How exactly does the defender missile work? If you launch it too early will it still kill a bomb? Is it basically a FoF where it goes out and kills a bomb in any direction? What if one bomb is like 10k off your left side and that bomb gets blown up by someone elses defender while your missile was enroute, does your missile turn around and go to the bomb that is 10k off to your right side next?

If I win please Evemail me.

All of your questions were answered by ccp in the thread about this

Missile picks a random target once it is launched

If no target is in range it does nothing but still enters cool down

It will not pick another target of its target is killed

If you blow your load too early with the DICKS, it will start the cycle and do nothing. You can't re-use it until it finish it's cycle.

If will target a "random" bomb which can be in any direction.

If the targeted bomb is destroyed by another DICKS, no new target is selected. Your cycle is wasted and you wait for it to finish before you can use it again.
