Isn't this simply an issue of not keeping a safe distance?
Yep, happened to while I was leveling Viper. Just flying over the skies Thavnair, just noticed there was something happening far beneath me... and splat.

I assume no Z-level checking at all for some mechanic, turning it into an anti-air reverse orbital cannon.
