Dan, it has been suggested MANY MANY times to have the NPC battle tab spawn at the top rather than the bottom. With the new Attiroth and the spawn rate of its Repair Ships, the top-spawn is an absolute must. ASAP. TU just took an Attiroth out a little bit ago and I hit at least 35 Repair Ships. Closing the Attiroth Carrier box, then scrolling for the repair ship is just plain ridiculous. I've only got 6 NPC slots so I imagine those that have 8 are even more frustrated by this. It's bad enough we have to click-wait to make sure a Repair Ship doesn't spawn with each shot because the normal lag-time on the red boxes means you can attack a few, if not several, more times before you are even aware there is a potential for the Carrier to repair.
Don't get me wrong, I love the new NPCs. But their abilities (especially the Attiroth) mean that some minor adjustments need to be made to the battle mechanics.
