Question about Auxilleries

[DontFearDaReaper]

We just started playing B5 at our gaming group and we are enjoying the game and the figures a lot. We did run into a bit of a situation this weekend while playing out an assault on a space station scenario.

One side had breaching pods which were intercepted by fighters. From what we could determine thumbing through the rules both were considered auxilleries but the breaching pods had no rating for dogfighting although there is a reference in the rules that all auxilleries should have a dogfighting rating. How should combat between fighters and assault pods be handled? Should the fighters just shoot at them or can they dogfight them? If they can dogfight them, how is the opposed die roll handled?

There's a sentence under the Breaching Pod rules that states they are automatically destroyed if they are attacked in a dogfight.

That doesn't stop them supporting another dogfighting unit though :?
