I was playing normally until two alien races (one of them precursors) began a battle so I let the turns pass automatically. I realized the battle was lasting too long so I activated SM mode to watch what was happening. (See attached pictures).
I calculated when they would meet so I passed the turns until they should met but the situation was exactly the same, nobody moved a single millimeter though the precursors have a speed of 2153 km/s.
Is there a way to solve this? Maybe deleting the ships? How can I do this? Maybe there is another (and better) way?
Thanks in advance

The screenshots don't really tell me much, but anyway, battles tend to progress in 5 second increments. I suggest setting auto turns to a high number, clicking the button and grabbing a book.
-
But at the distance they are and the speed precursors have, both fleets should meet after 7 hours but after 8 hours they are at the exact same position. I think the problem is they'll never engage in combat.
-
If you clicked the 8 hour increment button, the game probably stopped it after 5 seconds. You'll need to find out how many 5 second increments it will take, and use the force auto turns feature in the top right of the system map.

I used the force auto turns until the 8 ingame hours passed.
-
Same happened to me, I just deleted the system (lost a couple ships though :/). I think the precursors are following at a set distance or something, and they can't reload those boxlaunchers so. . . . Eternal 5 sec!

Thanks, it worked.
