in capture and hold space carrier pets can be left with aceton assimilator at each cap and they defend the cap while the owner is off at other places.

this is obviously not what the dev's want and it need fixing.

Possibly not intended though with the pet commands to defend it does not surprise me it works. Sounds like a smart combo that fits carriers well.
Would it be consider unfair to do the same with Offensives turret implacements?

I admit, that's actually quite clever. Whoever did that obviously knows what they are doing. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.
