2.4.2.03. Point Defense. Example: (Point-Defense Cannons I-V). Automatically fire at seekers, fighters, satellites, and drones when in weapon range.(Stone Mill,Capnq)

PDC's do NOT fire automatically at drones, nor do they automatically fire at satellites. I do know that they can be manually fired on satellite Groups. I don't remember if they can target drones, though. Somebody will have to check.

When firing PDC's manually from a ship that is armed with other weapon types, the order in which you attack your targets does matter. On ships not equipped with Multiplexing components, firing the PDC's at the satellite group prevents you from firing your direct fire/missile weapons at a different target on the same turn. However, if you fire your direct fire/missile weapons at the other target first, you may still fire the PDC's at the satellite group afterwards.
