Re: SE4: Point defense ships, like in WW2. Good i
Point defense ships are extremely useful if you're controlling everything in tactical combat. Loading up a smaller hull like a Destroyer or a Light Cruiser with Point Defense can free up a lot of space on your heavier ships for bigger weapons.
Unfortunately they're almost completely useless if you're using strategic combat or if the AI is controlling your battles. Even if you put a single non-Point Defense weapon on your PtDef ships so they don't just run away, the AI can't understand how to use them. You're better off including PtDef on your main battle ships.
