Since you can't use defenders in thorax how do you defend thorax from missiles ?

Or, alternatively, fill your drone bay with a crapload of the cheapest scout drones and send them towards the pirates firing missiles.
The missiles will impact the drones and voila! autonomous missile defence.
Expensive but it works!

heavy drones + blasters.
If it's dead, it can't shoot you

you can do 2 medium smartbombs on autorepeat in a rotation, kills MOST of the missiles.

Heavy drones + 5 Neutron blasters.
The other blasters aren't all that great.

(edited for spelling :P)
Actually, heavy ion blasters give you the best damage over time per cap use. Since you're going to be running your MWD to get in close, you want to have the most punch for the cap you've got remaining.
Which brings up a good missile defense technique for the Thorax: Since you want to get up close and personal, you've just given yourself an automatic defense against anything that does splash damage. If you're sitting 500m off your target, they'll just hurt themselves if they use missiles against you...

Hybrids hate me anyway, so you're probably right.

I wish CCP would make mines to be deployed using a turret slot device instead of launcher - mines' 500m activation proximity would take care of incoming msl's (when moving away).That would give turret ships something more reliable than drones (which can be orbiting the opposite way msl's are coming - of course u could have loads of cheap drones but splash dmg applies) and smartboms (which take precious turrets to work effectively) or the jettison cargo technique (which works like mines but with no activation proximity :D and can only be done every 2min or so)... one can always flee but it would be nice to have more options 
it would also be cool to have the enemy ships targeted and using some guns on themand be able to make the targets inactive so u could use the remaining guns @ incoming msl's and whatnot - currently one can fire @ msl's but need to have no target locks before.of course this might have been talked and over-talked before...but i missed it.

The coolest thing i'd like to see would be a Point defence turret that just auto targets missiles, and is either a railgun, laser or projectile, and has standard cap/ammo usage.
Its a natural evolution, do you think the gallente/amarrian scientists would just accept the swarms of missiles?

Use 250mm railguns with Iron M ammo. Then you can shoot from 50km, which is out of missile range, Your shieldbooster and perhaps a well tuned hardener can absorb and dammage from larger missiles. Unless youre going PVP in which case this is absolutely the wrong setup. Ge neutron blasters and goe in close with heavy drones. kill them as fast as possible.
