PSB, I believe, is the inate ECM that is below the abstracted level of
the game that throws off or decoys the missiles that miss. I think
someone
mentioned earlier in this thread similar, that and/or the missiles were
taken out with a point-defense suite too small to be reflected or
tracked
in the abstracted level of FT. I personally don't go for the latter, but
I can easily subscribe to the former. And then when the "real" ECM rules
get hammered out properly, those would be the "larger" ECM generators
(or
whatnot) that can be tracked at the resolution of FT.

My two bits worth,
