the launched fighter drone (drone core with assembler flag and blueprint) may fire missile towards carrier , although missile cant damage the carrier.

(in picture , the fighter and carrier is of same side, enemy ship is already destroyed)

also, ship pointdefence turret rarely shoot at enemy fighter drone (both laser and bullet ,except pointdefence missile). it takes forever to wipe out enemy fighter drone.

the PD turret always aim at enemy fighter drone , but not fired in any way.

(in picture , the enemy carrier is destroyed , the remain ship and fighter is from different side)
