It appears the added explosion damage from destroyed ships and modules added in the 4.10 beta has some serious issues.
After tens of hours in a week of keeping tabs on teladi ship technology station being assaulted by Xenon I and K ships in Turquoise Sea IX. (Yes, prior to the patch)
I went to take a look at the situation first hand. (Post patch)
Due to IS combat mechanics being different from OOS combat, things improved for the Xenon slightly while there.
There appeared to be a signifigant regeneration effect (Destroyed modules being rebuilt without a construction ship) acting on the station which explains the week long siege.
At one point, there were 4 K's (One, a recent addition to the battle) and an I at 40% shield and full health
A station module was destroyed...
Not the first in the battle, but for practical purposes, the last.
All 4 K's and the I died, as well as any fighters that weren't far out in a slingshot/boomerang trajectory.
This is all kinds of broken on several levels.
1) The blast wave doesn't affect the station.
2) The blast wave does WAY too much damage.
3) The blast wave has WAY too much range.
4) Inverse Square law for drop off of damage probably doesn't apply given the results.
5) The damage increased versus the prior module destruction after the 4th K showed up suggesting potentially a link to number of nearby targets.
I'm not sure what the problems are exactly but these results are not exactly what I'd call reasonable. There is good reason to assume these results are not as intended.
I think it's worth a look.

This should be placed in the beta feedback folder.

Re: 4.10 Beta Game Breaking explosion damage bug.
I am pretty sure the developers are aware of this, given that a large number of beta players have reported similar experiences.
