Re: Waging war in SE5
Point defense is close to useless in the stock game unless present in overwhelming numbers. Right now the AI does not build enough point defense on WPs or Bases and I have not seen any on ships. I also have not seen an AI ship armed with anything other than a DUC. This makes missile based ships with sufficient ordnance storage very overpowered. As an example one FG with 3 CSMs and 650 points of ordnance attacked a planet and destroyed the 6 defending Destroyers and 2 Starbases
I think that the Balance Mod addresses the PD issue, but maybe too far the other way. In V1.08 of the stock game PD is still very weak.
