So something I have just recently noticed with carriers and having normal combat ships with them. Until all your carriers' drones/fighters have been destroyed, your other escorts and capitals will not fight, they just fly around in circles. If this is specific to me... let me know, but have been watching for the last 6 battles, and my other ships don't fight until the carriers units have been destroyed. It doesn't look like the ai attacks my capitals either until all my fighters/drones are dead. Seems strange, and like wasting the fighters/drones to a degree. Feel like your ships should take advantage of the chaos caused by the fighter swarms. As it stands, a battle with a carrier is simulated like 2 or 3 battles. First if they have drones, drones vs drones, then the winning drones vs fleet, then fleet vs remaining fleet. It just feels wonky as heck atm if this is intentional, and honestly... it feels like it is.
