I heard there were problems with them exploding immediately after launch (following last patch).
Is this still the case?

It's an ongoing saga.
Most people, in non-empire fights, trust Defenders so little they prefer to use a smartbomb anyway.

I did a friendly PvP fight with a buddy that was a kestrel vs kestrel,and it was just defenders that kept us alive untill I managed to make him eat some lead  so I believe they are fine,they worked as intended and intercepted most of the missiles.

What? Umm.. by eat led you mean guns right? Kestrels don't have guns.

Well they are definitely buggered as far as the Megathron goes. If I try using them, they just explode in my face, so I don't bother any more...

I have been useing them on an Apoc.
I have lvl4 defender skill.
So far they work well.
One thing you must do is face your target,if you dont that Might be the reason they explode, but even if that is not the case they have a harder job tracking the incoming missile and take longer to get to the target. (they go forward first then have to reverse course. All takes time)
Against one cruiser you should have no problems but against 2 or more you might get some missiles getting through, then smartbombs are better.
With smartbombs you need to be carefull you dont hit any friends with them, if you do you will die at the hands of ccp. |

They seem to work on Caracals as well.

Working fine for me in my MOA. Have tested them sitting still, charging targets, and kiting away from targets and all scenarios worked well for me.

No by lead I mean missiles duh  ,anyway I dont think i will intercept turrets with missiles.Unless missiles are made of candy or some other substance I dont know,I think the lead fitted OK,but was maybe a bit misleading.

Maybe it has to do with ship model collision detection. Some ships are ok, some are not.
Or maybe you shoot them while running away so missile fires in front and then collides into you?
In general, I found that defenders aren't that great against Guristas. I had 2 small launchers shooting defenders every 5 seconds but it didn't stop the constant flow of light & heavy missiles from NPCs.

i use two assaults on my moa, with defenders, and four rail guns, those assaults keep a lot of cruise missiles away from me, thus keeping me alive a lot longer, i had a few blowing up but that was becouse they hit a can when i was just emptying them while gurristas attacked
me, btw the cruise i kept away were pvp, i won't be leaving them at home anymore

They seem to work as well as they ever did. Which is'nt saying much sometimes but they're doing their job.

They blow up in my face when i'm using my megathron, so it maybe a problem with specific ships.
Not tried any other of my ships yet tho.

Tried them an hour ago and they work - mega using heavy launchers. Need to try m-12 launchers ,but they use to blowup after launching using same setup.

I noticed that they also tend to go insane when they explode on something other than an opponents missiles, when 1 of my defenders struck another 1 of my defenders, the rest all attacked each other, detonating each other until i turned all my defender fitted launchers off.
And yes sometimes wen flying forwards, they exploded in my ravens face, being stationary or moving away does seem to produce no exploding comedy defenders.
