I was meaning to throw out one more comment on this subject. By the rules, all
hardpoint mounted weapons are automatically considered to be equipped with point
defense capability (see the paragraph with the costs for PD modules in Ref's
Book)
Now, I have not noticed anywhere that the MT rules spell out what a PD weapon
can do, but you would need quite a few bombers to overwhelm a ship with even a
couple of turrets bearing. (Not to mention that 500km or so estimated
atmospheric range for a 250MW ship's laser.
