    Hi, MIRV or multiple independently forgettable reentry vehicle is a missile payload containing several warheads, so why it's space is +100%? You also need some level of miniaturization (it's not described), so maybe you can reduce its space (for example +25%) with the required level 2 minimization?

    also in all weapon modes it would be good to describe the required level of miniaturization. This is not always the case now.

    MIRV requires level 2 miniaturization. Once you've acquired level 2 miniaturization, you will no longer see the message showing what is required as it has already been unlocked. Here is a screenshot showing a Polaris Missile with the miniaturization requirements listed for MIRV. The relevant text is in yellow.

    All modifications benefit from miniaturization already. The base space and cost of the weapon are reduced, and the modification space and costs are applied to the reduced value, not the original value.

    At miniaturization level 2, you unlock MIRV, but the base space is reduced by 65%, so you are already benefiting from miniaturization.

    At miniaturization level 3, you are reducing the base space usage of the weapon by 50%. MIRV increases that reduced space by 100%. This essentially means at miniaturization level 3, you are getting the weapon at it's original base space but with 4x the damage as long as you can avoid PD and hit the target. Only the cost is slightly increased. You can see that effect in the screenshots below.

    MIRV is a very strong missile mod and well worth the current space and cost increase.

    Once it has been unlocked, it will not state what the requirement is to unlock it anymore. Could this be what you are experiencing, or do you have examples of weapons that have not unlocked their mod yet but don't say what level is required to do so? Please let us know. Thank you.

    Well, thanks for the info, but it is not described in that way.

    Heavily armoured has a "white" description of the level of miniaturization, so I thought that something is missing in other mods captions.
