Excuse me but what are these "primary weapons" that can target missiles ???

I am going to mull this one over. I am positive I acheaved the effect I am talking about but now I am not sure how I acheived it. I did send in a wave of OK now I remember. You send in Fighters at the same combat speed as your Ships and the enemy ships fire at them before they fire at your ships. Yes I think that's it. Plus your fighters are designed to take punishment so that some do survive the the point defense weapons.

Aah ! Fighters, yes it is a different matter. Massed up fighter stacks traveling with the same speed as ships can be a killer setup. Your opponent MUST set "do not fire on fighters = true" But then he must overload ships with PDC and watch out for heavy beams ships behind.
