Incidentally, UCAVs don't need a catapult to launch from the Freedom. They are light enough and fast enough to take off from the runway of the ship.

But i am assuming that is not the point or the intention

This happens because the functions that run the catapult attach functionality (BIS_fnc_Carrier01CatapultLaunch or BIS_fnc_Carrier01CatapultActionAdd) use "player" and "vehicle player" in a lot of places.

When using a UAV, "player" is referring to the uav operator, and "vehicle player" whatever vehicle the uav operator is using, NOT the uav and the currently controlled uav crew.
