My PC is down so I can't play SE tho I have a few questions : if a ship had a system to send out a "cloud" of decoys+battery blocks, would it be efficient to protect it from turrets and drones ?

(assuming all decoys are mounted on a charged battery)

I mean, we could disperse them if we use either a gravity field to spread them from the hull or from a hangar (after mounting a mass block on them), or a centrifugal force dispersal system like for submunition torpedoes (either by launching a rotational torpedo or using a rotational arm mounted on the side of the ship).

Same way, if a fighter had built-in decoys that it could drop like bombs/additional fuel tanks, could it work as anti-PDC temporary defenses ?

What about a decoy mounted on a torpedo that would use a magplate to stick to an enemy ship's hull, would it cause enemies to friendly fire ?

Would laying a dense field of decoys around a starbase confuse the enemies ?
