thanks. that clears it out. Useful button indeed.
I'll test it with planets, seems promising.

As for the PDC i still dont see how defensive fire is different from offensive fire in the proccess itself - targeting is still targeting, and it doesnt matter why you target - to shoot, to defend or just for fun!

CapnQ: lol yeah, i was the second or third

How's this for a rationalization: offensive PDC fire involves manually overriding the normal automated defensive targeting computer.
