Advantages

The Large Decoy is a special defense. It has no attack, only shield and hull. You may only have one Large Decoy per planet.

Its primary purpose is to absorb hits from opposing attackers so your other defenses and ships do not. It can absorb large hits without taking hull damage, and even when damage gets through, its massive hull helps keep it alive.

Nothing has rapid fire against the Large Decoy, so it is useful against Ares Class Bombers and Zeus Class Starbases.

Disadvantages

The Large Decoy is relatively expensive and has no attack value. It does not draw fire from opposing fleets, it is merely hit randomly like any other defense. Therefore if you have a lot of units, the odds of any attacks hitting the Large Decoy become small.

Amusement

This unit can be very amusing for a defender when the attacking force has a total fire power less than the shield strength of the Large Decoy. The defender will win with not a shot fired.
