What Barkhorn said.

I'd like to add that the most convenient way for me to handle those situations is to tick the checkbox "auto-turns", put the events log window to the side of the screen and hit any of the time increment buttons. Then I can minimize the other Aurora windows and watch some youtube clips or read something while I monitor the progress on the events log. After some time you will hopefully notice the increments becoming bigger again, and whenever anything of importance happens the auto-turns will automatically be turned off.

Its two or more NPR's fighting.  It will probably go away.  Sometimes it doesnt.  Sometimes two ships, one from NPR A, the other from NPR B will end up crippled but within detection range of each other.  Since they never stop detecting each other, the NPR's never run anything faster than 5 second intervals.

This is pretty rare, so you should give it quite some time before you decide there's a problem.  200 * 5 seconds is only 1000 seconds, a little less than 20 minutes.  Battles can last longer than that and still be resolved eventually.

by now my event log is full with 5 secs intervalls, that means i've had at least 200. each takes like 5 mins to compute. yes that means one core of my PC spent a whole day just for that (actually one and a half by now).

turning on SM mode doesn't give a clue what's going on and i have no idea. can i expect this to be resolved sometimes, or can this be some sort of corruption that doesn't go away?
