It seems to me that dmg items or hp items is usually the way to go, instead of defenses. esp with the support items that reduce enemy defenses by 50%, and the fact that each defense is only useful 1/3 of the time, i'm just wondering if anyone is finding it successful to actually use the defense items on their ships.
In the early to mid-stage of the game I do not equip my ships with any defensive items. To me, the benefits gained with defensive items do not outweigh the benefits gained by missiles. I do, however, add a Foundry (+4 repair per turn) because I find the ability to quickly repair tiny and small hulls to be valuable.
You mean defense modules like ECM or shields? I don't use them a whole lot. Just large fleets composed of tiny hulls. I kill the enemy using overwhelming firepower. I try to kill the enemy before they get a second round to fire back.
