Q and Answer

Hello all, I know someone made a mod that had the AI build a rather large number of point defense cannons on it's hulls. What is the point of having more PDC's then you have the ability to target multiple targets?

2) Does anyone know if climate improvement plants stack?

Thanks Terrik

If you have more PD cannons then you can target,t hey are actually useful.

Some very large fighter Groups take more than one PD shot to kill them you know!

If you have 8 PD cannons, thats pretty reasonably for a Dreadnough or Baseship IMO.

Also, I was thinking that PD cannons don't actaully conform to multiple targetting rules. I read it some where. . .

1) The point-defense cannons are not affected by the target number restrictions like the rest of the weapons. That means you can shoot 5 targets if you have 5 point-defenses even if you don't have multiplex tracking component on ship.

2) They do stack.
