@MrRipYourHeadOffThat works only in dogfights, in fleet battles it won't stop them from camping from inside their cap ships shield.
Looks like a big design oversight to me, the idea to fly close to a cap ship beneath the shield to destroy turrets / sub systems is not so bad to begin with. But the way it's implemented it heavily supports kamikaze tactics and (hopefully) unintended cheesing when defending.
That's true, they can sit behind the shields. But the shields can be dropped and you can fly around the sides to avoid them.
If they want to sit still and be a turret then just treat them like a turret and avoid them. Go around, get inside the shields and kill them from there. Or just hit an objective they aren't sitting on top of.
This is really only a problem if you're flying straight at the capital ship constantly.
Avoiding them is one (usually not too hard) thing. But it comes at the cost of precious time, time in which those turrets can pick of the turret and AI fighters and end the attack phase before you can really do much. And all just because of lazy / not well thought out game design. Even worse if those turtles have a brain as @Petersaber mentioned. Just because you're lucky enough to not be plagues with such behaviour doesn't mean it's an issue.
