Not going to waypoint

[Flashand]

im just curios if there was ever an attempt at making it so battleships and destroyers did not just fly straight into ANY red station and attack it... i am currently on the yaki mission and attacking the station... i port over to a katana to take out some of the drones i triggered. i placed a way point away from the station appx 50k for the destroyer to head to initially starting at 10k away from the station and was aimed at the waypoint before i ported over. next thing i know i am watching the station attack the destroyer as it turned around and headed straight at the station... i am trying to figure out why a dev would program such behavior instead of go to waypoint
