Did 1.84 screw over support craft in fleets?

Troop transports are handeled differently. They will run for the corner until the weapons platforms are gone, period. It doesn't matter if you put PDC on them or any other weapons. They don't approach even to shoot at missles. They run for the corner until the WPlats are gone. Also doesn't matter what the secondary strategy is becasue this is part of the insturctions built into the primary strategy of "capture planet".

You could get them to stay with the fleet by changing their primary strategy to optimal, or max range or something. But if you do this they will not drop their troops under any circumstances.

This behavior is hard coded and cannot be changed by any combination of weapons or strategies.

Edit: And this is how it was before and with 1.84. It was not affected by the patch.
