[1.71] Battle viewer shows point defense when no point defense?

from GalCiv3 Forums

In a game started on the 1.71 opt-in, I fought two battles against Drengin fleets that had only shields for defense.  My ship's first missile attack in the battle viewer showed the missiles exploding just short of their target, which is what one would expect if the target ships had point defense.  But they had no point defense (it was 12/0/0).  Has anyone else seen this?  I didn't think to check the results log to see if those attacks were actually negated, I'll try to remember to do that if I see it again.

OK, never mind.  The same visual of the missile exploding just short of the target just happened in another battle, and in the details it showed the missile as missing its target.  I guess that animation is being used sometimes now instead of the missile flying off the edge of the screen.
