I propose:
When you activate a launcher with defender missiles, that module doesn't fire the missiles, but remains active until it detects an incoming missile (give it a couple of seconds lead time to detect or something). Then it fires

not to mention have them target incoming missles from any hostile ship that is firing on friendly ships. make it a real support role instead of defending your self.

It would be interesting to make defender missiles some kind of a gamble.
They shouldn't give 100% safety, fot that would cause just too much imbalance, but some improvement is necessary. At the moment they seem pretty much unusable.
Give them a certain to hit chance. 50% or 60% perhaps. Or even less to hit but instead far better handling.

It would be very intersting to have a specific ship ship for each race for true forward escort and protecton duties. a orward screen would be able to intercept all of the junk flying at your fleet, but even if it can intercept 30-40% of it, that is a huge difference.
one thing is that it would have to be able to intercept both missles and guns, othrwise Caldari are simply screwed. So it may not be possible. Thi I think would require way to much coding. Maybe make EW frigs be able to use extremely long range turrnt destabilizers so the effect is the same? give it about a 30-40% chance to git, and the fitting requirements so that only 1 could be fitted. dunno, it would require a lot of balance work, but it's an interesting idea.

Yes, i like the idea of limited chance of success, but they will fire at the target. Will make them more usable without overpowering them.
An idea i had myself which might be a little silly so shoot me if you dont like it but, drones which fire mini defender missiles. They will have an even lower chance of success (maybe 15 - 25%). Just an extra idea.

They're a huge gamble - right now Defenders really put the miss in missile. ;) I've tried... really I have. I even put a couple more skill levels in it to see if it made a difference. (It does - they miss much faster now).
As well as the fact it can take several Defenders to kill a single incoming missile, you have to trigger it at exactly the right moment or it will head off in the wrong direction, zip past the incoming warhead and then chase it all the way back to your ship, arriving just after impact. There is no target prioritisation, so if there's 1 light missile and half a dozen heavies inc, you can bet the Defender will attempt to intercept the light missile (and miss) rather than one of the heavies.
Right now I think they should be removed from the game and replaced with some form of point defense AMS that has been suggested many times. Some type of gatling gun / laser with high ammo / cap consumption would be nice.

lets nerf missiles even more.
Lets have other ships kill missiles in space as well.
surrender caldari nation your primary weapon is now obsolete
