GAMEBREAKER/SHOWSTOPPER: Cowardly BOPs

I just did two space STFs with my KDF Voquv Carrier.
In both runs, all the birds were doing was cloaking. Yes I was in combat, shooting everything. Regardless of command though, they would cloak and stay cloaked then not attack. Giving them any command other than Recall would force them out of cloak for a second, they would attack once, then cloak again. As soon as the STF ended, they worked fine and decloaked.
My pets are 70% of my damage! That's SEVENTY. My ship is a healboat and relies on the pets for killing things, so this is absolutely gamebreaking for me.
Did somebody switch what the pets do in combat with what they do outside of combat?

Same problem here..Elite BoP's are acting weird. If they are not cloaking, they are 50 km away attacking some random cube.
At least yours exist. My Advanced Delta Flyers simply disappear after a while, and can no longer be re-deployed.
Meanwhile the Peregrines on my Fed Atrox work fine so this seems to not be affecting all ships with hangars.
i mean actually test them ?
clearly the pets with cannons are not doing what they should .
so here is a quick advice from a programmer , instead of rewriting the whole code for them give them something else to counter it , my idea is give them cannons [acc]x3 on them so that they will do the same dmg as the DHC should , thus with 180 degrees firing arc on their strafing runs ( when they actually do one of those ) they will use their weapons .
currents situation is either just flying all over not doing what they should , or firing turrets mainly cause of the flying arc gone bad they and every other cannon frigate has .
Somebody put Recall and targeting on my seventh bar, and it might just be due to random skill assignment, which I don't use but do use a bind that includes it. I had the Attack command chosen, but the one on the bar superseded it and forced my birds into Recall.
Really Cryptic?
Now somebody needs to fix the bug that meimeitoo is experiencing, because it seems more serious. Everybody please check your other bars for carrier commands and tartgeting. That's how I found the problem with my birds. I saw that targeting was being activated without my input, which meant it had to be on bar seven.

Additionally, thanks to the new anti-spam mechanics, when hangar pets misbehave or get lost, you can't simply re-summon them as the hangar registers that, though out of range and not displaying for you, they are still alive, so no relaunch.
I think they need to create a leash for our pets with a 10km range... it will look odd and cruel when the mothership goes to full impulse and drags them along by the collar, but at least they won't get lost.
