Default Re: Point Defense

Based on the information you've provided I assume we're talking the Balance Mod here...

PD Blasters are half the size of PD Cannons. They start out a bit weaker than PD Cannons, but towards their max level they do more damage per kT than PD Cannons. The PD Beam is more accurate and hits almost instantaneously - may help avoid PD overkill.

Bomblet Missiles use ordnance and can be shot down by point defense, while Flak Cannons don't use any ordnance and can't be shot down.

If you have the room to place multiple PD components, then it's a good idea to go with a layered approach mixing up long and short range PD. This helps to spread your PD fire against multiple targets.

He could be talking about Devnull. I just realised it has the same PD stuff.
