You should have the articles say that you _always_ want to have 1 or 2 PDCs on your ships no matter what the enemy is currently using. This section implies that it is ok not to use PDCs if your enemy isn't using missiles and such. But, doing so would leave you very vulnerable to a sudden change of tactics (I have seen many players in PBW fall into such traps).

Nothing, really. Stock SE4's weapons are not very well balanced.  The only RPS that comes in is whether you research PPBs before or after ECM and Combat Sensor IIs. Someone with more advanced ECM and CS using DUCs can slaughter your fleet armed with PPBs because their ships will be hit much less often than yours will be.
