Early Jump Point Defense

Ah, reading comprehension fail on my part. I had gathered from the wiki that it was the lesser of the fire control and ship speed, not the greater of the two. Thank you for correcting me.

The easy way to remember it is that PDCs (with ship speed = 0) need to be able to have a non-zero tracking speed.

I had assumed that PDCs and slow ships needed to mount their beams in turrets even if they weren't intended for point defense. Now I'm going to have to reexamine some of my designs and reclaim the tonnage I was needlessly spending on turret gears.
