Is "partial Charge Damage" A Thing?

[Qeveren]

Didn't see this addressed anywhere, so I'm curious.  Say I have a melee weapon with a charge time of 1.5 seconds (gah), and I start charging for a swing... and then let it go at 1.25 seconds instead of waiting for it to go off on its own after the full period.  Does this do fractional charge damage, or is it counted as just a normal melee attack?

It'll just counted as a normal attack.

I SWEAR the Paris can partially charge a shot. Everyone tells me it cant, but I consistently see three different white numbers when I'm rushed.

 

Melee definitely reverts to a normal attack if you don't charge long enough.

 

Your confusion may come from the use of the Reflex Coil mod, which allows you to do exactly what you are talking about and still get a charge attack.

 

For example you have a 2 sec charge speed on the Scindo, and +50% charge speed from the Reflex Coil mod. If you release the charge anywhere between the 1.3333 sec and 2 sec mark, you will still get a charged attack.
