Re: Ship weapon loadout
You're whole point of making the enemy paranoid is irrelevant. You do not need to go crazy with PDC to counter both missiles and fighters, 2-3 per ship plus a few ships loaded with PDC to fighter-hunt, will do quite nicely, and has a minimal effect on your economy. Even adding an extra PDC to have 4 on larger ships has little to no real effect on your economy or fighting power. Now, if you do something silly like have 8 PDC on all of your ships, that will ruin you, but not because of the fighters having been successful, but because you made some really poor decisions. Fighters and missiles take a lot more resources than a few extra PDC do, and the extra PDC are more effective per unit of resource at countering fighters or missiles (or both) than the fighters + carriers or missiles are at overcoming the PDC.
