PDCs not working well

[Quellcrest]

Maybe I'm missing something, but PDCs don't seem to be useful at all.  I made a creative game, spawned in a ship with like  30 PDCs and a torpedo enemy ship. Torpedos hit me almost every time, even if I'm looking right at the damn thing. Enemies on the other hand, they can shoot down my torpedos in like half a second.

 

Am I doing something stupid or are they broken?

[Ravien]

Stupid question but did you set your PDCs to shoot torpedoes?

[Quellcrest]

Ya, they're auto defensive or whatever, torpedos and fighters. I can see them hitting the torpedos, but the torps just seem to take a zillion hits and then just explode on my ship/shields.

 

After that I even went in and changed the scripts for pdcs to make the damage 100x more. They still don't successfully destroy the torpedos, for me at least. Enemies can still shoot theirs down no problem.

 

Difficulty setting was on difficult. I didn't try disabling any mods, but then again none of the mods should have affected pdcs. I'll do that later.

Especially with your Custom Script changes this Sounds like a bug to me.

Try it without any mods and if that does not work consider a bug report....

My point defense works well.  I built them at a factory and they do over 20dps with trinium.

 

The quality (dps, range, velocity) of your point def turrets (and their placement) is important.

Good tips, but don’t worry, Phezzan. This guy’s issue was caused by a mod.
