MK48s don't use circle search patterns for that reason. As for Re-Attack, that's part of re-aquisition, which basically means it hasn't gone back into the full search mode yet, hence ACR is still cutout.

Now I should note here, before others do, that I am referring to standard MK48s here. ADCAPs use VERY different Own-Ship protection methods that I'm not gonna even touch here. Ones that don't deal with gyro angles at all, and hence have search patterns and such that allow them to come back towards the firing ship in such a way as they STILL would not attack it's firing platform.
