Defining Explosion slices for improved performance

Lafiel

Not all explosions may need to cover the whole area which could also be occupied by the player ship. It would be nice to be able to define for example the inner radius and outer radius for a ring. Then the explosion calculation would just ignore the undefined area. This might be able to improve performance for some cases.

You mean an explosion that doesn't damage anything within a certain radius? What would you actually use that for?

I would for example be able to upgrade the "expanding sphere generator" without having to rely on costly weapons.
