If you haven't noticed the Order handbook clearly states that the pilot is due to activate the self-destruct mechanism 1 sec before ejecting. Why do you think our ships explode?
And even if you manage to hit our fighter's reactor and thus thinking you would disable it, you would actually destroy the ship with the weapons altogether because of these weapons being directly connected to it due to energy saving.
And if you didn't check the shield damage it's almost 0 compared to 11k or 14k for NPCs
