Make point defence effective against Thargons

Just a little thought I had yesterday while reading some other threads about Thargoids etc. While we have had the flak cannon introduced to assist with fighting the Thargoids - in particular the Thargon swarms - it occurred to me that it might be useful to also make point defence turrets effective, to a degree at least, against the Thargon swarms. Perhaps as an Engineer upgrade that uses some of these Thargoid materials we've been collecting? Perhaps, from a lore perspective, the use of such materials to mod the point defence turrets assists in enabling them to target Thargons? The point defence doesn't need to be absolutely accurate to the nth degree, but it might be a useful little addition to our arsenal?
 
You’d think that kinetic weapons would have some effect regardless of munition material. Advanced targeting and better materials for increased damage.

Of course that’s after you get through the shields.

yeah I was pretty bewildered that the thargons weren't at least knocked down a bit by point defense, not asking for extreme effectiveness, but some. I think point defense should take out maybe 2-4 thargons per pass. or about 2 thargons per reload.
