Cruiser adv comm arrays and hangar ships?

Title says, i searched a bit but could not find if hangar pets are included or excluded from the cruiser commands, flying my maruder flight deck cruiser and noticed that advanced orion interceptors are not affected by commands or at the very least no icon or visual effect, but the aceton assimilator benefits from it, so do hangar ships count as allies? or aceton should be excluded too from from benefits?

Idk if its on purpose or not, so i consider it a bug for now.

    Cruiser commands affect allies within 5km of the cruiser. Carrier pets tend to wander a lot further than that to attack enemies which means they would be too far to be affected by the cruiser command buffs. The way to test it would be to sit next to the cruiser (while not in combat) with your hangar pets with you and click a pet to see if it has the buff.

    I'm aware of those facts, was sitting next to a bunch of cruisers in the Quonos' system where everybody was trying out their cruiser commands, i saw the visual and icon on players, myself, my aceton assimilator but not on the interceptors, i'd accept it if it were to affect players only, but aceton is not a player, its a player created entity just like the hangar ships which is a bit confusing, again, if it were to players only then why affect aceton, if not then why not affects pets?

    Hanger pets are excluded.

    From

    search for gorngonzolla's post "This excludes things like torpedoes, mines and hangar pets"

    aceton assimilator is a big ???, ship parts that split off (saucer separation) are suppose to be effected but no idea what the assimilator is suppose to be.
