Fighters incorrectly target carrier while ignoring fighters in 1.84 gold

[Phoenix-D]

This may not be a bug- how do you have your targeting priorities set? You may be telling the fighter's AI to prioritize ships over fighters, so they attack the carriers first.

EDIT: Yep, very possible to order your fighters to attack fighters. Just move "fighters" to the top of the Type Priority list. The only problem here is the insane single mindness they chase the carrier with.

What I mean by that is they only fire on other fighters if they end their turn in range, so most of the time they don't fire. On the other hand, you can fix this by clicking the "Do not use type priorities" box. Then they follow only the "nearest, weapon, etc" list above.
