Back to the topic's origin, a rookie question:
My "Point Defenses" don't work, at least i never saw them shoot or protect me... I have plenty of Shiva Furnaces, so what's wrong?

Your point defences are bound to your secondary key, you have to hold your secondary weapon button down to activate point defences. These lasers are very very short range and you need a lot of point defense lasers to take out some of the heavier wieght projectiles in the game (though you may as well add more weapons to kill the ships fast instead).

A lot of Buddhist Sutras talk about life from "other worlds." Literally. We Buddhists have every base covered.

Remember, for point defense, you have to BUY it first, from the melnorme. Also, make sure you have enough energy to fire. (say a quarter full or so)
Otherwise, all you do when you press the secondary firing button is waste good finger energy...

Ok i got it... the Point Defenses only shoot if there's a target in range. You can't shoot at nothing just to test them.
Thanks anyway for your obvious replies

I prefer my one-shot-kill configuration to the rapid-fire configuration you have here -- all four weapon slots loaded with Hellbores and only 3 shivas. It can be frustrating if you miss, but you rarely do, and on small ships you can kill them just by tapping the fire key once. Incredibly satisfying.

Deadlier if you go with 3x dynamo, 2x tracking (you really don't need 3 to hit most of the time). Usually after that (the 2 hellbores in the front), you can devastate and push around both Ur-Quans like they're Umgahs. Continuous rate of fire, bay-bee!
2x Crew
1x super fuel
3x tracking
4x shiva
1x dynamo
2x hellbore (front 2 slots)
If I am missing something or have gone over, thats ok, because it's deadly whatever way you config it really.

Well, I also like loading up on laser defense, infact, its very fun to kill a ship that way, hard yes, but very, very interesting....
