Piranha Bombers ignoring shields and PD

Sometimes when I'm piloting a capita, and there are Piranhas coming towards me, for some reason or another they fly above my ship (in the sprite) and can drop bomb which I have no way of avoiding.I can understand the problem is I don't have enough PD, but I think it doesn't make sense that Piranhas can sometimes do unavoidable damage.

Well pretty much that's a capital ship's weakness and why they are escorted by cruisers?
I mean just from what you've described all that comes to mind is "yep sounds about right."

They don't ignore them, but bomber AI makes them fly over your ship and there's nothing stopping them from dropping their bombs when inside your ship. Pretty frustrating, I agree, though it happens more often with shielded bombers, that then hang out in close proximity and then suddenly stop being overloaded and shoot point-blank.

Note that your shield can catch the bombs all the way to its center, if you can manage to cover that arc of your ship.
