Hugh ships and Assault missiles

By Dyslexic Dragon, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I have a question about assault missile hitting hugh ships. Is the area effect calculated from the area hit or the entire model? I would be thinking the area as if it was calculated from the model it is too much a damage buff. Which leads to my second question, would adjoining areas be damaged as well as they will also be in R1?

Range 1 is to be measured from the section that was hit, and the rules state the adjoining section is not affected by the splash damage.

Cool thanks :)
