I want to play fairly defensive and was wondering to what degree people and NPC's use missiles and how effective defender missiles are in sstopping these?

Missiles are highly effective as an offensive weapon, especially in pve. They have some issues in pvp but that is beyond the scope of this. Few players equip defender missiles. They are a pain to use and in many cases just not worth giving up a launcher slot for. Better off for the most part having another offensive bay to shoot at the other guy. Remember, reduing hull to 0% inflicts a 100% dammage debuff :)

Currently defender missiles suck. The can only defend you, not your gang mates. They can only be activated when an enemy missile is already in flight. Unless you are duking it out long range with a torpedo spanner, then it is pretty much useless. Even if you are in such a fight, the decease in damage you receive doesn't justify the decrease in damage that you deal.

Yep defenders suck as is... now if they made them automatic and give them a percentage to stop incomining missiles based off your skill in them and other mods, up to a max of 75% for the best.. then they might be worth it. But as they are implemented now... not worth the hassle.

The really annoying thing is that even if you do manage to score a hit with a defender missile, it doesn't take out the incoming weapon, it only reduces the damage done. So you're sacrificing a highslot for a failure-prone reduction in incoming damage from a specific damage type.
While it would be rather cool for defender missiles to be made useful, attack missiles are nerfed enough as it is, without putting in an effective missile-specific defence.

Having only tried PVE I can honestly say defender are cr*p, as already said defender can only be used when an incoming missile is on its way, due to the fact that NPC's release them at max range - close range and release a few at a time, by the time your defender is ready missiles aer already hitting you.
In PVE, you are best using the slot for a launcher, use a missle bonus ship and skill up your missile skills and get them before they are in range.
Failing that, save up around 35mil and a buy a drake, sit and tank every mission and let them come to you to be killed. -----------------------------------------------
