Fleet won't attack

[Eki Pogh]

I just lost all my ships because they wouldn't fire at the enemy.

Reload the game when you see ships not firing

It was a ironman game. It's lost now

Unfortunate, but now you know.
It's a long-lasting bug that's only reliably fixed by reloading.

It's one of the oldest bugs in the game and usually caused by enemy fleets retreating mid-battle, other than reloading the next best thing you can do is optimize your damage output a.k.a fire more neutron launchers.

This is a very old bug where your fleet does not attack the enemy fleet, and there are no plans to fix it. And I also want to add that after the last DLS, the game began to slow down very much after 2430+ years of play. The performance in the game has decreased since the last DLS. It became impossible to play in a galaxy with 800 stars after 2430. Everything is very slow. There was no such thing before. Dear developers, finally, take care of optimizing the game.

Ty everyone. Tough luck I guess. Next time I know what to do.

This is just untrue, I'm just wrapping up a playthrough in an 800 star galaxy in the mid-26th century. Of course it's slower than the start of the game, that's inevitable as you add more stuff to the galaxy, but it's hardly impossible to play.
