Overview

Integrated Point Defense AI is a hullmod that can be installed on any ship.

Notes

• The ignore flare behaviour is ship-wide, potentially including things like Devastator Cannon or Paladin PD System
• The target leading bonus appears to also be ship wide
• When S-Modded, all small non-missile weapons will have the property of point-defense and will benefit/suffer from PD bonuses and penalties including receiving the best possible target leading.
