Hi all,
since a couple of days I've been trying to integrate packhounds into some of my builds, e.g. on my Corvette - armed trader. Due to the fact, that I want to defend myself against hatch breaker limpets, missiles and probably even reverb torps, I have installed a pair of PDTs. I find, the frags are not that usefull for such defensive purposes on a Vette, because they are weapons of rather short rage and Vette is quite long. The spread and so on. The Pacifiers are availaible only as class 3, so also not a real option. In total the frags would not be my choice to kill opponents torps or missiles in this case.
As far as I understand from the description, PDTs shoot at every missile/torp in range, so even at my own launching munitions. Is that right? Is the intention something like: "if you want to kill the opponents with missiles, you also should not be defend yourself from those" ?. I've not use the missiles since my career start two years ago. At that time they was not very efficient for me and I even haven't had Horizons (so no engineering). So I've not really tracked their development until now.
And the second question is, of course, after all the updates, nerfs and buffs: how effective is a PDT nowadays? Lets assume, I have two Packhound-Racks and my opponent has two PDTs, one on dorsal and one on ventral side. How many of my 8 missiles will reach my opponent?
Thanks in advance!
