A support freighter with some spare weapons on board was involved in yesterday's battle for reasons I won't go into.

It not only launched the Fighters in the fighter bays but also fired the weapons in cargo. I have had this happen before.

Should be fixed on next update. It does mean that ships will not fire any type of ground weapons outside boarding (but that seems correct in any case).
