Unless I've missed an update, yes, they do.  Pretty darned good against them, too, since the fighter ability to halve shields doesn't work on PDS.

Re: Starmada X or B5X: PDS vs Fighters questions.

Hello everyone!
    All of my Starmada "X" Designs have level 3 shields with PDS.  This makes them very resistant to fighters and other ships.  Fighters can only penetrate and cause hits on my ships on a roll of 4 or 6.  This makes these ships Very resistant to fighters.  The "c" battery , which is the AA battery has Range-Based-ROF or Rerolls-to-hit,  which allows me to pulverise attacking fighters both as they approach, and after they do their often innefective attack...
  This type of defense also protects against other ships, which need a 4 or 6 to penetrate also.  And if you reinforce the shield facing hostile ships to strength four or use screens with fours facing the hostile ships, they only penetrate on a "6".      smile
