Defense bonuses don't protect against missiles. PD does, but gee, you *don't have any room*.

Because of my massively overwhelming, shattering, crushing firepower coupled with your complete inability to hit my ships.

Whoops, I noticed I neglected to enter the point defense on my design, so it ends up being this:

Crew/Bridge/Life ... 30t
x2 DUCs IV ......... 60t
x1 ECM I ........... 10t
x1 PD III .......... 20t
x3 Ion Engines ..... 30t

Net Wieght ......... 150t

*** THANK-YOU FOR SHOPPING PLEASE COME AGAIN ***

Let's check out what the defensive stats:

Escort hull bonus .......... 40%
Bezerker racial bonus ...... 10%
Ship Defense race bonus .... 30%
ECM I bonus ................ 20%

Net defense bonus .......... 100%

*** UNLESS YOU HAVE A TALISMAN FORGET ABOUT HITTING ANY OF MY SHIPS WITH DIRECT FIRE, EVER! ***

Missiles? *** TRY MY 15 PDs UNLOADING ONCE A TURN AT LEAST TWO TIMES BEFORE YOUR MISSILES HIT = YOU LOSE ***

So, what can you do against me?

Phase cannons? No sheilds + can't hit me anyway = GO HOME.

Torpedos? Can't hit me = TRY AGAIN

Fighters? Try my army of PDs = BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

Missiles? Try my army of PDs = YOU LOSE

Heavy sheilds / armor? Can't hit me + I can hit you = YOU LOSE AGAIN
