Point Defense
Layers of point defense
A effective missile point defense system requires 3 layers to defend a fleet properly from the inevitable missile's attacks.
PD Missiles:
These are Missiles to counter Missiles, your first screening of incoming missiles is made with these.
Ship mounted turrets:
With a small rail gun, laser, meson cannon mounted you can have a high tracking speed medium ranged weapon for Missile Interception.
CIWS:
Close In Weapon System's are your final firing system against missiles. By the time that Missiles reach this point you should have very few missiles left to intercept, hence this layer of your defenses may see very little use or be overwhelmed.
