Has anyone else noticed that when you have a large group of ships on auto attack and you send them into battle against another large fleet, a great number of your ships will just end up sitting there doing nothing? If you watch them long enough they'll eventually pick a target and shoot a bit... then they just sit here again... Unless you manually force them to attack stuff a lot of ships spend too much time doing nothing when they could be fighting.. it's a bit frustrating..
I've checked all their settings such as making sure they're set to attack anything in the whole gravity well and auto attack is turned on etc...
