does anybody know what the stat IsDamageShared is for?

buffOverTimeActionType "DoDamage"
damageRate
Level:0 3.000000
Level:1 4.500000
Level:2 6.000000

erm , I think it has to do with the ability being used on 1 ship, and having the effects of that ability be shared on just 1 ship, or on all

Ok, now I got curious too.

I've changed it to false, to true and tested everything. It doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

Devs, do we get a hint?

I have tried both settings and it has no obvious effect. If i understand lordkosc correctly than in tne kol ability flak burst (at level 1) 30 damage would be divided between all targets affected by the ability. ie 3 targets 10 damage each.

instantAction
buffInstantActionType "DoDamage"
instantActionTriggerType "OnDelay"
delayTime 0.000000
damage
Level:0 30.000000
Level:1 45.000000
Level:2 60.000000
damageAffectType "AFFECTS_SHIELDS_AND_HULL"
damageType "PHYSICAL"
isDamageShared TRUE

If so than setting isDamageShared to false would mean that the ability would do the full 30 damage to all 3 targets. can anybody confirm?

what if its an advent ability to allow damage to be spread over your ships?
