I had my system invaded by an enemy fleet of about 15 ships. I only had 3 small frigates defending. 2 were in my home system picketing jump points, the third was at a waypoint in another system. When the combat started, I couldnt change the targeting on one of my frigates....it would keep firing but I wanted it to shoot another ship. MORE important was that I couldnt get it to move....nor the other 2 frigates!! I gave order after order to move to various locations and they stayed still. On the system map it would show that their desination was my home planet but they wouldnt move...other non combat ships would but not any of the 3 frigates.
This whole time I began to get Error 5 overflow messages. Luckily I had "saved" the game 2 years before. What happened? Why did my ships freeze? Can i send a copy of my "Stevefire" file? I'm only 4 years into my game so nothing too much is going on.
BTW, Fleet training is off so that isnt it.
Edit: sorry. Thought I posted this in 5.02 bugs thread. Using 5.02
