I had an auton. I was attacking a base. I told the auton to wait. Some little Zulu ships came out and started harassing my auton (since they missed me). One of them shot my auton, and the auton started doing this wobble thing like it was attempting to stay put, but the momentum of the shell which hit it was knocking it off course. My auton drifted over to the base, which shot it and it blew up.

Sad story.

Didn't the auton try to shoot back?

Yes, but it didn't stand much of a chance against the station. At at 70% damage, it didn't have much of a chance.
