I've started using defenders a bit, and acnnot figure out how to use the flaming things.
Anyone have any tips they can share, or if there is a tutorial somewhere?
Thanks

Load them in a rocket launcher
Right click on the launcher and set Manual On
If a bad guy is firing missiles at you just spam that launcher's fire key
However, if the attacker is close (within 20km) his missiles will likely hit you before your defender launches.
Also, it takes 3 Defenders to destroy an incoming Torpedo.

before RMR, I used a rocket launcher/assaut launcher with defenders bound to the F1 key. the moment something targeted me I just kept hitting f1 over and over and over and over and over until the fight was finished (it becomes second nature after a while).
Since RMR, missiles go much faster and generally hit you before your defender defends.

I'd actually recommend (if you can get your timing down right) just to use a smartbomb to do the trick, it's harder to time it, but it'll at least make heavies go poof, haven't been able to test it on cruises or torps yet, but pretty sure a large smartbomb could at least make the cruises go poof.
As I said before though, takes a while to get the timing down but it works.

As a general rule, do not.
They are only useful in a few very specific PvE situations.

I gave up in Defenders years ago. They waste a launcher that could be killing the ship that is attacking you.
To quote a great mind: "If someone is trying to Kill you. You just try and Kill him right back."

I agree, don't use them. Its a waste of a slot and you might as well put something more aggressive in there.
The SB theory works well if you haven't got a big spawn. It'll start to eat you're cap if you say had 3 x NPC BS and 2 x Cruiser (due to length of time you'll be fighting) and the timing would be a nightmare.
Learn to takethe missiles imo and tank you're ship
What better place than here, what better time than now? |

I tried them on my prophecy and quickly realized that they are more of a pain in the as$ than anything else. Put a real missle launcher on there and shoot back!!!
interesting point w/ the smartbomb though! I wonder if a small one would eat up missles. It would be nice to stuff that on a BC and fly around with 2 small ones on different intervals. Up in caldari space that could be a great cruiser+ class ship missle defense. The cap usage isnt much for smalls, you dont need to worry about those pesky frigates that orbit at 2k, and missles from the bigger ships get popped on the way in.
