Defense bonuses don't protect against missiles. PD does, but gee, you *don't have any room*.
Because of my massively overwhelming, shattering, crushing firepower coupled with your complete inability to hit my ships.
Whoops, I noticed I neglected to enter the point defense on my design, so it ends up being this:
Crew/Bridge/Life ... 30t
x2 DUCs IV ......... 60t
x1 ECM I ........... 10t
x1 PD III .......... 20t
x3 Ion Engines ..... 30t
Net Wieght ......... 150t
*** THANK-YOU FOR SHOPPING PLEASE COME AGAIN ***
Let's check out what the defensive stats:
Escort hull bonus .......... 40%
Bezerker racial bonus ...... 10%
Ship Defense race bonus .... 30%
ECM I bonus ................ 20%
Net defense bonus .......... 100%
*** UNLESS YOU HAVE A TALISMAN FORGET ABOUT HITTING ANY OF MY SHIPS WITH DIRECT FIRE, EVER! ***
Missiles? *** TRY MY 15 PDs UNLOADING ONCE A TURN AT LEAST TWO TIMES BEFORE YOUR MISSILES HIT = YOU LOSE ***
So, what can you do against me?
Phase cannons? No sheilds + can't hit me anyway = GO HOME.
Torpedos? Can't hit me = TRY AGAIN
Fighters? Try my army of PDs = BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
Missiles? Try my army of PDs = YOU LOSE
Heavy sheilds / armor? Can't hit me + I can hit you = YOU LOSE AGAIN
