   Nor AMTs, true.  Fighters should probably avoid area effect weapon
users at
 all costs.

   Don't they typically exceed the number of available of PDS as well?

   True, although your ship can fire on their fighters as well.  Of
course if
 you're getting attacked by fighters *and* ordinance in overwhelming
numbers,
 then whether you have PDS or fighters isn't your problem, it's that you
don't
 have enough of either.  :-)
   I doubt if this is a world beating tactic.  On the other hand, it
could be
 a useful tactic for large vessels against the right opponents.
