Default Re: PD too Powerfull?

This does get somewhat better in BalanceMod. PD vs. missiles is decently balanced there, but PD vs. fighters is still a slaughter (bye-bye, fighters).

The only solution I've been able to come up with is making PD not affect fighters and have a new anti-fighter type of defense that makes fighters viable in swarms.

As it is now, a swarm of fighters against a decently armored frigate with 1 PD will die a quick death and not do a lot to the frigate. The frigate CAN be overwhelmed with enough fighters, but it takes a lot of them.

I haven't played stock in a while, though, so I don't remember how effective PD vs. missiles and/or fighters is there.
