An automated defensive system that shoots down enemy missiles and projectiles using super-heated plasma rounds. Can also inflict light damage to enemy ships.

The Point Defense System is an energy weapon that can be added to ships and stations. It rapidly responds and fires at incoming missiles and projectiles to destroy them before they can impact the ship. Being automated, they do not require a crew member to function, however they still need crew access in order to be supplied with power.
