Are these worth putting on ship? because a legionmate told me that the space of the highest tier ones will just give a bigger dmg cap, resulting in more dmg.
so should i get researchable?
and what about non-researchable?
what would be the decks-def ratio which would make it good for having a defense module on?

They are more efficient than most npc drops items- and they are improved in efficiency for space once you have three velox thrusters

Mad not to get all 8 researched and fittable defence mods unless you like having a ship that melts in harsh sunlight

The massive defense is worth it. I know I don't have them yet but I'm judging this based on the fact that most higher ranks have them.

As is everything at that rank Captain Obvious but they are cheaper in upkeep than most top tier stuff.

At low ranks you're better off with the npc mods.
and no duh you have no space for them

I have all 8 defence modules. Whilst they aren't quite top tier (TT Array and Exergonic) it is still worthwhile getting all 8 online.

Although if you're not going for a max-space ship, I don't think they're the best option.
For example, keeping deck space under 2k and only installing most efficient mods, you're better off with these defenses:
Velox Thruster x3
Sha'din Forcevoider x4 (until you can upgrade from those pesky hyperports!)
Silthion T-Phase Utricle x4
Dark Phase Engine x4

and maybe
BM50 Convoy Shuttle x3

This yields approx 2710 (not including volex %) defense for only 398 deck space, giving a final ratio of 6.8def/decks (or 2410 def, 338 decks, and 7.13 def/deck if not using the BM50)

Trans Entropy x4 is 3280 defense for 408 decks. Ratio of 8.04. Your set up only yields a 7.88 ratio after the velox bonus. Toss on Velox x3 for another 90 decks and you get a 9.37 ratio (498 decks, 4665 defense).
