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 is effective against HE and EMP missiles, but can also be used against mines and nukes, destroying them before they deal too much damage. As it is automated, it does not require crew to function, however crew members must still be able to access the interior to supply power. It can fire for 4 seconds before needing to be refilled again.
