[Noble713]

I've been trying to assault a planet. Through intel, I've managed to get both orbital defense bases and an enemy ship to mutiny to my side, so the AI has no space assets, only it's planet. I have about 20 ships, including 3 transports with troops. I give my transports orders to move toward the planet and drop troops. The rest of my fleet just mills about, or perhaps even tries to flee. What's annoying is that the combats keep ending after about 20 seconds, long before my transports reach the planet. I've burned up about 4 movement points trying to close the distance so far. Why does combat keep ending? I could understand if I was trying to withdraw, but I have (stolen) bases and ships sitting right next to the planet.
