Fer'Jai frigates in intercept mode won't leave my side and don't attack any target

Was exited for the new things for carrier pets in the latest patch but I'm sorry to report that it's very buggy.

When I set my Fer'Jai frigates to intercept mode they just cling to me and won't move to attack anything. It doesn't matter if the enemy attack me or not they just fly around me like nothing is happening.

Attack mode is better but it's my perception watching them that the recent improvements to the AI attacking with front towards enemy now is gone.

While in attack mode I've also witnessed how they fly so far from my ship that they disappeared from the pet UI and my view attacking things I hadn't even encountered yet, something this latest patch said wouldn't happen.

With this latest patch it feels like one step forward two steps back for pet AI.

Ya, the new AI is not functioning correctly at all. The Fer'jai frigates, the Elite Scorpions, the BoP's and the JHF's are all flying off and attacking random targets that are 30+ km away from me, even in Intercept mode. According to patch notes, they are not supposed to attack anything outside of 12km..

I wish we had a working AI like other MMO's, but i suppose this is what we are getting. I just wont fly carriers anymore, and I will not buy zen to convert to dil to buy any more pets

Another thing I noticed, when I switched mode from intercept to attack on one wing, one of the ships started to attack but the other was still stuck in intercept/do nothing mode so it seems switching orders doesn't work correctly either.
