Thanks again, Phoenix-D

Okay, all three PD Versions (PDC, mini-PD, and AFM) have different family numbers and they all show up.
What I still don't get is which one is chosen by the minister. If it was highest damage like you said, then AFM I (50 dmg) would not be replaced by mini-PD II (15 dmg), but it is.
So I thought the minister would use the higher roman numeral over damage (mini-PD II replacing AFM I), but this opens the question why normal PDC is not added in the first place, since it has an even higher roman numeral (PDC IV is available when mini-PD II is).
Very confusing....
Rollo *unable to find a pattern*
edit:
Wow, it gets even more confusing. Mini-PD II is replacing AFM I ONLY on designs that carry normal PDC as well (using the mine sweeping). Designs that carried AFM I as the only point-defense weapon will keep them. After fighters are researched (and AFM II and III become available) the mini-PD II gets replaced again with AFM III. I *think* I am beginning to see a pattern, but right now I see two solutions: A) not worry about it anymore, B) give both the mini-PD and the AFM useless abilities.
edit again: why do keep writing ASM for anti-fighter-missiles? It should be AFM. Anyway, I have corrected that (in this and previous Posts)
