Made this earlier, it's a mod ship with mod weapons, but it was an entertaining enough setup that I thought I'd post it.

"Captain! Pilum Missile's detected at 18 degrees starboard!"
"Thank you ensign, but I'm quite sure our Burst PD array can handle that"
(Chuckles around the bridge)
"It seems to be a volley of thirty-two, sir"
(Dead silence)

I use the same setup on mine, but i take away that massive cannon and put even more pilums.
30 pilums at once isn't something to laugh at, it consistently get throught the onslaught's PD.

I seriously doubt you'd say the same if you're currently engaged in a fight and 30 pilums come straight at ya, it's a tough choice between being obliterated real fast and a little slower.

yeah, pilums don't do jack to shields, until you have 2 of these at standoff range pegging them at you plus close range ships skirmishing.
