firing on your own fighters?

Yeah, that definitely sounds plausible. My PDCs fire on my own fighters when they hit me (damn drunk pilots..) but when I'm careful to avoid ramming my fighters, my PDCs don't start firing on them. The collisiongrid "cheat" helps (for me at least) to avoid ramming.

Haven't had much luck with that Once they catch up to me, if I so much as turn around they get rammed instead of scooped up.
