AI-controlled ship firing on empty space after killing a pirate

[Trafalgar]

I left a dreadnought on overwatch under AI control (All, Ship) to kill pirates, which it had successfully done for several days prior to this happening. Today, I noticed that after killing another pirate fighter, it had gotten to sitting perfectly still while firing its main guns constantly at a point in space, never stopping, never pausing.

Screenshot showing that the fire is being targetted at a specific point in space: http://puu.sh/3wBls.jpg

I haven't turned the AI off yet to see if it resets it, since I'm curious (a) if the server is erroring (I'm not an admin, don't see logs), and (b) what will happen if more pirates arrive.

Edit: Server restarted for update. Ship's not firing after server came back up.

Had same thing happen here. Just fly the ship for a second or get a pirate and it should fix it
