Point defense

A Point Defense is a type of defensive ship component that counters a Unrecognized icon name Missile weapon. When a ship with a positive Unrecognized icon name Point Defense value is hit by a Unrecognized icon name Missile weapon attack, the damage is subtracted from the Unrecognized icon name Point Defense value, instead of the Unrecognized icon name Hit Points, at a rate of 50%. If the attacking ship has the Unrecognized icon name Cluster Warhead augment, the attack ignores the 50% damage reduction and subtracts all of the damage from the Unrecognized icon name Point Defense value.
