Remember, the bomb is right about to go off; the assault team has already taken Fire Control and the bomb is ready to blow. There's no need to blast the station with the bomb about to blow up anyway. There's no need to destroy the station, ergo, the carrier doesn't bother to fire on it. Think of it as you sneaking by the sniper, and you know your own team's sniper has him lined up in his sights and has his finger on the trigger. : Yes.
