Strategies...Damage section?

[nesrall]

In setting your strategies under the damage section...there is a box to check that says ..damage until all weapons are gone...I was assuming that overrides the percent of damage to a ship but I notice my ships keep firing until they totally disperse of the enemy ship, of course long after the enemy ship isn't firing back at them...Do I need to drop ship damage to 0 percent for my ships to quit firing at the enemy ship when his weapons are gone...or does checking that strategy box really have no effect & my ships will keep firing til the enemy ship has been defeated anyway...Any observations on this would be greatly appreciated....Thanks!
