True; Point Defense Beam has a better to-hit 55-70, but the power is primarily a extremely small fraction to that of the PDC. 65 PDC vs 17 PDb

As Narrew asked for the best way to set up a multipurpose escort ship to combat against Seekers, Sats and Fighters, he/you may find level 4 or 5 PDCs, still your best choice

I have nothing constructive to add to this conversation. I just have to respond to this though...

Oleg, I never put much credence on the Proportions Point Defense Beam, so I took your suggestion.

Thanks, I was wrong.

Now there will be at least one PDb on my escorts. They never miss the fighters, and they do shore up my PDC Escorts arsenal.
