've expected). GetQuestLabel thing was conncted with special "swich" skill . Every use of that skill changes the missile "warhead" type so without changing missile type you can change the way it works.

The main problem is that this script is connected with every poison detonator you make. It's hard to find good ifs to make it works differently for each type of missile. To make it work like normal missile you have to set poisoning effect damage to 0 and time to something like 1s or even 0.1s.

Yea, I am trying to think of what info we can pull off the ship or from a global area that would help us but I am failing pretty hard at it.

I don't know exactly what you want to do but you can check through the scripts how the phrase "ship:" is used. You'll have an idea about functions working directly with ship like "ship:GetPilot()". Check this Manual too.
