Title: Unending Combat
Post by: Big Bantha on July 12, 2014, 03:11:18 PM: I got engaged into a space battle between myself (EotH) and the IR, myself with a sizable fleet, and the Imperials with only Turr Phennir (dumb AI?). I was able to bring him down with 3 corvettes, but the battle didn't end after that. There were no other enemies, and I had to wait until the AI decided to call a retreat, almost 10 minutes later (patients is a virtue).

This is a bug in some GCs as the game doesn't recognize he's dead but also won't let him move

It's also a problem on Etti IV - the warlord there seem to have several platoons of stormtroopers but the only building on the ground is an abandoned heavy factory. I think the latter might be solved if minor faction AI is turned back on.

Yup, same as what I do.

If the AI spawns multiple turbolaser special structures on a single planet (which is a bug in its own right) you can't finish the ground battle IIRC.

Grodin Tierce can't die in space(I mean his ISD explodes but he's there in the roster afterwards) but if he dies on ground he dies permanently.
