Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

Just for clarification though Pvk (or anyone who knows) this will not prevent your PDC from firing on seekers that get into range on there own right? It will only prevent seeker hunting, or milling about correct? I am asking, cause I just want to be sure.

In my test games PDCs still fired on incoming missiles but that was definitely no hunting, just short range defense.

Just as a note,
I just went into the Empire Status/Strategies menu for one of my races that I have set an AI_Strategies file for, and the settings do both match. Hence, my earlier play tests when I kept changing the AI_stategies.txt settings (including the seekers=True modification which I posted earlier) should have made a difference, except.....

I'm now just wondering whether I shut the game down and reloaded the turn, or whether I just simply reloaded the turn.
It does make a difference of course as some files are only read during the game startup whilst others seem to be read when called upon.

I have just have completed a number of tests that confirm that strategies settings changes dont take effect unless the game is shut down and reloaded. Simply reloading the turn is not enough (I know this also to be true for AI_Research files as well).
