Point Defence Turret: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

* Will shoot at all missiles and mines.

* The bullets appear to be green and fire in a three round burst.

* As of v1.3, missile and torpedo damage to shields has been greatly reduced, reducing the usefulness of Point Defence Turrets on ships that are equipped and flown to always maintain shielding. However, once a ship's shields are down, Point Defense Turrets become very important for reducing damage, as unshielded ships will take significant damage from missile and torpedo impacts.

* The Point Defence Turret requires both time and a clear line of sight to shoot down incoming targets. Missiles and Torpedoes fired at close range, at angles with limited or no line of sight, and in large enough quantities have a decent chance of not being shot down.

* ~~As of 1.6 or 2.2 for Horizon owners, explosive damage has been buffed greatly~~ against ~~shields, making missiles and torpedoes much more deadly and useful, thus PDT now have a much more effective role. Many AIs~~ have ~~also been using Dumbfire missiles which PDTs will shoot at. With~~ the ~~Engineers update, torpedoes in particular have been given the possible upgrade Reverberating Cascade which allows torpedoes~~ to ~~overload and damage~~ shield ~~generators, making PDTs even more important as~~ a ~~defence against this weapon~~.

* Point Defense Turrets provide an important defence against Reverberating Cascade Torpedoes (Reverberating Cascade Torpedoes have the added effect of directly causing damage to a ships' shield generator when striking a shielded ship).
