If you mod Point-Defense so that it targets ships instead of seekers/sats/fighters/drones, that it will function like a direct fire weapon instead of like a point-defense weapon (ie, it won't automatically fire when a ship gets into range, but will fire during your ships combat turn instead).

This is also correct. There is currently no way to give a weapon "opportunity fire" except against units. Whatever check the program goes through when deciding whether to fire PDC only takes place when units move into range, not when ships do.
