drone launching bug?

[Puke]

so you have a planet, or a ship, or whatever. and its packing some drones, but otherwise minding its own business. Then one of your allies wanders by, and parks next to it. Then another one of you allies comes along to kick the butt of the first ally, whom he happens to be at war with.

So your two pals duke it out in the sector where your drone carying thing is. combat insues. your drones launch automatically, even though you are not fighting (the same thing happens with fighters, by the way, except that you can recover them).

Then your drones sit in space, wasting supplies, and cant be recovered. so you use them, or lose them. maybe you break a treaty and blow away one of the allies that just cost you a ship/planet load of drones.

not only is this inconvenient, but its a potential exploit if the one or both of your allies were actually plotting against you, and wanted to force you to waste your drones.

I dont know how easy this is to fix, im guessing "not very." i think it would still be nice to have fixed..
