Usually such ships end up in one end of the battle while my other ships get slautered by missiles few sectors away. Making ships to stay in formation helps but it introduce even more troubles. Now I simply put extra PDC on every ship just to be safe !

I wouldn't say you are a bad player, just maybe not using enough of them. You are right about the AI combat. To counter that I'd suggest more then one PDC ship per fleet. Three or four for a decent sized fleet should give you a good chance of having one in the right place.

Of course putting some on every ship works too.
