FT: speaking of space stations

So how does a non-moving station avoid massive missile fire?
Or the Nova Cannon-armed ship sitting at maximum range (71")
(if NCs are allowed)?

I see some options against missiles: 1) lots of PDS, but it will be never be
enough.
2) as 1 + squadrons of Interceptors.  How many in relation
to the size of the station? 3) there's minefields.. but that's messy and I
prefer not to use those. 4) supporting ships, but missile ships will have
their escorts, also.

Against NC-armed ship(s):
1) big beam weapons, needing to be be class 6.  But the 1-3
potential points of damage per beam (not counting the rare multiple rerolls)
is no match for 2D6 unless you have lots of them and then there will be lots
of NC shots coming the station's way. 2) fighter squadrons based at the
station
2) supporting ships, but NC-armed ships may have escorts.
