I believe fighters in cargo will launch themselves during combat. At least they used to.

Fighters & Weapon Platforms will defend the Planet if in storage. Mines, Satellites & Drones dont.

Drones do. Mines and Satellites don't.

Nodachi has come up with a nice drone tatic... Drone Ramming ships.. Very effective... if your planet is being blockaded by a ship set to do not get hurt

Heavily armored Fighter ramming ships are good too.
Takes care of those pesky little Groups of fighters.. pretty darn well, kind of cheesy though..

I still think that you should not be able to ram fighters and drones.

Yes, they will launch from cargo.
