I was under the impression that effects like Assault Missile or Harpooned only blast out from one section, but I may be misinformed. When to use the full ship versus only one section has never been clear to me, and I'm not certain it's especially well-documented. :/

If this does splash from the entire ship's base, then a huge ship would be a nice victim if its buddies were anywhere near. Same goes with Ion Torpedoes, Assault Missiles, etc. But as Desmothenes mentioned, a Decimator or Jumpmaster or Falcon etc is more likely to be surrounded by allies at range 1, since they don't explode on touch.
