Since Era shares a server with other playerworlds that already hog cpu clock cycles there isn't a lot of room for things like that.
(To put "5 percent" into perspective, at any time the most resource intensive script on Era is usually taking up less than 1 percent of the cpu. Sometimes explosions will jump to 2-3 percent temporarily if people are setting off a LOT of p4s at once, but usually your computer will freeze/crash from client lag before you can create enough explosions to cause server lag).
I'm pretty sure the projectiles have their own object array. But it's still a resource intensive thing to do
