There is still a problem with point defense: If missiles come from the opposite side of the planet, satellites with point defense cannons may not be able to stop attacking missiles and fighters that target the planet. Weapon mounts do not affect point defense cannons. The only possibility I see is to make a special PDC, that can be used only with sats and has an increased range.
Even better, make a PDC mount (Yes, you can make a mount specifically for PDC) just for sats, WPs, and bases. Give it extra damage and range then reduce the default PDC somewhat. Ships will have a harder time defending against missiles while fixed defenders will be stronger. Doesn't this make good sense? Wouldn't a non-mobile sat, WP, or base have just as much reason to have more accurate and more powerful PDC as main weapons?
