Did 1.84 screw over support craft in fleets?

It's not the ships orders but the Fleet orders that don't work. If you put ships in a fleet and give the fleet 'don't hurt me' orders they attack anyway. (or I should say revert to thier ship class orders) The only way around this is to give the ships a don't hurt me strategy too. Which is often not desirable since you may have other similar class ships attacking that turn.

You are having them stay in formation right? IIRC the fix only applies if you have everyone stay in formation..
