Autonomous weapons don't require fire controls (FC) to fire, but do the get the normal FC bonus on attack "to Hit" roll?

Base rules p. 29 under Autonomous states that weapons with this property do not use an FC point to fire.
Base rules p. 42, the Direct Fire sequence, step 2 states that you add current FC rating to the roll.
The two do not conflict - you don't use an FC point to fire Autonomous weapons, but they still get the bonus to hit.

I knew they didn't require a FC. But wasn't sure if they actually get the FC bonus because they use an internal FC system.
Thanks for the clearification.

The internal system is assumed to have been built to the same specs as the rest of the ship.

That makes sense....FCs cost enough.
