It isn't actually neccessary to put anything besides PDC on the ship, you simply click the "stats/strategy" option in the design window(under "hide obsolete") and change the ship strategy from "Don't Get Hurt" to "Optimal Weapons Range", "Short Weapons Range", "Point BLank", etc. IMO Point Blank is the best strategy but I play with massive amounts of highly disposable cheap crappy ships and units and so I don't actually need to worry about KEEPING anything that I build, it's all supposed to go suicide anyway

What Capn is talking abou there is the bug where an all PDC ship will run for th ecorners even if it has a strategy of point blank, or optimal or anything like that.

It has something to do with the fact that the game doesn't actually consider PDC as a weapon for the purposes of strategy.

If you have found a way to workaround that, by all means let us know. But it's not as simple as giving your ship a strategy other than "Don't get hurt".
