Hey, so quick question: did they mess up the ordinance district?

As per the title: I have a military arkship that has over 25,000 warrior drone jobs resulting in a 12.8X modifier (1,280%) increase to the relevant damage systems.
I took this ship against the automated dreadnought using:
Gamma lasers, arc emitters, neutron launchers, and T3 strike craft focused offenses. None of these could deal enough damage to the thing to break it's shields let alone damage it's armor(shield hardening hurts the strike craft).
Additionally, seems like the dreadnought 's titan lance weapon doesn't have a minimum range which one-shots my T3 arkship.

Tldr: The damage I am outputting feels like base weapon damage not being amplified by the district's BS damage scaling. When I take a look at the ship card, the damage on the weapons also present as base damage.

PS: I personally think that the dreadnought whould have been alpha striked by the Neutron launchers.

Also worthy of note: why do the arkships act like they have the basic mauler AI instead of the much superior artillery/carrier computers? Is it because of the damn flack/pd?
