The '''Point Defence Turret''' is defensive [[Weapons|weapon]] equipment that can be mounted on the "utility mount". Once mounted, the Point Defence Turret will automatically shoot at [[Missile Rack|missiles]], [[Torpedo Pylon|torpedoes]] and [[Mine Launcher|mines]] for as long as it has power and ammunition. It also shoots any incoming [[Hatch Breaker Drone|Hatch Breaker Drones]]. The Point Defence Turret does need line of sight to shoot at any valid target. Due to line of sight limitations on many ships, multiple Point Defence Turrets may be needed for full coverage or alternatively, erratic corkscrewing and rolling flight paths may be used to rotate | The '''Point Defence Turret''' is defensive [[Weapons|weapon]] equipment that can be mounted on the "utility mount".

* 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. | * The Point Defence Turret requires both time and a clear line of sight to shoot down incoming targets.
