You can make a nasty "Marked for Death" perk and deliver it to anyone caught in the explosion radius. Possibilities are countless.

that could fix my problem. But I can't seem to find these properties you're discussing in the shippoisoning script. It seems like all that does is tell the game whether or not a ship can be poisoned and the rest is hard coded in the poisondetonator just like anything else.

I mean, I suppose i could make a poisondetonator which did a lot of damage for like 1 second in a very small radius. But then missiles would penetrate shields and you couldn't shoot them at aliens.

edit: XML schema seems to indicate that the poisondetonator is just as hardwired as the rest.

What would be interesting is if i could create a sub extension off of poisondetonator or distance detonator in order to do what I want. Or if i could add another parameter to the schema of impactdetonator and have the game actually use it.
