So, I've noticed a glitch in the AI.
During AI fights, friendly AI ships will attack Pirates, and the pirates will move to the side and back. The frriendly ship follows to try and keep a weapons lock, but will always miss the pirate.
The ships then float endlessly off into the infinite void, firing pointlessly at each other, locked in an infinite death spiral.
It even does this with multiple ships. I had an AI fleet battle in my sandbox, and all the ships involved floated off in a big spiral, never to be seen again.
