Probably that they will work even when the ship is jump-blind.

Well, I can't remember. Someone will add it here, I'm sure.

I believe the in-game reasoning for this is that they work at such a short range that the atmosphere wouldn't affect their operations.

When using PDCs, do CIWS work on PDCs that are on a planet with an atmosphere? I have seen CIWS work on a PDC deployed on a body without atmosphere, but when a planet has an atmosphere, do CIWS always work, or are they reduced by the atmosphere the same way that other directed energy weapons are reduced?
