I have created a custom weapon and missile for the Dragoon from scratch. The attack functions well.

For some reason, the PDD (point defence drone) don´t shoot down the Dragoon missiles. I´ve tried lots of stuff to get it to work, but for some reason it does not.

Any clues?

Ps. I´ve set the effect: kind to 'ranged' of the damage effect.

Make sure the missle unit (the unit which is fired as a missle) that the dragoon fires is correctly identified as a missle (look at missles like those from the maurder). It was nescescary to make it unable to shoot down all missle fired units because it could then block yammato cannon which clearly makes no sense (a few PDD would make battlecruisers usless).

As far as lore goes, I thought the dragoon fired plasma balls of some kind which makes little sense for a PDD to be able to shoot down. However if you want them to be shot down you need to set the missle unit correctly (such that it mimics a maurder or other stopable projectile).
