Defender missiles as everyone knows are useless. so instead just make them very specific such as an anti bomb missile. large fleets have a hard time defending against massive waves of bombers. You can see the results in the largest space battle in eve's history. it wouldn't be a rock paper scissors but it "could" dampen the incoming dps enough to save your fleet or ship from being completely alpha'd. it would give those command ships and a few other ships with a spare high-slot some extra use.

Red! You're alive!

Also, not a bad idea. Anything would be better than what they are now... almost as bad as Auto-Targeting missiles.

How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp.

I always thought defender missiles should be probes that when launched interfere with missile guidance systems. Just like flares in real life. However, I'm not sure the game needs this.

it needs to be a mid slot like TD's ... a counter to bombs would be useful ... perhaps they could be used like a proximity defense perimeter ... so any incoming fire or ships that are unfriendly and a set of missiles are fired in an omni direction around the ship upto a certain distance to be decided.

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Making a full counter would break the usefullness of stealth bombers. they should still be able to alpha everything off the field in my opinion given how difficult it can be to coordinate an invisiable fleet.
