Is there any way to set up a gun to automatically target incoming missiles?
Thanks

I haven't any way to do that.
Anyone else think that defenders are useless? I tried using them, and they always invariably come back to my ship, hover for a while and then blow up, causing me damage (albiet very little damage). When will this missle start doing its job?

No Paul tere isn't. I wish you could set a weapon to point defense mode or something similar, after all they're turrets. Beyond that, the best way to defend against missiles right now is a smartbomb.

I thought there were some ECM systems available?

defenders suck. my small graviton smartbomb is more than enough to knock out those pesky thunderbolt missiles.

I disagree with you guys. Looks like you don't know the correct way how to use defenders. I almost always use defenders, well or Explosion shield that gives me 70% protection from enemy missiles pr actually both. So if I use both - defenders and shield I don't get hit even once, or I get only 30% of explosion damage. But I am telling you that 75% of incoming enemy missiles are always intercepted by my defenders without any problem. That was in 0.3, 0.1 and even in 0.0 systems when I took out by myself guristas terrorist and 4 other guristas with it. Not a big deal, but it only proves that defenders are worth to equip.
But there is a problem - corrateral damage can destroy any container floating in the space in radius of 10km. So if you mine and use defenders - be carefull.

Corto: ECM's will only prevent ships form getting a target lock, if they've already fired the missiles will hit you.

1 x Hostile Target Aquisition module
1 x AC or other fast tracking weapon
Set Hostile Target Aquisition module on autorepeat. Fire you're anti-missile turret of choice on the missile when you get a lock.
It's not a 100% effective method but it works a lot better than smartbombs once you're used to it.
(Edit: And defenders are a load of old crap.)

If you have no targets locked and activate a gun, you'll get a little cross that you can then use to destroy an incoming missile. This, however, is not a very good tactic ;). As for auto-targeters... I believe them targeting missiles was a bug and was fixed in this last patch, since mine no longer targets missiles. Am I wrong?

Nope, they still work. They will only target as fast as you are able to though. So if your targeting speed is over 5s then forget about it, use a smartbomb.
After a bit of practice they work wonders.
