I came up with a new idea.
I found a Jump Point (and build a Jump Gate on it). This Jump Point is only 70,470,000 Km from an Asteroid away (I disabled asteroid orbit due performance issues). So I designed a PDC for defending this Jump Gate if anything hostile comes through. Make this any sense or is it useless to use an PDC for defending Jump Gates? Here the Design:
Hessen class Fighter Base 44,800 tons 1077 Crew 5277.5 BP TCS 896 TH 0 EM 0
Armour 14-112 Sensors 1/588 Damage Control Rating 0 PPV 0
Hangar Deck Capacity 12000 tons Magazine 3080
Fuel Capacity 1,000,000 Litres Range N/A
CIWS-120 (30x6) Range 1000 km TS: 12000 km/s ROF 5 Base 50% To Hit
Size 4 Anti-ship Missile (770) Speed: 32,000 km/s End: 15.6m Range: 30m km WH: 5 Size: 4 TH: 277 / 166 / 83
Active Search Sensor 3000 t / 501 M Km (1) GPS 35280 Range 501.0m km Resolution 60
Strike Group
44x Fighter Fighter Speed: 11600 km/s Size: 5
4x AWACS Fighter Recon Fighter Speed: 12083 km/s Size: 4.8
Missile to hit chances are vs targets moving at 3000 km/s, 5000 km/s and 10,000 km/s
This design is classed as a Planetary Defence Centre and can be pre-fabricated in 18 sections
The Base has 4 Strikeforces of 11 Fighter an 1 Awacs fighter for each strikeforce
And here the two fighter:

This design is classed as a Fighter for production, combat and maintenance purposes
The Recon Fighter is part of the strikeforce in case (by any ridicolous reason) that the PDC goes down. So he is only back up for the strikeforce

Am I completely wrong or is it a viable idea for defending Systems?
